Weight: 333.8 lbs ( 151.4 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: 2x Chocolate Glazed Donuts Lunch: Paleo Keto Gumbo Snack: Glazed Donut Dinner: Bratwurst Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Powerade Zero Orange Sober Month 6 (Day 201) Keto Day 0 Good drop in weight today. We'll see if that continues Trying to think of anything to say. But when I got home my brain just shut down. Today went really smoothly. The store has a promotion for $5 dozen donuts and someone had bought several dozen for the break room. I know that I shouldn't have, but I had a couple of them during my 15 minute break as I had worked a 5:3 split today. Having donuts resets the Keto Kount. I thought about not saying anything, because nobody would know if I didn't tell anybody. But a lie of omission is still a lie, and I'd just be lying to myself. I did grab some sour cream for the Gumbo, and that did tur...

Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 150.4 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Taco Casserole   Dinner: Bubba Nachos Drinks: Salted Coffee with cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 6 (Day 199) Keto Day 0 Got distracted by Minecraft last night to do a blog post. What I was trying to do was to fill out the entire local map. The problem was that as I walked around the sun would go down and monsters would come out at night. I carried a bed with me to “Sleep through the night” but a lot of times when I placed the bed down the monsters would spawn too closely to my bed and I would try fighting them off to sleep, but a lot of times when I was fighting one monster another one would come up behind me and blow me up. If you can get back to the point where your character was killed quickly enough you can pick up the stuff that you had, but the thing is that a lot of time the point where I died would be on the other side of the play area ...

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Kroger Cheddar Bratwursts Dinner: Taco Mac and Cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee with cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Unsweetened Tea, Milk Sober Month 6 (Day 192) Keto Day 0 Had a hard time getting going today. Woke up with what felt like a hangover. Just couldn't get up and moving. It was 2 in the afternoon by the time I started doing anything. I had a stifling headache all day. I made some Taco Casseroles for the weekly lunch plan. The recipe says that it makes Six Servings. But I think that those are six servings with a salad and a veggie side. I went ahead and made two batches with two servings per dish that I put into the fridge so it would last me all week. It took me a bit longer than I thought it would to cook the two batches of the casserole which is strange because it was just a matter of browning the ground beef, mixing it all together, and then ba...

Weight: 334.4 lbs ( 151.7 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Anchor Inn Buffet Dinner: Grilled Ham Steaks Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 0 Sober Month 3 (Day 95) YMCA: No The scale was acting strangely this morning. It seemed to have a hard time picking a number. And when it did it kept giving wildly different numbers. Ranging from 345 lbs (156.5 kg) to 312 lbs (141.5 kg) But the 334.4 seemed to be the most common number that it showed. Who knows how accurate that is though. However the waist measuring tape doesn't fluctuate. And that was showing a loss. Down to 55.5 inches (141 cm) And I have noticed that the gut has been changing shape over the last couple of days. Printing the rest of the parts of the helmet went a lot faster today than it did yesterday. So the shell of the helmet is printed off. I'm going to have to research on how to glue the parts together. I've seen videos on ho...

Weight: 340.0 lbs ( 154.2 kg) BMI: 43.6 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Taco Mix Dinner: Cook in Bag Kansas City Style Ribs Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 0 Sober Month 2 (Day 89) YMCA: No Day 1 of Vacation. Yesterday I had the inevitable question of, “Oh, where are you going?” I'd tell people the various nicknames of our town. But nobody would get the joke until I tell them that I'm too poor to go anywhere I am just staying home, I'm just taking the time off because if I don't use the time off I'll loose the time off. And I'm not too upset about being paid for NOT working. I haven't told Roommate that I'm off this week, I think it'll be fun to see how long it takes him to figure it out. He figured it out when I didn't go to work today at the regular time and we had talked about one of his cousins coming over tomorrow to play board games and with the fact that I have Tuesdays off it ...

Weight: 338.4 lbs ( 153.5 kg) BMI: 43.4 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Fajita Soup Dinner: Deer Chili Pie Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Red Bull, Sugar Free Monster, Powerade Zero Strawberry, Busch NA Keto Day 0 Sober Month 2 (Day 88) YMCA: No Won't have time to write very much. And not much happened today. Weight was up a bit. But I had pizza for dinner last night. The wind was going wild again today, but not as crazy as yesterday. Yesterday was reminding me of stories of the Dust Bowl. Today was cold and windy, but next week looks like it is going to start off quite warm. But there are rumors of snow on Wednesday. It's funny Tuesday is going to be 84 (29 c) , but Wednesday is going to be 50 (10 c) usually when there's a drop in temperature like that there's a really good storm in between. Had steak and eggs for breakfast this morning. The steak seemed to take a while to cook for some reason. The eggs turned out nice ...

Weight: 335.6 lbs ( 152.2 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs  Lunch: Italian Sausage and Spinach Soup Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: Domino's Pizza Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Red Bull, Sugar Free Monster, Powerade Zero Orange Keto Day 0 Sober Month 2 (Day 87) YMCA: No I didn't get to the Y this morning either. I was conscious at 7am. But there is a big difference between awake and conscious. I didn't get up and around until closer to 9am. And by the time I got up, showered, and had breakfast there just wasn't enough time to go over there for a reasonable workout. I poked a bit at the 3d Printing software on my computer. It still isn't sending the file to the printer to so I can print off. A warning about the firewall did come up, but it went away before I could figure out much about it. Maybe that is the issue. I try to tell myself that I'm going to leave it alone until Monday when I'm off and will have more ti...

Weight: 335.4 lbs ( 152.1 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Top Loin Steak Dinner: Kielbasa Potatoes Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Red Bull, Sugar Free Monster Keto Day 0 Sober Month 2 (Day 84) YMCA: No Always a bit irritating to weigh the exact same as the day before. Sure there will be daily fluctuations, but weight being up makes one wonder of the decisions of the day before and being down is a great reinforcement of the lifestyle. But being the same as the previous day? What does that mean? Hey, at least the waist is down and so is the fat weight on the watch scan. I was a bit scared for a moment when I came downstairs in the morning. Yesterday was warm enough to turn off the heater and open up the windows. And I forgot to close the windows last night when I went to bed. And it was quite cool downstairs this morning. Not in a dangerous level or a point where I would turn the heater back on. But it did remind...
