Weight: 341.2 lbs ( 154.7 kg) BMI: 43.8 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Cordon Bleu Soup Bar-S hot dogs Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 1 Sober Month 3 (Day 96) YMCA: No I legitimately cannot remember what happened today. It might be a short post as when I got home I did dishes, but some bratwursts in the oven and my brain went blank. I noticed that the weight is up quite a bit from yesterday. I'm not sure if that's because of the scale glitching like it has been doing. It did do that a bit when I first woke up, but it did finally give me a consistent number. Not a number that I like very much, but hey, that's the number that it is. And the waist line is up as well. But still under average.  Breakfast was steak and eggs. I had the pan a bit too warm so it got a bit smokey in the house this morning. Strangely the pan was too hot and smokey, but it still took a while to cook the ...

Weight: 336.2 lbs ( 152.5 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 58.5 in (148.6 cm) WtHr: 79.1% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cordon Bleu Soup Dinner: Flounder, American Blend Bagged Salad, Ranch Dressing Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot Keto Week 2 (Day 21) Sober Month 2 (Day 82) YMCA: No Had kind of a freaky moment last night. As I was going to bed I noticed a “sleep” mode on my watch. It made the watch face turn off, which I appreciated as it does randomly turn on which is distracting when I'm trying to fall asleep. But what was strange is that phone turned black and white. Had a bit of a hard time falling asleep last night. A memory of a frustrating customer popped into my mind and I was thinking of all of the things that I said to him, could have said to him, should have said to him, and the stuff I'm glad I didn't say to him. But the idea of him kept railing me up. I was tired, but I couldn't sleep because of the angry ideas go...

Weight: 344.2 lbs ( 156.1 kg) BMI: 44.2 Waist: 57.5 in (146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Strip Steak and Eggs Lunch: Cordon Bleu Soup and Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: BBQ Chuck Roast Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Powerade Zero Orange, Kroger Energy Shot, Keto Day 5 Sober Month 2 (Day 66) Yesterday when I said I was expecting a drop in weight this morning I was hoping for more than 0.6lbs (272 g) When I got up this morning my feet were really stiff and sore. Not sure what's going on there. They haven't been hurting much this week, but now they feel like I'm back to what it was like when I started the year.  I had steak and eggs for breakfast because I'm going to try to stretch out the bacon if I can.   My smartwatch has a feature that scans the Muscle/Fat/Water content of the body when I weigh in each morning. I wasn't sure how accurate the scan is because if I look at the things that it said my body contains the watch scan says I have 1...

Weight: 350.8 lbs ( 159.1 kg) BMI: 45 Waist: 58.5 in (148.6 cm) WtHr: 79.1% Breakfast: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Lunch: Cordon Bleu Soup Snack: Kroger Meat Sticks Dinner: Rib eye Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Sugar Free Red Bull, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot, Kroger Seltzer Sober Month 1 (Day 38) YMCA: X I'm a bit annoyed at Cox Communications. I try to pay all of my bills on the 4th Thursday of the month. But they don't release their statement until the 24th, today is the 23rd. So I'll have to wait until tomorrow to finish paying my bills.  Grrr.  Who I'm really annoyed with is Verizon. Every month since I got this phone back in September the bill had been $140.92 each month. But today the bill was $141.18. When I click on the “examine bill changes” it just says “increased $0.26” No reason, it's just more this month, than it was last month. And the estimated bill for next couple of months is going to be $152.29. No reason, no ex...

Weight: 352.0 lbs (159.7 kg) BMI: 45.2 Waist: 57.5 in (146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Taco Mix Lunch: Cordon Bleu Soup Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer Sober Day 2 YMCA: Weight Room/Cardio Slow start again today. I really just didn't want to do anything. I finally convinced myself that I hated the effects of not moving than I hated the getting up and moving. I woke up at about 7:30 which is really good for me, but it was close to 10am by the time I got up and moving. Something got a-hold of me and it's been a-hold of me all day long. I did convince myself to get to the YMCA and I did stay a little bit longer in the weight room than I did on Saturday, but still feel hesitant being in there. Might just need to build the habit. And again I felt better in the cardio room on the treadmill. I really pushed myself on the treadmill. Got it up to 3 mph (4.8 kph) for 10 minutes. I waited to weigh in until I was back from the YMCA. I've noti...

I had set my alarms to try to wake up before dawn again. But again I just went back to sleep. I need to work on trying to get out of bed when my alarms go off. I had to work at 10 instead of 11 this morning and it kind of threw off the entire day. And I spent the entire day counting down until the end of the day as tomorrow I'm going back to vacation. I know that I had vacation a couple of weeks ago, but I am trying to use up all of my PTO before The Holidays start I'm trying to come up with anything to say about today, but it was just such a “beige day”      Feet and calves did hurt a bit in the mornin...

Weight: 334.0 lbs (153.0 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon Lunch: Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup , Powerade Zero Orange Dinner: Bratwursts, Queso Dip Drinks: Kroger Energy Shot, 2x Sugar Free Red Bull, ~3800ml water      Had a hard time getting started today. I didn't post yesterday, I decided to pickup a pack of White Claw. And I think it effected me this morning. It wasn't a hangover, and I wasn't still drunk, I just had no GO. I don't think it was depression, I wasn't sad, I was just so damned numb. (Okay that might be depression) Alcohol is a depressant and one of the many reasons that I want to be quitting alcohol. But then again it could have been a light hangover, I was thirsty as hell when I woke up this morning.      I'm using blankets as blackout curtains to keep the sun out of my room during the day to try to keep the electricity bill down. And I need to remember to take them down at night. It is a lot ea...
