But as I got up and moving they loosened up. My heels were still grumpy at me and I think that they will be with me until I get back under 330 lbs (149 kg). I think next week I'll pick up a pair of insoles to see if that helps with the foot pain. I'm glad that I have tomorrow off. I'm going to spend it here at my computer. Hopefully editing videos. But I might get into Minecraft and do that for a bit. A bit grumpy that my weight is up today compared to yesterday. It's only up 1.4 pounds, and I know that a daily weigh in will fluctuate, and I'm telling myself that I'm still down 4.6 pounds for the week and 3 pounds d

There is a wicked stench building up in my house that NEEDS to be taken care of. But I keep finding myself sitting here at the computer. I keep wanting to find some interesting videos to have some background noise while I clean the house. The problem is that I keep finding interesting videos to watch. Another frustration is that I'm doing the dishes...again. And I hope I don't just do the basic cleaning of the dishes, counter top, stove top, and call the cleaning done. I keep doing that. My home needs a deep clean, but I do the most basic of the dishes and then sit back down at the computer to stare at social media. I am starting to wonder if I have Adult ADHD.      At least it's nice enough outside to open up the windows again. That should help wi

And I thought it might be interesting to try meditation. And that was the last thing I remember from last night. I don't even remember going to bed. I'm not sure if that means that the meditation worked or if I just fell asleep. Or if that's a sign of meditation working.      I really should have closed the windows before going to bed last night because it was really freaking cold this morning. I'm pretty sure that it was 42 degrees (5.6 C) this morning when I woke up. That really got me woken up. But the feet and legs were really burning. Again once I got up and going the burning went away. The burning in my feet and ankles were rather disconcerting along with the weight tracking back upwards. I'

Had a bit of a hard time posting this post. Every time I tried to copy/paste into any browser everything froze up until I rebooted the entire computer. Strange. I hope that this isn't something wrong with my computer.  Weight: 333.2 lbs ( 151.1 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 56.5 in ( 143.5 cm) WtHr: 76.3% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Hot Dogs w/Mustard Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of coffee, ~4500ml Water      Had a bit of a hard time getting moving this morning. I did gain consciousness at around 7am, but it took me about an hour to get moving. The weather was a nice cool spring day and the windows were open and nobodies heaters or air conditioners were running and it was really nice and comfy. I live right next to the High School and it's nice when their climate control is off. It is just so quiet when it's not running.      First half of work went really quite smoothly. I was kind of nervous because I was going to be running self checkout for three hours and decide

Dude tripped over one of the wheel stop, parking block, curb stop? Whatever that thing is called. He insists he's fine, but I'm a bit concerned about his complaints about his chest and knee hurting. He's due to go back on the road on Monday (he's an over the road trucker) He'll see how he's doing Sunday evening to if he'll go back on the road.      Today was crazy busy at the store again. But it is the first Friday of the month right before a major holiday. (not that we get holiday pay for Easter or anything) It is kind of interesting that the people who get offended by saying “Happy Ho

I did run to the store to pick up some more also got some queso to go with the ribs I was baking.      One of the recipe videos that I've planed for this month had gone live today. I have three of the four recipes I want to upload this month pre-recorded, but I haven't gotten around to making more videos. I think that is my main struggle with becoming a professional YouTuber. I get a couple of videos done. And instead of using the headway of the three or four videos already done and just make more videos I just kind of sit around.      Today I was kind of sitting around thinking I was supposed to be doing things. But I really didn't do anything. I did manage to get one of the recipe videos that I have pre-recorded

It is a quicker recipe than most slow cooker recipes, but it was still a three hour recipe that I started around 9 o'clock. I didn't do any of the editing on it, but I still couldn't just go to bed after recording a video. Sleep would just not happen. So I ended up sleeping a bit too long.      Was able to get breakfast cooked and eaten. Would have had a bit more coffee drank this morning if I would have remembered to put water in the coffee maker when I first turned it on. I'm glad that I noticed that it wasn't making coffee before I ended up

I'm pretty sure that it was close to 4am before I got to sleep. The three energy shots yesterday was probably to blame. I was going to try to get the 3D printers working, but it was almost noon before I even got out of bed. And I do realize that it is a strange complaint to sleep in until noon. But that really kinds of messes up your day. I did realize that I did a carnivore day as I set up the slow cooker. I did kick myself for running to the store to pick up some more bratwursts and bacon. I really didn't need to spend more money today. I have two 3D printers one I call Big Guy, and the other I call little bro. Big guy is the bigger of the printers it is a Creality Cr10s printer it has a build volume of 500mm cu

I had a lot of alarms set for the 5am hour, but just rolled through them And I did get breakfast done as well. Which was nice. There's been a couple of weeks where I've had to decide between breakfast and weigh in video. LOL That makes it sound dramatic, but I am proud that I have yet to skip out on a weigh in video this year so far.      Today was first day back from PTO, can't really call it “Vacation” I didn't go anywhere. The first day back is always a day that takes a lot of self control. With how I have to repeat myself, repeat myself, repeat myself. And deal with people that can't seem to see the very obvious solutions right in front of their damn

Weight: 333.4 lbs ( 151.2 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Too Busy Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of Coffee, ~2700ml water Sure, this isn't the 400th daily blog post, but it's the 400th post on this blog. Kind of feeling proud about that. Waking up was strange this morning. It was a very smooth wake up. A smooth wake up at 5am. I do want to start waking up earlier in the day so a 5am wake up is fine for me, but still...strange I just DON'T wake up at 5 in the freaking morning. What was really strange was that I just kind of regained consciousness. It is hard to describe, maybe I'm just used to be awoken by alarm settings on my watch or phone. It was really kind of nice to have the quiet wake up. It was kind of frustrating that it still took me another four or five hours before I could get up and doing anything.      Made a meal plan for next week. And took the opportunity to thaw out the ice buildup in the

I hear a lot of people online to not to do a daily weigh in because whenever it is up you'll drive yourself mad trying to figure out the reason that it is up. I'm going to guess that the reason is that I'm still processing the case of beer that I drank on Tuesday. But I'm trying to take the couple of days of ups too seriously, I don't plan on drinking any more beer, and I've made a lot of progress this year. So if I get bummed out by the day to day weigh in I'll look at the spreadsheet of the whole year. (I have a lot of spreadsheets) But looking at the spreadsheet for the year Feb
