Weight: 327.6 lbs (147.7 kg) BMI: 42.1 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: 4x Bar-S Jumbo Jumbos Dinner: Queso Soup Drinks: Kroger Seltzer Original, Pot of Coffee Black, 12oz Sugar Free Monster Energy, Powerade Zero Orange, 2x Kroger Energy Shot, Couple cups of water Sober Day 6 It's kind of creepy to weigh the exact same as the day before. Was able to take inventory before work and got a meal plan together. The “Dinner” list looks kind of funny because it's just Rib-eyes over and over. But I didn't have room in my freezer for all of them. Didn't have time to defrost the freezer and wow there was a lot of ice built up. I'll try to defrost it after work. Noticed that I was out of Chili. I don't usually run out of chili, I usually have some variety of chili. Sometimes multiple varieties. I'm going to have to fix that but then again I might want to wait until the freezer is a little less full. I was almost late for work...

Physically well rested, but mind is tired. Hard to explain. Roommate went out back to the road today. I usually tease him about the rent money but I had to get to work. I'm just glad that I got through downtown before they closed Main Street. Apparently they're going to have a “Smallville Festival” downtown over the next couple of days. Roommate was very vocal about how much he hates everything to do with that. But then again listing things that he DOESN'T hate would be a considerably shorter list. I was kind of naughty for lunch. And bought some Jumbo Jumbo hot dogs. I'm sure that I ...

Weight: 325.6 lbs (147.7 kg) BMI: 41.8 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Chile Relleno Soup Dinner: Baked Bratwursts Drinks: Kroger Seltzer Original, Couple cups of Coffee Black, 12oz Sugar Free Monster Energy, 2x Powerade Zero Orange, 2x Kroger Energy Shot Sober Day 4 Woke up with a bit of a surprise in my bank account. For some reason I got paid today. I usually get paid on Thursdays It was close to the amount I was budgeting for. (it was a couple bucks more than I budgeted for, but overtime is hard to exactly calculate so I rounded down) I tried to log on to the site where my pay stubs get posted but the pay stubs haven't updated yet. They usually update Wednesday evenings. Also a nice surprise on the scale as well. Can't say if that's the 48 hour fast that I did the last couple of days, Keto diet, or daily fluctuations. But it's nice to be back under 330 lbs (150 kg) Roommate said that he had to have me run him around to do ...

Weight: 330.2 lbs (149.8 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Fast Lunch: Fast Dinner: Ribeye Drinks: Kroger Seltzer Original, Pot of Coffee Black, 12oz Sugar Free Monster Energy Sober Day 3 Very fascinating. When I woke up this morning I didn't feel hungry. Muscles felt weak and I had a hard time thinking about anything. Not that I couldn't actually think, it was more like I couldn't get one thought done before five or six other thoughts tried to jump in as well. Spelling has been hard over the last dauy our twe a swel  Had a kind of a chuckle when I stood on the scale this morning and I was back to the weight of a couple of days ago. Yes, I had beer, then fried chicken, starved myself for a couple of days, and that brought me back. But that's not a healthy idea to entertain. I'm not planning on doing 48 hour fasts very often. It was easier than I thought to do. But I don't believe that starving yourself very often is a sustainable i...

Weight: 330.0 lbs (149.7 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54.5 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: 4x Bar-s Jumbo Jumbos Dinner: Chuck Shoulder Roast with Mushroom Gravy Drinks: Kroger Seltzer Original, “” Mango, Pot of Coffee with Cream, Celsius Mango Passion Fruit Sober Day 6 Couldn't get to sleep last night. Was physically tired, but brain was doing cartwheels all night long. I've made an observation. It's nice to stand up in the morning and not feel like I've stood up onto knives. Looking up the parts of the foot, the part known as the lateral arch is usually rather cranky when I wake up in the morning. But the last couple of days it hasn't been so bad. A lot of times when I stand up for the first time I'm sitting right back down with a yell of pain. But last couple of days, I'm not exactly dancing around, but at least I'm not having to convince myself that I have to power though it to get to the bathroom. The other day when Roommate ...

Weight: 328.8lbs ( 149.1 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 54.5in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Cottage Cheese with salt and pepper Dinner: Deconstructed Pizza Casserole Drinks: Couple of cups of coffee, ~2800ml water      Woke up this morning with a doozy of a hangover. It is true what they say about the Keto diet and hangovers. And that was after drinking an entire 24 pack of Michelob. I wasn't queasy or anything but again I woke up tired and my head felt like it was exploding. Had weird popping feelings in my feet that did NOT feel good. If I ever get around to seeing a doctor I'm definitely going to have them look at my feet. I'm fairly confident that walking around this long with more than double my supposedly "ideal" weight has caused some issues that ignoring is just making worse.      I actually had two days off this week. The last couple of weeks I've only had one day off, it was nice to have two this week. It kind of a mixed ...

