Weight: 306.9 lbs ( 139.2 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Top Loin Steak Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 529) Keto Month 3 (Day 92) (142/365 Days 2026 Keto) Heh, Tuesday is the second day. I was able to wake up early enough to get breakfast coked and get to the mechanic to get the oil changed. I was kind of nervous as they were expecting me to be there at 9am. And sure I work at the store from time to time at 9am, but there's a difference between being late for work and being late for an appointment. I was a little annoyed that I was five minutes early, but it was 25 minutes into the hour that they finally got the car into the bay. I had them rotate the tires. I had never had this done before because I was worried about additional charges, but as Mom and Step-Dad had bought the tires for me as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago there the t...

Woke up with a Text Message from the Storage Company asking if I would accept messages from them. Then a bit later I got a call from them letting me know that the bill was due and they would be willing to take the payment over the phone. But the storage place is literally the direction I drive to get to work. I have to drive by the storage place to get to work so I stopped by. Also I wanted to get a paper receipt to show the payment. I'm not sure why I'm keeping the paper rece...

Weight: 307.1 lbs ( 139.3 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Cashews Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 521) Keto Month 2 (Day 84) (134/365 Days 2026 Keto) Woke up early enough to cook the bacon and eggs for breakfast, but didn't have time to cook the pork loin that I was going to have for lunch. It wasn't that busy at work in matters of numbers of people coming through, but in the way that people came through. People just spent all day seemingly in panic mode. Of course I had to work on a Holiday. At least everybody else showed up for work. Had the same awkward conversation about five times today as people asked me if I was planning on going out to the lake. Nope, I have to work all day. “You're not going to do anything?” No I have to work all day. “Have any plans for the hol...

Weight: 307.1 lbs ( 139.3 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Sausage Patties and Cheese Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 515) Keto Month 2 (Day 78) (128/365 Days 2026 Keto) Hard time waking up this morning. I woke up at 8am and just kind of laid there for most of the 9 O'clock hour. Again, I wasn't sick or feeling ill, I just really had to fight against the idea of laying around on my day off. It's my day off I should just relax. But then I knew that if I didn't do anything I'd get frustrated that I didn't do anything on my day off. Weight was up a bit, but within the regular fluctuations. I worked on a script for the store story video for this week. But did seem to spend a lot of time just kind of sitting around. I'm trying to convince myself that sitting around on a day off isn't a bad thing. I...

I didn't get either of the uploads done. I had plenty of time before work as I worked 12p to 9pm on Sunday. After work I did have a bit of time, but turns out that listening to a video of Hearts of Space isn't conductive to get anything done after running around for 9 hours. I closed the Service Desk last night, I was feeling good when I left work as all of the closing reports came out balanced. All of the registers were working. The people working weren't exactly the smartest people, but they were pretty street smart kinds of people. But then I got a call at 5am from Assistant Custome...

Weight: 306.7 lbs ( 139.1 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Airport Steakhouse Lunch Buffet Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Monster, Seltzer, Sparkling Water, Dt Dr Pepper Sober Year 1 (Day 506) Keto Month 2 (Day 69) (119/365 Days 2026 Keto) Phone battery was dead this morning which was odd as I'm pretty sure that I had charged it to full yesterday afternoon. But since it takes 3 hours to charge I didn't have the time to record the part of the weekly weigh in where I actually step on the scale. Of course the phone doesn't have to be charged to 100% to record a video, but it was only up to 20% by the time I left with Mom to go to Church. Step-Dad cooked us all breakfast, but I didn't have time to have any coffee. I don't typically go to church, but as I was scheduled to be off today and it was Mothers Day I decided to go to church with Mom and Grandma. On the way to church Mom stopped by Walmart (...

Weight: 306.8 lbs ( 139.2 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Powerade Zero Strawberry Sober Year 1 (Day 480) Keto Month 1 (Day 44) (88/365 Days 2026 Keto) (Huh, lots of fours in today's numbers) Impressively the chicken that was in the fridge was still frozen so I just grabbed some hot dogs that were in the fridge. When writing that out I always triple check that I'm calling them the right thing as Member's Mark is a Sam's Club brand (not sponsored) and Maker's Mark is a brand of whiskey (not sponsored). Not great for a sobriety blog if I'm making posts saying that I'm having whiskey hot dogs for lunch. I'm off tomorrow so I'll go ahead and bake one batch of chicken tomorrow for lunch. I'll be off all day so I'll have the time to bake it. The other day I ...

I don't know, perhaps I'm just getting used to the taste. The chicken in the fridge was still frozen this morning. So it's good that the fridge is working, but frustrating to spend money on lunch when I have lunch in the fridge at home. But hey, this is the best financially that I've ever been at least I can afford to have lunch at work. I just need to keep myself from getting the idea that I can just buy as muc...
