Weight: 308.8 lbs ( 140.0 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 53 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Pork Steak and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 549) Keto Month 3 (Day 112) (162/365 Days 2026 Keto) Rushed post as I had started it quite late. I have been working on getting store story videos done. It is fun that I have two videos recorded so far this week and a third one scripted out. I figured if I get as many store story videos done as possible I could start getting some of the other videos that I want to do done. They say that to become successful on YouTube you have to pick a niche and stick to that one thing and that's the one thing that you do. To me that sounds boring. Although I don't know of any other channels that talk about a variety of things. But I do want to do Book Reports, and Movie Reviews and other Vlog Videos. I want to do more than just complain a...

Weight: 309.4 lbs ( 140.3 kg) BMI: 39.7 Waist: 53 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 548) Keto Month 3 (Day 111) (161/365 Days 2026 Keto) WTF is that weight this morning? The weight this month really seems to crawl down for a couple of days and then JUMP back up. It's still lower than the other times that it had jumped up, the frustration is that it's down, it's down, I'm making progress, I'm...oops never mind. Today was the Solstice. The longest day of the year. Technically the beginning of summer, although the days do get shorter after today. As the store I work at faces south I thought it would be interesting to see if the north side of the store ever gets sunlight. A simple point I'm sure. But I had noticed that at this latitude the sun never really gets all of the way to the top of the sky. That happens closer to the equato...

But well under the average for the year so the average is going down. Or at least I'm sure that's how averages work. And it is up, but not enough to get all that wokred up about When I woke up Mom was melting some beeswax to make some of her homemade ointments. As she cooked that she told me that all of the bacon in the fridge was frozen as when I used the last package I didn't take any bacon out of the freezer so I had some sausage patties with eggs this morning. I didn't take the time to cook the lunch before I left for work. I could have as I worked Noon to 9 ...

Weight: 311.6 lbs ( 141.3 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Sausage Patties and Eggs Lunch: Rib-Eye Steak Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 543) Keto Month 3 (Day 106) (156/365 Days 2026 Keto) Kind of had a hard time building momentum this morning. Just kind of laid in bed for an extra hour, kept telling myself that I needed to get up and get going. I just was kind of lazy this morning. Annoyed that the BMI is still above the “Morbidly Obese” level. Today I wore another one of the new pairs of pants that I had ordered last week. These are pretty conformable as well. They are a lot quieter than the “Tactical Police Pants” I was glad to note that these pant's phone pocket was able to hold my phone as previous pairs of pants the phone pocket was too small for my phone. It was kind of funny on the “tactical pants” there was a warning that you are “required to remove packaging to wear ...

Weight: 311.7 lbs ( 141.4 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Pork Steak, Cottage Cheese Snack: Cashews Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 542) Keto Month 3 (Day 105) (155/365 Days 2026 Keto) Happiness is not a number on the scale, but it is irritating to be back up to “Morbidly Obese” That does seem to be a pattern the day after I eat a Ham Steak. I speculate that the salt in the ham makes me retain water so I will probably be peeing all day long today. Worked 12 to 8 today so I had plenty of time to cook bacon and eggs for breakfast and bake the pork steak for lunch. I really didn't do much else before work other than wait and count down to the time I had to go to work. I had forgotten that I was going to do Monday weekly weigh in videos until that I had already started eating breakfast. Maybe I'll get one done next week. I wor...

Not in any amount to get overly excited about, but I'll take a down. Was kind of wanting something different for breakfast this morning so I had some sausage patties and eggs as the sausage box was already opened. I added salt to the coffee this morning and it did taste better than plain I recorded the current Store Story Video. But I had a hard time finding the desire to edit it. I did get it done and I should have gone ahead and post it for the algorithm (consistency is supposedly King on YouTube success) But I just wasn't feeling like it. Again not a great attitude to have if I'm ever going to find success on the platform. All afternoon I had a hard...

Weight: 306.9 lbs ( 139.2 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Top Loin Steak Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 529) Keto Month 3 (Day 92) (142/365 Days 2026 Keto) Heh, Tuesday is the second day. I was able to wake up early enough to get breakfast coked and get to the mechanic to get the oil changed. I was kind of nervous as they were expecting me to be there at 9am. And sure I work at the store from time to time at 9am, but there's a difference between being late for work and being late for an appointment. I was a little annoyed that I was five minutes early, but it was 25 minutes into the hour that they finally got the car into the bay. I had them rotate the tires. I had never had this done before because I was worried about additional charges, but as Mom and Step-Dad had bought the tires for me as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago there the t...

Woke up with a Text Message from the Storage Company asking if I would accept messages from them. Then a bit later I got a call from them letting me know that the bill was due and they would be willing to take the payment over the phone. But the storage place is literally the direction I drive to get to work. I have to drive by the storage place to get to work so I stopped by. Also I wanted to get a paper receipt to show the payment. I'm not sure why I'm keeping the paper rece...

Dropping under the average for the month. Still up for the month, but under the average. And a reminder why one shouldn't really sweat too much on the daily fluctuations. I had to work at 9am and unfortunately I pulled myself out of bed at around 8. So I had to pretty much do the wake up and run out of the door kind of wake up that I was trying to avoid the last couple of times I was scheduled to work the 9 to 6 shift. And as I had to jump out of bed and then out of the door I didn't have time to have the proper breakfast with the coffee. So as the day got started a headache started developing. When I got t...

