Weight: 334 lbs ( 151.5 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Broccoli Soup Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Month 4 (Day 150) Keto Day 6 Had a hard time falling asleep last night. I just didn't want to go to bed. I was feeling kind of frustrated with the feeling of go to bed, wake up, go to work, go to bed, wake up, go to work, feeling of a loop. And the chili from last night was messing with my stomach and it was kind of cranky for most of the day. Coffee tasted a bit odd this morning. Kind of sour bitter. I'm not sure what's going on there. This container of coffee that I bought recently was the little baggie of coffee and not the can that I usually buy and I had left it open sitting next to the coffee pot so maybe it's going bad? It says to keep in the fridge, but I hadn't kept any other coffees in the fridge. But the other coffees had a lid that I could close an...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Broccoli Soup Dinner: Pork Loin Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Keto Month 1 (Day 36) Sober Month 4 (Day 130) Had a slight moment of euphoria this morning when I weighed in and the weight this morning was below the short target. But it faded as I had to get ready for work. At least I had time to make breakfast. I could feel the good mood deflate as I drove to work. After I clocked in I stopped in the restroom real quick, and the belt buckle snapped off. So that put me into a great mood. The jeans that I was wearing fit enough that they weren't immediately dropping off, but I had to keep adjusting them the entire first half of the day. And naturally I was working a 5:3 split today, so I had to work five hours before lunch. I ran home for lunch and grabbed the old belt that was stretched out to hell and back. The old belt is so stretched out tha...

Weight: 335.2 lbs ( 152 kg) BMI: 43 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Pork Steak and Eggs Lunch: Broccoli Soup Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Week 3 (Day 22) Sober Month 3 (Day 116) YMCA: No Good drop in weight. Resetting back to a couple of days ago. So back to making progress for the month. Feet really hurt this morning. They stopped hurting as I got up and moving around. As I was leaving for work (dressed, so I know it wasn't a dream) I noticed that the windows were down a bit. I hurriedly thought if it had rained last night. I don't think that it did. I'm sure that I had just left them down a bit because of the great weather we've been having the last couple of days. On the way to work I am starting to wonder if the sensor on the traffic light is working or not. I was sitting at the light for quite a while and it only turned green when a car came from the other way. ...

Weight: 341.0 lbs ( 154.7 kg) BMI: 43.8 Waist: 57.5 in (146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Broccoli Soup Dinner: Bone In Strip Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Powerade Zero Orange, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot Keto Week 2 (Day 18) Sober Month 2 (Day 79) Woke up with a bit of a headache. And when I sat up it felt like my head was wobbling, I'm guessing it's allergies. I love spring, but spring does have an effect on my sinuses.  I was excited when I checked my bank account this morning because Roommate's half of the rent that he pays me through PayPal had came through. It is fun that the Rent Check will come in later next week and I'll still have money in my savings accounts.   Weight and Waist are both up to a frustrating level. I get that there are daily fluctuations but being up 4.2 lbs up for the day wipes out the progress for the month. Same with the waist being up 1.5 inches. I'm still down 5.7 lbs and 1 inch for...

Weight: 348.2 lbs ( 157.9 kg) BMI: 44.7 Waist: 59 in (149.9 cm) WtHr: 79.7% Breakfast: Strip Steak and Eggs Lunch: Cheesy Broccoli Soup Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Cup of Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Celsius Energy Mango Lemonade Keto Day 2 Sober Month 1 (Day 57) It is a bit disturbing that in the two days that I didn't stick to the diet I was up 3.6 lbs (1.6 kg) sure there are daily fluctuations, and when I was doing good on the diet there were ups and downs, but not the ups that I've had this week. Kind of reminds me of the idea that the only way that a diet will work is if you treat it more than just a “diet” it should be a “lifestyle” It is interesting that over the last couple of days the “Body Composition Scan” on my watch has marked a notable increase in “Body Water” I'm not sure how much to trust this scan as it is just a watch scanning my wrist and the two fingers on the other hand. I think that it supposedly sends a pulse through my torso ...

Weight: 346.2 lbs ( 157 kg) BMI: 44.4 Waist: 58 in (147.3 cm) WtHr: 78.4% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Broccoli Soup Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Kroger Energy Shot, Sugar Free Red Bull, Monster Zero Ultra, Arizona Dt Lemonade Tea, Cayman Jack Margarita Sober Week 4 (Day 28) YMCA: X Woot, new record on days sober. Roommate did offer me a Cayman Jack Margarita, and I did accept. But I wont consider it breaking the streak. Because it's not like I'm drunk after one small can. Now if I were to go buy a case tomorrow and drink that, and then the next day, and then the next day. Yeah that's when I'm back in trouble. He tried to give me some advice on drinking, insisting that if I just moderate the drinking it won't be a problem. But he doesn't seem to understand I CAN NOT moderate. If I buy a case of beer I WILL BE drinking the entire thing. He said that if I just stopped when I felt the buzz it'll be fine. But that's the problem, I wont stop when I...
