I do have to say using those weight machines were very satisfying. It was also nice to hang out with Mom in an activity that she enjoys so much. It is somewhat of an entertaining thought that my mother is becoming a gym rat. I'm going to have to do some research on how lifting weights effect someone mentally. As I was leaving the gym I was feeling like I was drunk. But by the time I got to work I felt normal PHYSICALLY . But there was something going on with my mind and spirit. Because, WOW people were extra irritating today.  I'm going to make a really long, “Mark Whines About Work Blog” But these are just a few examples of what I had to deal with. These are kind

For the 2023 spreadsheet I had the wrong number for the BMI goal. It was only off by 2.3 so not a big change and for the 2024 Spreadsheet I was going to change the Waist to Height Ratio tracking to Waist to Hip Ratio, but I've been doing Waist to Height Ratio for so long I think changing what WtHR means would just cause confusion. It's kind of unfortunate that both Height and Hip both start with the letter “H” otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal. Oh well, that just changes a thing that I was going to change back to the thing that I was already doing. And I'm very grateful for the “Find/Replace” tool on Open Office it

Weight: 335.4 lbs ( 152.1 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 57 in ( 144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: X Lunch: Tuna Casserole Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: ~6300ml water Slept in a bit this morning. Good levels of mental energy, but my legs were telling me that I really should have spent more time yesterday sitting down. Didn't get up in time to get breakfast done. I was actually technically late for work. It was only 5 minutes, but you get a half of a point for logging in 5 or more minutes late. So a little more than annoying that it rolled over the 5 minute mark as I was logging in. So if that lady wasn't blocking the door to the back room, or if the hallway to the break room was a couple of feet shorter I wouldn't have been late. Oh well, I don't think that I have enough tardy points to get worried just yet. I think you have to get 12 points before they fire you. And somehow I don't think I personally am going to get fired because I'm 5 minutes late from time to time. I

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Pizza soup Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: 3600ml water, 2x Kroger energy shots    Another smooth wake up this morning. But I did at least get one pan cleaned to have some bacon and eggs. I didn't get the General Update blog done. I just couldn't think of anything to say.      I seriously can't think of anything to say. Today was a very bland day. Nothing really happened. Sure it was kind of busy in the store, but it was the first Monday of the month it's kind of supposed to be. Today's weight is up. A little concerned about that, but weight fluctuates daily that's kind of why everybody is against a daily weigh in.      I think I'll just leave it. Forcing yourself to say something when there's nothing to say is a really good way to say something stupid. And I'm too smart to say something stupid. Hopefully I'll be more creative tomorr

Weight: 335.4 lbs ( 152.1 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Cottage cheese with ranch, salt, and pepper Dinner: Velveeta Cheeseburger Skillet Dinner Drinks: Cup of coffee with cream, 2x Kroger energy shots, 2L Big K Caffeine free Diet Cola      Today was a very clumsy day. It seemed like everything I touched I was knocking something else over. Every thing I typed out was misspelled or worded wrong or said it in the right way. Brain and body is just kind of floppy today. I have a guess that it has something to do with how much stress I had this last week at work.      I did take the time to do a Weekly Weigh In video. When I was making it I wasn't very confident that I had made a very good video. But when I got home this evening and looked over it again it doesn't seem that bad. But this afternoon when I was uploading it I had a hard time getting set up like it should be, tags attached, correct play lists etc. But I'

It's really important to get that thing done before I get ready for work. Whatever I do I need to get that one thing done before I leave. I have no idea what that thing is. I just can't shake the feeling that there's something important that I need to be doing.      Yesterday I was enjoying the weather and opened up the windows and turned off the heater. When I went to bed last night I forgot to close the windows so it was a bit chilly in the house this morning. It smelled really nice, a fog had rolled in last night so there was a very spring smell throughout the house. I thought about closing the windows and turning the heater back on, but the fresh air was nice. I act

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 55 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Mac and Cheese with Corned beef brisket Dinner: Taco Salad Drinks: Pot of coffee      Woke up later than I want to today. I'm still guessing that Daylight savings time is throwing me off. It really did mess me up yesterday. It was about noon before I even got breakfast done. And even though I set up the slow cooker for the corned beef it was almost midnight before it was done so I had some of the mac and cheese that I had bought the other day (Had a coupon and you have to buy the stuff you have a coupon for right?)      Today I did start off on my diet pretty good with the Bacon and eggs. I had a late lunch because even though it was four almost five in the afternoon it still felt like early in the morning. Lunch today was the corned beef brisket that I had in the slow cooker yesterday. I set up the slow cooker yesterday because the corned beef was on sale so I had p

Weight: 335.6 lbs ( kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in ( cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Beddar with cheddar sausages with ranch dressing Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks:2 L Mtn Dew, Kroger Energy shot      Not going to say much in today's blog. I spent the last day or two working on a script for a Store Story video so I'm using up all of the writing creativity in that script.      I drank the Mt Dew this morning because it was what I bought the other day when my roommate gave me some money to get some burgers and chips. I was going to take it back to the store and switch it out for some diet mt dew, but I just drank it this morning. Because, meh, why not? Well, other than the crap ton of sugar and other chemicals in regular mtn dew.      For lunch I picked up a pack of Johnsonville Beddar with cheddar sausages. I picked those up because I wanted some cheese and ranch dressing, but I forgot how much those taste like plastic and I was out of mustard

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Village Inn Chicken Fried Steak, eggs, Biscuits and Gravy, hash-browns Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages, Sparkling Water Dinner: Hamburger patties, Chips Drinks: 2L Pepsi Wild Cherry Zero      Today was the last day the roommate was in town and I had to pick him up from him dropping off the truck he was renting. He suggested that we go to Village Inn for breakfast. And all of the way from the rental place to the restaurant I was thinking I just need to order off of the Al Le Carte section of the menu. But when we got there I chickened out from ordering anything fancy. And it's been quite some time since I've had a chicken fried steak. The waitress asked me if I wanted pancakes or biscuits and gravy. And it's been a REALLY long time since I've had “Shit on a shingle” And those were really good buttermilk biscuits (still crappy hash-browns) so breakfast was not Keto,