It hasn't been this high since March. Being up 5.7lbs (2.6 kg) in two days kind of makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong. The salad for lunch yesterday was rather large and I did have the nearly pound of bratwursts right before bed last night. Spent a while recording and editing the Store Story for this week. I'm starting to see what kind of challenge it will be to make a weekly scripted video series. I did think that should have been scripting out videos for months. Sure at the old place I really didn't have many opportunities to record videos, but that shouldn't have stopped me from scripting out ...

I guess it takes the better part of a week to “recover” from going to a buffet. I don't think it was all fat, but I doubt that it took that long to digest the food that I ate on Sunday. Research is required in that area. Before work I baked a pork loin that Step-Dad bought for me while I cooked breakfast. Got home from work and just got slammed with writers block. It was more satisfying playing the Jewel Sorting Game (not sponsored) on my phone than it was to think about the day. Not that it was a bad or frustrating day. Honestly it's hard to think of anything worth...

I didn't wake up, but it didn't track my sleeping so it gave me a bad score because it didn't track any sleep several times over the night. I was able to wake up pretty good this morning before work. I was kind of worried as I was scheduled to come in at 7am which is quite a bit earlier than I usually work. I did buy a Sugar Free red bull the other day when I got groceries. I drank that this morning as I woke up, but I don't think that it was really necessary. I didn't have time to have proper breakfast thou...

It doesn't actively hurt. But every time I rub my nose, or touch my face there's a bit of a sore spot right at the bottom of the right nostril right between where the facial hair an my nose is  For what is supposed to be my day off on a normal week and Vacation this week today had a lot of running around. Woke up right as Roommate had to go to his appointment. Did the grocery shopping while he was in there. I was going to pay the electricity and gas bills while at the store, but had forgotten to write down the account numbers. So I had to run home to get the account numbers. Just as soon as I wrote down the account numbers for the bills Ro...

I've been hard bingeing Oblivion over the last several days so I didn't take the time to make much progress on anything else. I had started a new play through so I can truly track all of the locations that I've discovered and that did put me in a bit of a funk as I was up to 60 hours on the last play through and restarted and all of that time was just wiped out. And starting that again kind of hurt. But this play through I've found 139 locations but only cleared 24 of them. That's 43% locations found but only 7% of the locations cleared. But I'm going to try to not have my time so absorbed by the game. I'm going to stop tracking “Keto” days until (if?) Roommate goe...

Roommate had his appointment this morning at 8:45. So I ran him by the hospital, while he was at the hospital, I decided to go do the grocery shopping. As soon as got done with that I went home, when I got home I went ahead and took shower. As soon as the shower was done Roommate was done with his appointment, but he needed to run by Walgreen's (not sponsored) on the way home he was in a bad mood so he wanted McDonald's (Not Sponsored). So I ran him by McDonald's I was trying to decide if the one on 4t h street or the one on 11t h was closer, but he said that the one a block and a half away from the Walgreen's was the closest one. But he didn't say that until I was already hea...

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 ...

Not sure what that's about.  A bit annoyed by the measurements this morning. Reminding myself that daily fluctuations happen. I think I might have had a bit too much meatloaf last night. Then again justifying daily fluctuations is a shortcut to insanity. And one of the reasons they say to avoid doing daily weigh ins. The Amazon order finally charged my account. It still says that it's going to be delivered tomorrow. And the site says that it was shipped, but the only update on the “See all updates” is “Package left the shipper facility” it doesn't say where it's coming from, but it does say that it's still scheduled to be ...

It was like I just ran a marathon, but only in my calves. As I got up and moving they loosened up. I noticed that I haven't had salted coffee over the last week or so. So maybe the lack of salt is making my muscles sore? Maybe the cause of the headache over the last day or two? I made sure to put salt in the coffee this morning and I took my supplements (Fish Oil, Magnesium, Potassium, K2+D3, Vitamin D3) The rent check finally came through today. I have to say I was dancing on sunshine when I...

This has happened before, but rarely. I was praying that it was just the main sewer line like it was previously. IF that was the case they would just send someone out to clear the line. I called the landlord and he came out while I was at work. But when landlord came out he and Roommate checked the kitchen sink and that wasn't backing up. Meaning it was a clog in the upstairs sewer system. Meaning that the plumber had to go go upstairs. So I spent the free time panic scrubbing the bathroom. That bathroom hasn't been this clean in years. I woke up surprisingly ea...

These do have accessory pockets but oddly they have zippers on them. I don't see myself zipping these up too often. These pants have a oddly tight fit around my calves. I'm sure that they'll wear in as well. Another odd thing about them are the front pockets are oddly deep and go straight down. It's nearly up to my elbow deep. And the back pockets are strangely wide. So it's kind of hard to get my wallet out while I'm sitting down. They also seem to smell quite good to dogs, as the roommate's dog has been randomly shoving it's cold nose up against my legs all day long. Very not very good with the diet today...

Not really uncomfortable, just couldn't fall asleep. There was a bit of confusion this morning at the clinic when I arrived. I had an email saying that I had an appointment for a Venipuncture. But when I got there they didn't have any thing showing that I was going to show up, but there was a gap in the schedule. And my main labs aren't due until December. They did what I think they called a CBM. The only thing that I can think of was that when I called the Wichita branch to say I couldn't come in because of work they canceled both of the appointments. After they drew the blood I was given a total. I was a bit shocked to hear that they wanted $15 for an appointment that I didn...
