It was strange. I was feeling really good all day long, but as soon as the sun went down I had a MASSIVE wave of “don't give a damn.” Hard to describe it as anything else. I think that it might have been because I spent the entire day sitting here at the computer playing Fallout: New Vegas. I managed to get to the YMCA yesterday, but after that I just sat here at the computer just sitting here. I think that broke my mood. It's just so strange for me to go to bed at 10:30pm I'm going to talk about financial stuff. I was a big hesitant at first, but then again 1. I usually only get about 15 views on each these posts, and 2. If anybody if thinking about stealing/sca...

But still there is a frustration in sleeping in so late. When I finally did get around to getting up I really didn't feel all that hungry. Dr Berry and other influencers suggest that you should only eat when only truly hungry. I'm not sure if that was because I had over eaten last night or because I just haven't discovered what it is to be truly hungry. But when I did get around to getting up I just didn't feel like eating anything. On the days that I do have to go to work I will have a breakfast before going to work, as I don't want to gamble with becoming “hangry” I ran by Mom's house to grab a c...

Weight: 333.8 lbs (151.4 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: leftover Fathead Lasagna Lunch: Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Kroger Seltzer Water Strawberry Lemonade, “”Cranberry Lime, Celsius Astro Vibe Energy Drink, Kroger Seltzer Original, “” Mango Sober Day 5 Definitely too much lasagna last night, but I'm not too worried about it. A daily blog isn't to look at the daily fluctuations Had some leftover Fathead Lasagna for breakfast, but it gave me some nasty burps for the first half of the day. I wonder if that's telling me that I should be avoiding dairy.  Legs and feet feel considerably better than they have been, but that might be because I had the last two days off. I did catch the corner of my thumbnail right before work. There's something about my thumbs as soon as there's a bit of nail they'll catch one of the corners leading me to have to trim the damn thing back to the pink Irritability was quite ...

UP FOUR TENTHS OF A POUND! My God what is the meaning of this!!!!!! Just kidding, I'm still down 3 lbs for the month and 9.2 lbs for the year. I'm not going to be too broken up about 4 ounces.  Roommate came in this morning. When he got in he asked to run by the store to get snack food for the week. I took the chance to fill up on Bratwursts, Chicken, and Seltzer Water. I also got the ingredients for some “Fathead” Lasagna. It was a rather expensive trip for just buying one recipe along with Bratwursts and Chicken. But then again, the freezer is getting rather full. It would be nice to have a large chest freezer, but I just don't have the room for it. Or at least I had assumed. But sa...

Still thinking that it's just water weight and daily fluctuations. But it's nice to be back under 330 Spent the morning trying to get the dishes done. Having a hard time getting momentum going. I feel considerably better mentally and emotionally, but I keep finding myself back sitting at the computer staring at YouTube. I keep telling myself that I'm just going to start a queue of interesting videos to have background noise while I'm doing housecleaning. The problem is that they're interesting videos. Trying to get house cleaned up because Roommate is coming home tomorrow and it wouldn't be fair to him to have him work for an entire month just to come in for home time and have him come home...

I wasn't paying attention to what the voice was saying because they started the session by saying, “Sit up straight in your chair, your head straight up, and let the stress of your day flow down. Let the stress of the day flow down into the part of the chair where your chair is touching your body” And I couldn't help but interpret that as, “Let the stress of the day flow down, let the stress of the day flow down, and out of your ass” The rest of the meditative session was lost to me because I couldn't help but to bust out laughing about the idea of forcing the daily stress out the ass. I think i...

Weight: 334.2 lbs ( 151.6 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73.0% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Couple cups of coffee with cream, Kroger energy shot, ~2700ml water,      Waist circumference was down today, but I'm not sure how much of that was losing belly fat, or how much of that was the gut just sagging. The weight was down pretty good today so I might just be being down on myself.      I was really hungry this morning so I cooked an extra slice of bacon. But it just made it so the bacon went cold before I was able to eat it all. I also didn't get it cooked crispy. It was cooked enough to have it so it wouldn't make me sick, but just not in the crispy form that I'd prefer.      I was going to leave my debit card at home, but I have seemed to have ran out of precooked meals. I keep thinking that I'm going to go online to look up some recipes, ...

