Weight: 331.0 lbs ( 150.1 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Pizza Soup   Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 283) Keto Day 2 I was woken up in the middle of the night last night as my right eye and nostril were in a competition on which one could run harder. I took some allergy tablets, it is interesting how quickly those take effect (affect?) I do have to wonder how much of that is placebo. Does placebo work if you know it's placebo? Brains are weird. But it is a very strange feeling when the eyes dry up and sinuses drain out. I was too busy this morning paying bills, balancing and rearranging my budget to cook the goulash that I was wanting to. It was a bit annoying to see that it was already 10:15 by the time I was done paying and moving things around and I had to work at 11. so All I had time to do was cook breakfast and get ready for wo...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Bacon Cheddar Member's Mark Hot Dogs Lunch:  Lasagna Soup   Dinner: Tilapia Fillets Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Month 8 (Day 270) Keto Week 3 (Day 25) Growling at the scale this morning. But fluctuations happen. I was wanting to find something to do. So I thought of coming up with a spreadsheet to show and compare my spending this year compared to this time last year. Because I know that I had a pretty expensive car repair earlier this year, but I wanted to figure out why I can't get ahead any further than treading water. And looking at the spending categories I am spending less on Food and Dining, not as less as I would like. By this time last year I had spent $2,625.73 on beer. Disappointingly so far this year I've spent $514.12 on Nonalcoholic Beer which is $2,111.61 down from last year. I really could have used that $514. It...

I'm not even sure what happened. I would blink and it would be several hours later. I really need to find something to do. I really am getting frustrated that I'm not seeming to be doing anything. I'm just sitting here zombie scrolling social media. I played some Minecraft. But honestly all I was able to do was rebuild the stuff that I lost the last time I played and the game glitched and lost all of the stuff I had. I was able to lead some sheep and cows back to my home base to have a bit of a farm. But when I tried to go out to fill out the map I ended up dying and now my gravestone is on the other side of the map. I'm going to see if Roomma...

Weight: 329 lbs ( 149.2 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Quarters  Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 8 (Day 267) Keto Week 3 (Day 22) The last couple of days I've noticed that my feet hasn't hurt in the morning. Not sure if that's because I've been off and not walking around all of the time or because I'm back to the Keto. Last week my feet were hurting so I'm not sure that it's completely because of the diet. Here are some things that I had forgotten to mention yesterday because the evening caught up with me quite quickly: I had gotten a new Debit card in the mail and I was out of seltzer so I ran over to the store to activate the card and get more water. Out of habit I had used the store's app to pay for the water and I was heading out of the store when I caught myself and went to the ATM and activated my card.  And...

Weight: 332.8 lbs ( 151 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 55.5 in (141.0 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Instant Pot Chili Dinner: Baked Rib Eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Powerade Zero Orange,  Low Carb Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 7 (Day 213) Keto Day 2 Struggled before work today to get the Instant Pot Chili set up. It took a while for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure, and that was after the rushing around to get it in the pot itself. The plan was to get the instant pot chili set up for the lunch for the week. Well, I was going to do that yesterday, but I needed to do laundry yesterday. And as it only takes 35 minutes at pressure to cook this chili and I was scheduled to work at 11:30 instead of 11am I figured that it would be fine to get that pot done before work. It was taking so long for it to get to pressure I looked it up on Reddit, and apparently the larger recipes take longer to pressurize because the entire pot has to get up to boiling ...

Weight: 335 lbs ( 152 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Fried Chicken, Kroger BBQ Flavored Chips Dinner: BBQ Chuck Roast Drinks: Salted Coffee, Sugar Free Red Bull, Low Carb Monster, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 4 (Day 144) I shouldn't have had finished off the pitcher of Tea last night. Had a hard time falling asleep after posting the blog last night. Body was tired, mind was tired, brain WAS WIRED FOR SOUND. I made another pitcher of tea this morning, but I didn't have any of it after work. I'm not going to go full caffeine free, but I'm going to try to avoid it in the evening. I'll see if that helps me sleep better.  A little disappointed at the weight tracking over the last couple of day, sure I haven't been on the diet, but does it collapse so quickly if you're not that close to the diet 100% of the time? The first day back from vacation always really pisses me off. It's always a mi...
