Weight: 310.6 lbs ( 140.9 kg) BMI: 39.9 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Seltzer Sober Year 1 (Day 508) Keto Month 2 (Day 71) (121/365 Days 2026 Keto) A bit disappointed in the weight for today. Getting close to getting back up to Morbidly Obese. Trying to think of anything to write for the day. I really did just sit here in the room. I did do the laundry for the week. But I forgot to do the inventory of the garage freezer. I know that there is plenty of food out there, but I would like to keep count of it. I also managed to avoid going out to buy any more food which is something that I need to do for a bit as that freezer is quite full. Baked chicken for lunch. And had some of the salad Mom offered me last night with her homemade Ranch Dressing. I recorded the proverb for the month and the ...

Weight: 308.4 lbs ( 139.9 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Kroger BBQ Pork Rinds Dinner: Mixed Nuts Drinks: Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 489) Keto Month 1 (Day 52) (96/365 Days 2026 Keto) Did fall asleep pretty good last night. Had a bit of a hard time getting up this morning as I was just so comfortable. I did have an argument with myself because it is my day off, but if I lay in bed all day I'll get frustrated that I didn't do anything when I was off of work. I was slow getting up and going around. It was about the usual 8am by the time I got out of the bedroom, but was still slow getting around. By the time I got up and going it was kind of late to get coffee. I did get the laundry done today. Which is a bit quicker now that I'm doing it weekly instead of monthly. I also managed to take the inventory of the meat I have in the garag...

Weight: 309.3 lbs ( 140.3 kg) BMI: 39.7 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: Johnsonville Jalapeno Smoked Sausages Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 470) Keto Month 1 (Day 33) (77/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good number on scale this morning. Another record number for this year and only 4.6 lbs (2 kg) away from the lowest weight of 2015, the second lowest weight on record and 22.3 lbs (10.1 kg) away from the lowest weight I've ever recorded that was back in 2014. This morning I went ahead and wrote out the note to Roommate of my intentions and the motivations of moving out. I also started to pack things up. I ran by Walmart (not sponsored) to grab a lock for the storage unit and some tape for the boxes I snagged from the store. Most of the boxes have been broken down so I'll need to put tape on them to hold them together. I didn't get much moved into the storage unit, just ...

I'm just gobsmacked that well “gobsmacked” is a recognized word and that I spelled it correctly on the first try, but on topic I had beaten the “short goal” again I'm not considering that goal “beaten” just yet as daily fluctuations can easily bring that above the 1/2 lb that I've passed that goal by. I finished the “Daily Challenges” of the word match game that I've been spending WAY too much mental energy on. There's such an emptiness when I finish a game like this. It's never very satisfying. I'm not sure how to explain it it's just, “Okay, I...

Weight: 322.5 lbs ( 146.3 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Baked Chicken   Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 449) Keto Week 1 (Day 12) (56/365 Days 2026 Keto) Surprised by the weight this morning. Up 4.7 lbs (2.1 kg) from yesterday. I didn't think that I even ate/drank five pounds worth of anything yesterday. I was scheduled to work 11am to 7pm today. And strangely I was scheduled to have a half hour lunch today so I didn't have the time to run home to have lunch so I had some of the Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages (not sponsored)  Interestingly my feet and knees didn't hurt like the last couple of times I had those during the lunch break. And usually when I'm a cashier all day my feet and knees are screaming at me. But tonight the left foot is a bit sore, but I can still stand up and walk around. I w...

And another lowest weight since 2019. Only 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg) from beating that record. And only 2.7 lbs (1.2 kg) from the “progress goal” of 314.8 lbs (142.8 kg), the weight where I started keeping track back in 2014 And if I'm looking at things right the 52.5 inch (133.4 cm) waist measurement is the lowest recorded on this blog. Lots of mental energy this morning, but my body is like, “cool story bro” Brain is saying, “we're going to clean the kitchen, and behind the desk, get the bedroom organized!” Body is saying, “Yeah, no we're not” Quite a bit of mental energy today, trying to conv...

