Weight: 311.5 lbs ( 141.3 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Cashews Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Snack: Cashews Dinner: Bone-In Rib Eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy, Powerade Sober Year 1 (Day 563) Keto Month 4 (Day 123) (173/365 Days 2026 Keto) Power blinked again when I started writing this out, this is strange that this is happening all of the sudden. I hope that it isn't related to the storms that have been coming through lately. And when the power came back up it sounded like a big bunch of fireworks went off. Or at least I hope it was fireworks. :/ The radar was clear and the forecast doesn't show any storms for the next several hours. Trying to not let today's weight effect me too much. But that is a bit of a blow to the morale to be back up to Morbidly Obese. Back of my heels really felt the increase in weight. I did have to ...

Weight: 311.6 lbs ( 141.3 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Sausage Patties and Eggs Lunch: Rib-Eye Steak Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 543) Keto Month 3 (Day 106) (156/365 Days 2026 Keto) Kind of had a hard time building momentum this morning. Just kind of laid in bed for an extra hour, kept telling myself that I needed to get up and get going. I just was kind of lazy this morning. Annoyed that the BMI is still above the “Morbidly Obese” level. Today I wore another one of the new pairs of pants that I had ordered last week. These are pretty conformable as well. They are a lot quieter than the “Tactical Police Pants” I was glad to note that these pant's phone pocket was able to hold my phone as previous pairs of pants the phone pocket was too small for my phone. It was kind of funny on the “tactical pants” there was a warning that you are “required to remove packaging to wear ...

Weight: 311.7 lbs ( 141.4 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Pork Steak, Cottage Cheese Snack: Cashews Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 542) Keto Month 3 (Day 105) (155/365 Days 2026 Keto) Happiness is not a number on the scale, but it is irritating to be back up to “Morbidly Obese” That does seem to be a pattern the day after I eat a Ham Steak. I speculate that the salt in the ham makes me retain water so I will probably be peeing all day long today. Worked 12 to 8 today so I had plenty of time to cook bacon and eggs for breakfast and bake the pork steak for lunch. I really didn't do much else before work other than wait and count down to the time I had to go to work. I had forgotten that I was going to do Monday weekly weigh in videos until that I had already started eating breakfast. Maybe I'll get one done next week. I wor...

Weight: 311.2 lbs ( 141.1 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Cashews Lunch: Cottage Cheese, Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Snack: Pickle Chips Dinner: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 517) Keto Month 2 (Day 80) (130/365 Days 2026 Keto) Really annoyed that BMI is back up to Morbidly Obese. I thought I had beaten that goal. Happiness isn't a number on the scale, but progress is a great motivator. I didn't get the post done last night as I closed the service desk and it was close to 10 by the time I got home and after baking a pork loin it would have just been a “Mark Whines About Work” Post. And I worked earlier today than I normally do so I was trying to get to bed. It was still well after midnight by the time I fell asleep. Which sucked because I had set my alarms for the six o'clock hour. I worked 9 to 6 today and ...

Weight: 311.8 lbs ( 141.4 kg) BMI: 40.0 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Snack: Cashews Lunch: Italian Sausage Spinach Soup Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Apple Cider Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 463) Keto Week 3 (Day 26) (70/365 Days 2026 Keto) Started the day with a burst of excitement as this was the fourth month in a row that I was able to pay all of the months bills before the month starts. I paid the natural gas bill yesterday as the payment usually comes in the next businesses day, but that payment hasn't landed for some reason. I'm sure that it'll be here tomorrow or at least by Monday. But no matter all of the bills are paid before the month starts and all of my accounts are above the minimum balance. It would be nice if the balances were a bit higher, but I'm not in a position to complain. A little annoyed by the scale this morning. Two days ago was the first day in almost 11 years that I was und...