Weight: 330.2lbs ( 149.8 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54.5 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Ribs Dinner: Ribs Drinks: ¾ pot of Coffee, 24pk Michelob Ultra      Spent all morning waiting for the delivery of the smart watch that I ordered last week. The site said that it'd be delivered between 8am and noon. And I woke up about 10. (Stayed up quite a bit later than I should have last night.) So I spent the first couple of the hours of the day staring at the front door, singing The Marvelettes. At noon it still wasn't here I refreshed the package tracking site and it said that it'd be here between 11:45 and 12:45. So naturally it got here at 12:45, after me staring at the door some more. I don't know why I'm so eagerly waiting packages when they are due in, I'm sure it would have been fine sitting in the mail box. And it took several hours for the watch to charge the battery and to update the software on it anyway so I didn't have to hav...

Weight: 334.2 lbs ( 151.6 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Instant Pot Chili Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: 2x 5 hour energy shots      Didn't wake up in time to cook the pizza casserole, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. I'm really starting so see that spending my days off cooking is the thing to do. Last night was strange. I was just so damned wiped out after work I couldn't do anything. And that was even before I cooked the Velveeta dinner so I couldn't even blame it on the carbs in that.      I even woke up this morning tired. That might be the carbs from dinner last night, but I did stay up later than I should have. I had a hard time getting going this morning. Feet and legs did feel rough this morning. I even slept in too long to have any coffee. I did have a couple of energy shots over the day. I would NOT recommended the watermelon flavored one. That one was just nasty.  ...

Weight: 332.6lbs ( 150.9 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 54.5 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Instant Pot Beef stew Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of Coffee with cream, ~3,150ml Water    Woke up this morning with what felt like a bit of a hangover. No headache, jut stiff muscles and limbs. Not sure what that was about, possibly too much water yesterday? It was only a little less than a half gallon and men are supposed to be drinking a gallon per day. But one half of a gallon is a lot more than I usually drink. So might be body getting used to the extra water It might also be Keto Flu. I do know that I woke up several times last night to pee and had to pee all morning. So maybe the weight gain lately is water weight    Put so much thought into the monthly update Vlog that I can't really think of anything to say for the daily blog. So this might be fairly short. I am excited to get a second general update Vlog done in a row. I want to upload a V...

Weight: 333.8 lbs ( 151.4 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 54.5 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Fathead Lasagna Dinner: Mac and Cheese with chunks of pork Drinks: Coffee with cream, Kroger energy shot, 2x cans Natural ICE Beer      Waking up with a very dry mouth lately and it's kind of an interesting feeling taking the first drink of coffee. It kind of feels like my mouth and throat is dissolving, but in a good way. It's kind of like when cotton candy dissolving      Something strange is going on at the high school next door. It sounds like a jet engine is revving up. Maybe one of their industrial sized heaters was broken and they just turned it back on. But it kind of sounded like the building was about to take off.      Not sure what's going on with weight. Yeah, there's going to be daily fluctuations, but it's strange to be up 4 lbs (1.8 kg) in a single day. The weight is still down for the year, and lower than t...

Weight: 329.4 lbs ( 149.4 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 54.5 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Pork Steak Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of Coffee, several cans of Caffeine Free Diet Big K cola, and several cans of Big K Orange Zero      Had a really exciting moment when I first stood on my scale this morning. It was reading 325 ( 147.4 kg)! but the reader was flickering a lot. Losing 6lbs (2.7 kg) over night would be exciting, but it's more likely that there's something up with the scale. So I decided to check under the scale to make sure that it wasn't sitting on anything. Strangely enough there was a bit of a tortilla chip lodged in one of the feet of the scale. That would explain why the scale was acting strange. The real question is where the heck that chip came from. I haven't had nachos in months. Maybe God is telling me that I really need to get off my butt and get this house cleaned up. Without the mysterious chip the scale read as 329.4 (...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 54.5 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Beef and Turnip Stew Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Couple cups of Coffee with cream      Woke up this morning with a little bit of a headache. Not surprising considering yesterday's indulgence, but was kind of surprising was the fire in the feet and the stiff calf muscles. Kind of brought to mind what a coworker had told me when I was buying that Bud Light Next, he said that alcohol in itself is kind of a carb and it breaks down into sugar so a “Carb Free” alcohol is kind of impossible. This might need more research. I do know that Doc Berry is very instant that alcohol is just a poison and nobody needs to be drinking it, no matter what diet they're trying to do. So I don't know if the pain in the legs and feet are due to body dealing with some surprise carbs or dealing the poison of alcohol; maybe the pain in the feet and lower legs is because my body is focu...
