Weight: 327.0 lbs ( 148.3 kg) BMI: 42.0 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cabbage Soup Dinner: Hamburger Helper Lasagna with Mozzarella and Parmesan Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Kroger Energy Shot, Powerade Zero Orange Sober Month 10 (Day 325)  I just could not get to sleep last night (Friday to Saturday) I was dead tired at the computer, but when I went to bed I felt like my eyes were bugging out of my head and I was wired for sound. Although I didn't sleep very well I was able to get up early enough to have breakfast and coffee. I was kind of worried that I would be able to do so. When I first go to work I was just dead tired but it was too busy to sneak away to get the Sugar Free Red Bull that I would normally drink at work (not sponsored) I was able to sneak in an energy shot. Those are technically cheaper than the energy drinks, but you get more out of the drinks than the shots. It is a small miracle that the...

Weight: 327.4 lbs ( 148.5 kg) BMI: 42 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: X Dinner: Grandma's Roasted Chicken, Stuffing, Creamed Corn, Chocolate Pudding Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Root Beer Sober Month 10 (Day 281) Keto Day 0 With the Check Engine light being on I was a bit nervous taking Roommate to his doctor's appointment and going to do the shopping. Since O'Riley's (not sponsored) said that it was an issue with the transmission gears As I was doing the errands today I was staring at the tachometer and had the transmission temperature reading on the center console. I don't usually have that reading up so I wasn't sure what “right” was on the reading, but the animation of the thermometer didn't get much higher than about the middle and the tachometer seemed to be pretty stable as I was driving around. As usual for a Tuesday I did the grocery shopping right after I dropped ...

Weight: 326.8 lbs ( 148.2 kg) BMI: 42 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Strip steak and Eggs Lunch: KC Strip Steak Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Month 8 (Day 262) Keto Week 2 (Day 17) I did not sleep very well last night. I was just flopping around all night long. I do remember my alarm going off at 8am. I blinked and then woke up at 10am. Today's weight is a good weigh in as it is the lowest weight of the year so far. Since I slept in and had a hard time getting up and going I didn't have time to drink as much coffee as I normally would have. I had the strip steak and eggs. I didn't get a chance to cook the eggs as thoroughly as I normally would have. The flavor of easy cooked eggs are good, but they're harder to eat in a hurry. And all during the first half of the day at work I was just dead tired. There were some seriously busy moments, but there wa...

Weight: 327.2 lbs ( 148.4 kg) BMI: 42 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Pork Steak and Eggs Lunch: Cheeseburger Soup Dinner: Cheeseburger patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Gatorade Zero Orange  Sober Month 8 (Day 257) Keto Week 1 (Day 12) Roommate has a stomach bug, woke up several times over the night to hear him retching. When I woke up properly he had called me on the phone to have me bring him some bananas and trash bags, I'll admit when I saw that he was calling me I was kind of worried that he was about to say that he needed to go to the hospital. But no he just has a stomach bug. I wondered what he could have eaten to get sick as I did cook dinner last night. But then I remembered that he had ordered some Taco Bell for his lunch yesterday. Not saying that's the cause of his illness, but I will say that I'm not sick. It's kind of fun when the weight is down exactly one pound. Some of the p...

Weight: 327.0 lbs ( 148.3 kg) BMI: 42 Waist: 53 in (134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages Lunch: Stuffed Bell Pepper soup https://youtu.be/JA2XLNoM9_g Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster,Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 7 (Day 234) Keto Week 2 (Day 17) He-he 234 sober days. and yes I'll also chuckle when it gets to 345 Today's weight ties with the lowest record for this year. Which was Wednesday last week. And if I'm understanding the Labels that I'm putting on this post the 53 inch (134.6 cm) waistline might be the lowest measurement of that.  Sleep wasn't that great last night. I'm going to guess that has to do with the fact that I had a pot of coffee in the afternoon and over the evening I had a pitcher of unsweetened tea. I usually have the coffee in the morning with breakfast, but I was running around too much to have ...

The face wont turn on, the buttons don't seem to do anything, and it wont connect to the phone. But do you know what does work on it? The alarm -_- I'll be glad when this winter is over. It's never really bothered me before, but this cold is really starting to get annoying. It just keeps going. Oh well, I'm sure I'll be complaining about the heat soon enough Back down to last months' lowest weight. GOODBYE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS. Looking at the graph of the weight over the year is interesting though. Last month there was a real sharp downwards trend from the 18 th to the 25 th . And that's when I started buying diet sodas and from time to time buying beer. And it gradually climbed....

Weight: 327.2 lbs ( 148.4 kg) BMI: 42 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Leftover Ribs Lunch: Instant Pot Beef and Turnip Stew Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Couple cups of coffee, Tap water    Woke up with a bit of a Charley Horse this morning. It didn't hurt all that bad, it's just kind of an annoyance. Might need to uptake my salt intake. I'm really surprised that I still made progress this morning. Dinner last night was about a half a rack of St Louis ribs. So I was expecting to weigh in this morning with a half a rack of ribs sitting in my gut. But I guess that didn't matter. Wasn't able to finish the later half of the ribs this morning. The microwave turned the leftovers into leather. :( I can eat an entire rack of ribs in a single day, so I don't think I'll be wasting the other racks of ribs that I bought on the sale. I'll just have to eat those on my days off. But they're going to sit in my freezer in the meantime.      Pants ...
