Weight: 307.3 lbs ( 139.4 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: Members Mark Hot Dogs and Green Beans Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Salted Coffee, Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 490) Keto Month 1 (Day 53) (97/365 Days 2026 Keto) Tried to go to bed on time last night, but again brain just wasn't tired. Sitting at the computer I can't even keep my eyes open, but when I go to bed my brain is doing jumping jacks and back flips. Waking up this morning I think I figured out why they call that breed of dog a “shit zu” Mom's little dog Shelby was just yapping her little head off. I hadn't fallen asleep until 2:30, but there goes Shelby yapping around at around 7:45.  Good loss on the scale. The tape measure seems to have gone missing, but that number doesn't change much so I'll just assume that it's the same as yesterday's. Spent the day at the computer. Having another day where I...

Weight: 307.8 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Spicy Peanuts Lunch: Hormel Pork Loin Lemon Garlic Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 487) Keto Month 1 (Day 50) (94/365 Days 2026 Keto) Slept better last night...once I fell asleep. A little annoyed by the scale. Yesterday was up 0.1 lbs, today is down 0.1 lbs. Kinda makes you wonder the point. A “stall” is four weeks to several months. It was nice when the weight was dropping quickly, not sure if that stage is over for a bit. Who knows perhaps that time when it was dropping like crazy was the easy part and now is when Dr Berry's “Vitamin P” comes into play. Step-Dad was nice enough to cook breakfast this morning. Was surprised to see that all of the eggs were double yolked. Going to buy a lottery ticket. Trying to think of things to do before I go to work. But really couldn'...

Weight: 307.9 lbs ( 139.7 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Peanuts Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Snack: Peanuts Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 486) Keto Month 1 (Day 49) (93/365 Days 2026 Keto) Had a hard time falling asleep again last night. Brain and body just weren't as tired as my mind. Weight is up, but not going to worry too much about 0.1 lbs Baked a pork loin before work for lunch. That might be two lunches in that lunchbox. Mom offered to take a pork steak out of the freezer for me. She said that she and Step-Dad will be done eating long before I get home so I can grill it myself. I was a bit annoyed by my phone as it wasn't perfectly on the charge plate last night so when I woke up this at 7am morning it was only 45% charged. When I put it on the charge plate it said that it'd take just over three to charge....

Still down 13.7 pounds for the year. Busy this morning helping Mom putting things away since the floor is all done. I was able bake a pork steak for lunch before work. Was a really running day today. There was a forecast of possible storms coming through today so everybody freaked out and ran to the store. I heard that a really good line of storms developed south of town. Mom said that Wichita got hit pretty hard. But as for our town it was just some dark clouds that developed and moved through. I do have to say that the weather that we got here was absolutely beautiful. It w...

Weight: 307.8 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Member's Mark Sparkling Water Sober Year 1 (Day 482) Keto Month 1 (Day 46) (90/365 Days 2026 Keto) Nice down on the scale today. Armpits haven't been stinging like they were a couple of days ago. But the front of my nose is strangely red. It doesn't feel burnt or sting or anything. It's just I'm going around like Rudolf Kept pretty busy today. I opened and moved the boxes of flooring titles for the guy installing the floor. Finally did get around to grabbing a drink from the garage during lunch. Again being careful to make sure I call it the right thing as “Member's Mark” is the name of the brand of the sparkling water. And “Maker's Mark” is a brand of whiskey. It does make for an interesting idea of “Sparkling Whiskey” That make ...

Weight: 307.9 lbs ( 139.7 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Snack: Cashews Lunch: Pork Steak Snack: Cashews Dinner: Pork Steak with onions peppers and tomatoes Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 477) Keto Month 1 (Day 41) (85/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get the post done last night as I had opened a new savings account for “House Savings” and since I got off late last night I spent all night before bed re-balancing budgets and spreadsheets as I personally am not a member of congress so I can't just blame an opposing party for all of my financial problems. (That was a joke) Mom did tease me about staying in my room all of the time. “Mark you did move into the entire house, not just the bedroom” Well, that's just where the computer is. And it's not like I'm just staring at the wall. I am actually working on things. Not quite as much as I would have liked to have gotten done, but I do feel li...

I wasn't able to upload last night as it was a bit late already when I got home last night and I had yet to assemble my computer after the move. I slept considerably better last night than I did the night before. The night of Saturday going into Sunday I just couldn't fall asleep. I'm not sure what the issue was, new pillows? New bed? New Room? But I was flopping around without sleep. The bed is King Sized, but I kept finding the edge of the bed and had to keep pushing myself back from the edge and kept getting tangled up in the blanket. Slept better last night, but was still really tired. I'm guessing that I'm sti...
