Weight: 343.4 lbs ( 155.7 kg) BMI: 44.1 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Garlic Melody Pork Chops Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Keto Week 1 (Day 8) Sober Month 2 (Day 69) nice Pretty nice number of days sober. Roommate had a couple of doctor's appointments this morning. He's a bit nervous about his FMLA and Insurance continuing. He's not that worried about his job because he's planning on quitting anyway. But he'd prefer to wait until his medical stuff is paid for, but that's his plan. The thing I'm nervous about is every time he goes to the doctor they extend the estimated time he's going back to work. When he came home in December, he'd just be home until the end of January, oh wait, the middle of February, or the middle of March, now he'll “totally” be back to work by the beginning of April. Or is it going to be August. (Joke) I cooked bacon and eggs for br...

It didn't take much of the shortening to cover my hands. I wonder if I bought too much. There was only one size of can, but it only took a couple of fingertips full to cover the entirety of my hands. It was a bit distracting to have my hands inside of socks. And I probably shouldn't have used the socks that I wore yesterday. There was a smell, but the crustiness was more distracting. The warmth on my hands was nice though. When I woke up this morning the hands had kind of stiff skin on the back of them, but they didn't hurt. I'll continue the experiment to see if it helps. But I'll p...

I am so ready for spring, it's not even funny. They are talking about more snow this weekend. It did warm up a little later in the afternoon, but that wind was going bananas all day long. I slept with the latex gloves on. The hands still look rough, but at least the skin doesn't hurt. The sleep tracker app is saying that I didn't fall asleep until 2:45, which is a bit of a surprise as I didn't think that I had a hard time falling asleep. And I did wake up really easily this morning and I felt well rested at 7:30. Roommate asked me if the smell of weed had woke me up as he could smell it coming through the wall. I personally didn't smell i...

Weight: 343.4 lbs ( 155.7 kg) BMI: 44.1 Waist: 57 in (149.9 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 3 Sober Month 1 (Day 58) Last night when I went to bed I felt strangely hungry. I had just ate a pretty good sized Pork Steak. That's all I had, but I was satisfied after dinner. But a couple of hours later my stomach was kind of rumbly Today started off AMAZINGLY I woke up and today was down 4.8 lbs (2.1 kg) waist is down 2in (5 cm) and the Rent and Grocery Checks came through on the same day that the Pay Check came in. I'm always holding my breath for the week or two it takes for the Rent Check to come through. So it is always a massive relief when it comes in. The challenge for today is not to spend any money. And I made it through the day without spending anything. This is one of my goals. Sure I didn't spend as much on soda as I did on beer, b...

Weight: 343.8 lbs ( 155.9 kg) BMI: 44.1 Waist: 57.5 in (147.3 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Rib-eye and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Bratwurst Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Keto Week 1 (Day 9) Sober Month 1 (Day 48) Last night I had baked two steaks, but Roommate was too drunk to eat his steak. So I had that steak with my eggs this morning as he went to a doctors appointment. It was a very Ketogenic meal, but not sure if it was a very hygienic meal. The steak was left out all night and I reheated it in the cast iron skillet that had leftover bacon grease in it that had also been sitting out. So I had a leftover rib eye reheated in bacon grease and fried some eggs in the drippings. Very, very Keto friendly, but all of that meat was left out. So very...um Probiotic? Got around to messing with the printers again. The big one still has a stripped screw. I'm trying the super glue method again, but waiting for longer for the glue to set in the screw head before trying to ...

This is not going to be a very long post I was a shambling zombie the entire day. People kept asking me if I was sick. I don't feel sick, I am just so damned tired. A coworker suggested that if I'm jumping back into the Keto diet my blood sugar might be getting really low. If this continues I'll have to try to bring this up with the doctor when I get my appointment in a couple of weeks. I got an email from the clinic saying that I have a secure message on their “Patient Portal” but that site seems to be having issues this evening. I'm really praying that the energy issues that I've had today isn't an indication of di...

Weight: 343.4 lbs (155.8 kg) BMI: 44.1 Waist: 57.0 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: 4x Nathans Colossal Hot Dogs with mustard Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Coffee with cream, Kroger energy shot, 1800ml water Days Without Beer 4 Another day when I woke up well rested, but the urge to get out of bed was really low. The first alarm went off at 6am and if I had a bit more drive I could have gotten up then. But the question of “Get up and do what?” didn't have an answer. I really do need to find an answer for this question. Maybe getting up and getting some exercise or something. Maybe learn to do some stretches. Because as it is alarms go off at six in the morning and I end up going back to sleep because bed is really comfy and I don't have any reasons to get up in the morning. I did get out of bed a lot earlier than I normally do. 7:45 compared to the usual nine or so. But thinking about it that might just be because of the recent daylight savings time c...

Weight: 343.6 lbs (155.9 kg) BMI: 44.1 Waist: 57 in ( 144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: X Lunch: Hot Dogs Dinner: Mac and cheese Pork Steak Drinks: Cup of coffee, a couple glasses of water    Excited that I got the second weigh in video done in a row. I really do want this to be a weekly series, but I just can't seem to get around to doing it. Weekly Weigh Ins really aren't that hard, it's just a matter of getting out of bed before I have to get running for work.      It looks like the two nights that I ate spaghetti led to quite a bit of weight increase three and half pounds in two days as apposed to the loss of an average of nearly a pound per day for must of the days this week so naturally I picked up a box of mac and cheese on the way home this evening.      The plan this evening was going to be cook dinner proper; a pork steak, and an impromptu box of mac and cheese that I decided to pick up for no reason, and while those cook I was g...

Weight: 343.2 lbs (155.7 kg) Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) BMI: 44.1 Breakfast: (X) Slept in and didn't get breakfast done. I did manage to get a weight in video recorded Lunch: 4 piece Baked Chicken some left over diet Pepsi Dinner: Spaghetti (I know it's not Keto, I'm just cleaning out my cabinet, I'm going to get a meal plan together tomorrow morning) 1.25 L diet Pepsi I love when the first of the month is a Sunday. It makes for a good excuse to get back into what you want to be doing. It just kind of makes since to have the first day of the month, the first day of the week, and the first day back on the diet. Got a weigh in video doe and uploaded. It would be nice to get in the habit of getting videos done. I love the feeling of uploading and getting videos done. I feel that I should be saying more, but I can't think of anything to say. And far too many people talk without having much to say. And I am tired, so I'm going to go to bed. ...