I got off at 10pm, but it takes a while to recover from working. I set up the chili before heading off to work. I took my lunch with me to work today as the snow finally came in and it looks like we did get several inches (about a couple dozen centimeters ). I was scheduled to work 2pm to 10pm but I left for work quite early to give plenty of time to drive through the snowy roads. I was being careful driving to work, but other drivers were irritating me as I was being careful, however other drivers seemed to be fearful. The speed limit is 30 mph (48 kph) on most streets on the way to w...

Weight: 319.1 lbs ( 144.7 kg) BMI: 41.0 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Strip Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 393) Keto Week 1 (Day 9) (12/365 Days 2026 Keto) Exciting that today was another down day on the scale. It makes it look like I'm actually making progress and yesterday wasn't just a glitch or one off. I'm not sure if that trend will continue, but it is exciting to “beat” the lowest weight of last year so early in this year. Started out the morning cleaning out the oven. I do have to say that worked out a lot easier than I was expecting to. It was kind of hard as the oven door doesn't come off like in a lot of ovens referenced online in the “how to” videos, or at least I couldn't figure out how to take it off and the positioning of the shelving unit in the corner across the oven made it hard to reach the back left...

I saw a clip on Facebook of another town their power lines are sparking as they sway in the wind. Praying that their (an our) power stays on. Coffee pot decided to give up the ghost this morning. That and some of the videos that I've been coming across about how caffeine blocks some nutrients kind of makes me think of getting back to the roots of this blog. When I started this it was to be a “Decaffenation” blog (lol the spell check wants to correct it to “Defecation”) Roommate let his dog out of his bedroom, but he didn't come downstairs. I went ahead and took the dog out because Dog was whining pretty hard ...

Weight: 323.0 lbs ( 146.5 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Hormel Pork Loin Lemon Garlic Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 371) Keto Day 1 Spent quite a bit of the morning updating the weigh in Spreadsheets for 2026. That was a really good weight this morning. Bit of a frustration with the waist, but still down 3.5 inches (2.5 cm) for the year. As Christmas Day is on Thursday this year I'm getting paid on Wednesday so I did the grocery shopping yesterday so the check will clear tomorrow. So I usually do the grocery shopping while Roommate is at his weekly medical appointment, but as I already did my grocery shopping yesterday I just came home and waited for him to call. I was going to do laundry this afternoon so I was going to gather up my laundry while Roommate was at his appointment, but I got distracted by a “50 Facts about K...

So when I woke up around 8am I waited a while before showering. And then waited a while to have breakfast. And then I waited a while. I was planning on doing the grocery shopping while he was doing his laundry. But the longer I waited I kept thinking of going ahead and go do the shopping. But I kept telling myself that as soon as I left he'd get up and get cranky because I had left him at home and he couldn't go and get his laundry done. It was half past noon before I heard him get up and start walking around upsta...

Weight: 334.6 lbs ( 151.7 kg) BMI: 43 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages Dinner: Baked T-Bone Drinks: Salted Coffee with cream, Kroger Seltzer, Kroger Energy Shot, Sugar Free Monster Sober Month 5 (Day 169) Had a chuckle when I woke up this morning. I saw a headline that apparently the shareholders of the parent company of my store think that the staff is underpaid and they are supposedly asking the company to pay us a “Living Wage” of at least $19 to $20. Yeah, that's not going to happen. I had just gotten a 25 cent raise. Raising it to $20, would be a nearly 25 PERCENT raise. Which would be a fun idea, it's just not going to happen. There was a digital coupon for the name brand coffee last week so I had took advantage of that to buy “Black Silk” flavored coffee, and I can't say that I like that flavor, it just tastes burnt. I usually drink the Breakfast Blend of the store brand. Every once an...

I ran by Walmart during lunch and grabbed a belt, but forgot the scale. The scale seemed to be pretty stable this morning. A bit annoyed that the weight is up this morning. It's within the realm of “daily fluctuations” so I'm not too worried about that, but today is the first day of the month so it kind of messes up the average for the month. Still amazing progress for the year, heck even compared to the average over last month. I was kind of shocked by the eggs this morning. I cooked the bacon like normal, but when I went to crack open the eggs they...

