Weight: 340.2 lbs ( 154.3 kg) BMI: 43.7 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: X Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties, BBQ Pork Rinds Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Week 1 (Day 9) Sober Month 2 (Day 70) Had a pretty good drop in the weight this morning. It is always nice when you wake up and have to poop. Always satisfying to poop before weighing in. It is a bit odd because I usually have to poo AFTER I weigh in. Of course after I have breakfast and a pot of coffee. So reweighing in would be pointless. And now that the post has started off on that brown note, I have to say that the waist is kind of down as well. It's closer to 56.75 inches (144.1 cm), but I round to the closest half inch (1.27 cm). I didn't have time for breakfast this morning. Roommate had to go to his daily clinic. I was going to do grocery shopping while he was going to his appointment. I was going to go to the 30th street store, but they were al...

Weight: 340.2 lbs ( 154.3 kg) BMI: 43.7 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Cabbage Soup Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Tap water      Okay, going back down. I was getting discouraged by the ups. Mom is leaving encouraging comments on my Facebook posts, and I've been bad at replying to them. They are appreciated, I'm just not sure of what to say to respond to them.      Went by the tag office this morning and they were able to fix the title for my car. They just stapled an “Affidavit of Correction” to the title. And they did it for free! I was so scared that I'd get the response of, “Yeah, we can fix it, but you'll have to pay the three years of back registrations and get insurance, and late fees, and the fee fees and the other fees.” But no it was just a matter of getting a piece of paper stapled to the old title. The look on the face of the lady at the tag office was kind of funny when I breathed out a, “Oh, tha...

Weight: 340.2 lbs (154.3 kg) BMI: 43.7 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: X Dinner: Spaghetti Drinks: 1/2 Pot of coffee      I'm seeing that drinking a 2 liter of soda before bed is a bad idea. I still need to drink more water, but I didn't have a headache like last time I couldn't sleep. I was still flopping like a beached fish.       Coffee is burning my tongue. Maybe drinking it too fast. I'm drinking the coffee like I used to drink beer. I finish a cup of coffee, and immediately get up and pour another cup of coffee. When I had beer I would finish a can and then immediately get up and grab another can. I'm not sure if I'm just trading one addiction for another, but I'm betting that coffee is healthier than beer.       Took time to help Grandma take down Christmas decorations. It was quite awkward working on them. I was taking her decorations down while she was at her brot...

Weight: 340.2 lbs (154.3 kg) BMI: 43.7 Waist: 56.5 (143.5 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Bacon and fried eggs Lunch: Queso soup Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: pot of coffee Being down almost four pounds (just under 2 kilos) over a single day is one heck of a way to start the day!      Had a hard time getting to sleep last night. But that might have been the 2L of diet soda I had before bed. I had a headache, it wasn't splitting or overly agonizing. It was just very distracting. As I was flopping around I looked up some of the withdraw symptoms of some of the things I'm trying to quit. And fun fact. Both Alcohol and Carbohydrate withdraw include disrupted sleep and headaches. (A bit unfair that both of the addictions that I wish to fight have so many of the same symptoms) But again I'm not sure if the trouble getting to sleep was various withdraws, or a 2L of soda right before bed. And the headache might have been the withdraws or because of dehydration because the only...

Weight: 340.2 lbs Waist: 54.5 Mood: Happy, yet slightly frustrated Breakfast: Coffee, pork chops Lunch: Bacon ranch chicken casserole Dinner: Green beans, Hamburger patties Snack: cheeseburger patties, Notes: once again I gained a bit of weight. It is slightly frustrating, I keep telling myself not to worry about the day to day fluctuations, but I get so close to making progress for the year, and then never mind. I am starting to make progress on my waist line, so I'll add that to the top stats I'm not sure why I wasn't including that anyway. I did manage to get one the recipe videos recorded like I wanted to. The recipe that I uploaded yesterday was recorded a couple of months ago. I want to be recording a video a week and uploading once a month. That way I have a long back log of videos ready to be uploaded. Spent the afternoon at Mom's house, she wants to start uploading videos. Or at least start doing live streams I'm a little ...
