Weight: 303.4 lbs ( 137.6 kg) BMI: 39.0 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.8% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Hormel Pork Loin Mesquite BBQ, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy Sober Year 1 (Day 590) Keto Month 5 (Day 156) (201/365 Days 2026 Keto) Spent the last couple of days redoing the numbers on the Keto Count I noticed something a bit odd about the numbers. I know that it isn't extremely important to keep 100% right. But it is something that I'm tracking so might as well keep it on track. Had a hard time falling asleep last night. I think I had too many energy drinks yesterday. I did wake up alright this morning though. It was really peaceful this morning while I had the bacon and eggs. I figured that tomorrow (Tuesday) I'll finally have to go to the DMV and the Tag office to go ahead and update my address on those. If I gave a reason it would be a lie. But on the Credit Card ap...

Weight: 308.5 lbs ( 139.9 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% (nice) Breakfast: Sausage Patties and Eggs Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 534) Keto Month 3 (Day 97) (147/365 Days 2026 Keto) A bit down for today, annoyed that the weight jumps up but crawls down. It is good that the waist is down. It's been a while since it was that far down. I'm pretty sure that 51 inches is the record. I worked 12 to 9 today so I had some extra time before work. When I woke up Step-Dad was already cooking sausage and eggs for breakfast. And as I was sitting around before work I started on the script for the next Store Story. These weekly scripted videos are going to be a serious grind. Props to the people who are able to get that done. But then again a good number of people who are successful on YouTube have massive teams behind them and I'm kind of a One-Man-Band. As I worked later th...

Weight: 308.4 lbs ( 139.9 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Kroger BBQ Pork Rinds Dinner: Mixed Nuts Drinks: Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 489) Keto Month 1 (Day 52) (96/365 Days 2026 Keto) Did fall asleep pretty good last night. Had a bit of a hard time getting up this morning as I was just so comfortable. I did have an argument with myself because it is my day off, but if I lay in bed all day I'll get frustrated that I didn't do anything when I was off of work. I was slow getting up and going around. It was about the usual 8am by the time I got out of the bedroom, but was still slow getting around. By the time I got up and going it was kind of late to get coffee. I did get the laundry done today. Which is a bit quicker now that I'm doing it weekly instead of monthly. I also managed to take the inventory of the meat I have in the garag...

Weight: 307.8 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Spicy Peanuts Lunch: Hormel Pork Loin Lemon Garlic Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 487) Keto Month 1 (Day 50) (94/365 Days 2026 Keto) Slept better last night...once I fell asleep. A little annoyed by the scale. Yesterday was up 0.1 lbs, today is down 0.1 lbs. Kinda makes you wonder the point. A “stall” is four weeks to several months. It was nice when the weight was dropping quickly, not sure if that stage is over for a bit. Who knows perhaps that time when it was dropping like crazy was the easy part and now is when Dr Berry's “Vitamin P” comes into play. Step-Dad was nice enough to cook breakfast this morning. Was surprised to see that all of the eggs were double yolked. Going to buy a lottery ticket. Trying to think of things to do before I go to work. But really couldn'...

Weight: 307.9 lbs ( 139.7 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Peanuts Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Snack: Peanuts Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 486) Keto Month 1 (Day 49) (93/365 Days 2026 Keto) Had a hard time falling asleep again last night. Brain and body just weren't as tired as my mind. Weight is up, but not going to worry too much about 0.1 lbs Baked a pork loin before work for lunch. That might be two lunches in that lunchbox. Mom offered to take a pork steak out of the freezer for me. She said that she and Step-Dad will be done eating long before I get home so I can grill it myself. I was a bit annoyed by my phone as it wasn't perfectly on the charge plate last night so when I woke up this at 7am morning it was only 45% charged. When I put it on the charge plate it said that it'd take just over three to charge....

Weight: 307.8 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Pork Steak Snack: Cashews Dinner: Crust-less Turkey Pot Pie Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 485) Keto Month 1 (Day 48) (92/365 Days 2026 Keto) Up this morning, but only up to what it was a couple of days ago. Still down 13.7 pounds for the year. Busy this morning helping Mom putting things away since the floor is all done. I was able bake a pork steak for lunch before work. Was a really running day today. There was a forecast of possible storms coming through today so everybody freaked out and ran to the store. I heard that a really good line of storms developed south of town. Mom said that Wichita got hit pretty hard. But as for our town it was just some dark clouds that developed and moved through. I do have to say that the weather that we got here was absolutely beautiful. It w...

Weight: 307.8 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Member's Mark Sparkling Water Sober Year 1 (Day 482) Keto Month 1 (Day 46) (90/365 Days 2026 Keto) Nice down on the scale today. Armpits haven't been stinging like they were a couple of days ago. But the front of my nose is strangely red. It doesn't feel burnt or sting or anything. It's just I'm going around like Rudolf Kept pretty busy today. I opened and moved the boxes of flooring titles for the guy installing the floor. Finally did get around to grabbing a drink from the garage during lunch. Again being careful to make sure I call it the right thing as “Member's Mark” is the name of the brand of the sparkling water. And “Maker's Mark” is a brand of whiskey. It does make for an interesting idea of “Sparkling Whiskey” That make ...