I was starting to wake up around 7:50 and I was wake, but not quite out of the sleep when Roommate knocked on my door saying that he needed to go to his appointment at 8am.  When I went to go pick him up I saw someone get pulled over. There was a pretty serious rain storm coming through and someone had their back passenger car door open. They were just going down the road in a downpour and their back door was just hanging open. I would really like to know the reason they gave for that.   Something is going weird with my feet and left knee. They were hurting when I was closer to 350 lbs (158.8 kg) they had stopped hurting for a while as I was l...

But I'm blaming that on the jalapeno sausages that I had for lunch yesterday. It's a bit annoying, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Because I'm sure that it's just a minor temporary bump. This morning I did start editing the video that I want to upload for Tuesday. It really isn't a difficult or very long video I just can't seem to find the time to work on it. There's another thing to add to the list of reasons that I'm glad I'm done drinking. Before I went to work this morning my Grandma sent me a message that her hallway light seemed to be burnt out and asked me if I was willing to come over and change the bu...

Still up for the month, but I'm not too worried about that. It's only 1.4 lbs (0.63 kg) from the record for the year and the month is just getting started. It's kind of strange how it's only and already April so far. This year is blazing by and also seemingly stretching on for forever. Was kinda slow getting up this morning. I barely had time to weigh in and cook breakfast before I had to run out of the door for work. Breakfast was strip steak and eggs. But that's going to be the last steak and eggs for a while. The strip steaks came in packs of 3 for about $35 and the bacon comes in $15 packs that last for about a week and a half. So th...

I was going to have them with some eggs this morning. But they were a bit bigger in the pan than I was expecting them to be. So when I cooked them both it really was like eating two whole pork steaks. I was able to eat them all, but I didn't think that I'd be willing to eat eggs with them. Roommate did say that his disability payment is going to be delayed because he didn't meet the deadline last week, however the payment should only be delayed by a week or so and he'll have his...

A little annoyed that yesterday matched the record low for the year, but today was up two pounds (one kilogram) and with the very few days left in the month I'll unlikely match that low level again before the next month. That's just something for Vitamin P. Still making amazing progress this month. I noticed that a shirt that was really kind of tight a couple of weeks ago was fitting a lot more loosely today. The waist hasn't dropped by a whole lot over the month, but I do wonder if the gut is changing shape in other ways. really having a hard time thinking of something to talk ab...

I think it got all of the way up to 81 degrees (27 c) outside. Nice warm sunny spring day. (Even though spring starts next week.) Heh, you can tell if it was a boring day if I start talking about the weather. Really not much happened today. I'm going to keep the windows open for another couple of days as it looks like it's going to stay warm for a couple of days. It does look like it's going to get a bit chilly this weekend. Today was another day where I was really tired. I'm going to blame the weather. It was so nice and warm I just wanted to lay down and take a nap. Maybe it was becau...

I actually moved my scale around to make sure that there wasn't anything underneath it. The watch scan says that there was a pretty big drop in muscle, but there was also a big drop in water weight. Which makes since because of the last couple of days. But the scan says that fat is up a little On the way home from the hospital with Roommate I happened to drive by where the new YMCA is going to be and wow that is going to be huge. Roommate was surprised that I cared because he thought that I had quit going. And it wasn't that I had given up on the idea of going to the Y it's just that I was waiting for him to go back to work. He asked me why h...

Weight: 348.8 lbs ( 158.2 kg) BMI: 44.8 Waist: 59 in (149.9 cm) WtHr: 79.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Fathead Lasagna Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 1 Sober Month 1 (Day 56) Today was surprisingly busy for an off day. I was a bit slow to the start. But once I had breakfast I thawed out the freezer. For as dry as my hands have been lately it's surprising how much ice had built up in my freezer. Probably because I keep opening up the freezer. I don't know why I keep opening up and looking into the freezer, I make a meal plan each week. I could have been a bit better on the plan for the last couple of days but there's no reason to open up the freezer and stare like I've been doing. I decided to get back to the diet today. I did think about waiting for a “good day” to reset. (Wait for Sunday, waiting for an even day on the Sober Day Count, etc.) But like back in Decemb...