Was kind of impressed that I was down from last week, but it was up 5 pounds from yesterday. I'm pretty sure that the up has to do with the clothes I wear for the videos. So I'm not too worried about the up today.      Was kind of annoyed when I got to work. I forgot my phone and my water bottle. But when I got to work there was a note on today's daily schedule saying that water bottles are not allowed at the registers. Technically this was always the case. But some of the managers looked the other way when someone had some water with them. But now they're cracking down on it. This is a bit annoying because I was getting my water drank because I had just b...

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: 327.6 lbs ( 148.6 kg) BMI: 42.1 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Southwest Style Chicken “Detox” Soup Dinner: Pork Steaks with ranch dressing Drinks: Pot of Coffee,~3600ml water      Grrr ½ pound (0.2 kg) away from the lowest weight so far this year. And that's just switching from diet soda and sparkling water to coffee and tap water. Oh and getting the hell away from beer. Even the “”Low Carb”” stuff. I think my body is getting used to the extra water that I'm drinking, or I got most of that water weight out. Woke up with a bit of a headache and stiff muscles this morning, but it went away as I got up and moving. Wondering if it's more “Keto Flu” or maybe time to invest in a new bedding. The box springs is kind of broken down. Or maybe it's because I'm 36 years old and that's just what mornings are like for someone in their mid 30's      Tried a new flavor of coffee, I usually buy the “Breakfast Blend” ...

About midnight last night the internet went out I have a payment agreement saying that my payment will go through on the 16 th . And when it went out right at midnight last night I was kind of paranoid that they didn't live up to their part of that payment agreement. But it's working just fine this morning. They must have had a network issue or something last night. It would suck to be so good on a daily blog, but only have to skip a day, or week, because the internet decided to crap out. I do have the blogger app on my phone, but copy and pasting from open office to the website is a hell of a lot easier than writing everything out again.      I'll be so glad when I get the tax return in. Once I get that in I plan...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Hot Dogs Dinner: Queso Soup Drinks: cup of Coffee, 12 pk Michelob Ultra Hard Seltzer      The weight being up 2/10ths of a pound ( 0.09 kg) isn't going to bother me too much it's not even enough to effect BMI. It was probably too much diet soda yesterday. I am excited that my waist measurement is down. I don't think I've had a 54 inch waist since 2018. This wasn't even "creative rounding" or anything. It really was right at 54 inches! And like 330 lbs (149.7 kg) 54 inches (137.2 cm) seems to be another hurdle that I struggle with. So if I can make progress on that it would be quite exciting. It is kind of interesting that 0.5 inches off of the waist is 0.6% off of the WtHr      Saw some weather forecasts for this weekend and people are pretty excited that the highs are going to be in the 60's ( >15 C) This weekend. I know that it's...

Weight: 330.4 (149.9 kg) Waist: 54 (137.2 cm) BMI: 41.3 Breakfast: Pot of Coffee Lunch: Deli Fried Chicken Dinner: Grilled Pork Steak with ranch dressing and shredded cheese Finally got around to doing a Sunday weigh in video. It was a bit of a roller coaster. Started off a bit frustrated that I haven't made a “weekly” weigh in video, but the coffee started kicking in and then I stated getting all hopeful. I talk a bit about my financial problems. I am going to get a fresh start loan tomorrow and I'm thinking of using this occasion for a bit of a “soft reboot” for my life. I keep thinking about what would have happened if it were more than just my phone breaking. I was able to upload a weight loss video didn't get around to uploading it until I got home from work. Grilled up a couple of pork steaks for dinner because I still haven't made a meal plan for the week. I don't work until late tomorrow afternoon and I slept a lot better last night...
