Weight: 303.4 lbs ( 137.6 kg) BMI: 39.0 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.8% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Hormel Pork Loin Mesquite BBQ, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy Sober Year 1 (Day 590) Keto Month 5 (Day 156) (201/365 Days 2026 Keto) Spent the last couple of days redoing the numbers on the Keto Count I noticed something a bit odd about the numbers. I know that it isn't extremely important to keep 100% right. But it is something that I'm tracking so might as well keep it on track. Had a hard time falling asleep last night. I think I had too many energy drinks yesterday. I did wake up alright this morning though. It was really peaceful this morning while I had the bacon and eggs. I figured that tomorrow (Tuesday) I'll finally have to go to the DMV and the Tag office to go ahead and update my address on those. If I gave a reason it would be a lie. But on the Credit Card ap...

July 28, 2026  Weight: 302.6 lbs ( 137.3 kg) BMI: 38.8 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Air Fryer Hormel Pork Loin Garlic herb, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 584) Keto Month 4 (Day 145) (195/365 Days 2026 Keto) Starting this post late as after work I tried to beat the DLC mission in Fallout New Vegas. I'm really getting tired of this mission, but I can't get back to the rest of the game until I beat that mission. I went ahead and had breakfast this morning as I was feeling better with the bacon and eggs. Work was frustrating as I was supposed to be scheduled to be a carryout for most of the day and the service desk for a good chunk of the day, but I was informed that the guy who walked out the other day was the guy who was supposed to be in the online pick up so I was shoved into the position. Also was expected to be a carryout and run the servi...

Weight: 302.4 lbs ( 137.2 kg) BMI: 38.8 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Air Fryer Hormel Pork Loin Garlic herb, Cottage Cheese Snack: Savage Slim Jim Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 583) Keto Month 4 (Day 144) (194/365 Days 2026 Keto) After posting last night and updating the word document for the next day I noticed that the last digit of the “Sober” count and the Keto Count are off by one number. (One ends in a 3 and the other ends in a 4) kind of makes me think that on this next New Year's Eve I should get absolutely hammered and have a pizza, just to get synced up. (joking) Spent yesterday playing Fallout New Vegas. I decided to play one of the DLC Stories. And that took entirely way too Goddamned long. The story there was that Fallout takes place 200 years after a nuclear war and there is this casino that some people have came up with the idea of breaking into for a big...

Weight: 303.2 lbs ( 137.5 kg) BMI: 38.9 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Savage Slim Jim Vienna Sausages Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb, Pork Rinds, Queso Blanco Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Snack: Cashews Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Powerade Orange Sober Year 1 (Day 580) Keto Month 4 (Day 141) (191/365 Days 2026 Keto) It's kind of funny to be frustrated by a weight of 303.2 lbs. I was so close to the “Short Goal” yesterday and it's been so very long since I had weighed less than 300lbs (136 kg) but no today had to be up 2.8lbs (1.3 kg) I'm still down 5.6 lbs (2.5 kg) for the year and the two or three pounds is within daily fluctuations, but it would have been exciting to beat that goal. But then again if I did have a weight under 300 lbs (136 kg) I would wait for a bit to consider that goal “beaten” for a bit just because the weight fluctuates like that. The morning before work really snuck by me. I woke up at the usu...

Weight: 303.7 lbs ( 137.7 kg) BMI: 39.0 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: X Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Dinner: KC Strip Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 577) Keto Month 4 (Day 138) (188/365 Days 2026 Keto) That's a good drop in the weight today. Almost back to making progress for the year. I really didn't do anything before work this morning. I got the feeling that I was supposed to be doing something. But I couldn't figure out what it was. I did think about having breakfast. It is kind of funny as I was thinking that there was a quite a long time when I was doing TMAD, but back then I wasn't doing Keto as I was having Fried Chicken for lunch and Hamburger Helper (not sponsored) for dinner and then skipping breakfast. When I learned about Keto and was trying that diet I started having Bacon and Eggs for breakfast each day and then had a recipe for lunch, and then for dinner. That eventually evolved into havi...

Weight: 307.1 lbs ( 139.3 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: X Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 576) Keto Month 4 (Day 137) (187/365 Days 2026 Keto) My phone didn't want to recognize that it was plugged in when I went to bed. When I kept trying to plug it in it eventually said that there was moisture or a foreign object in the charge port. Thankfully I have a charge pad that lets it charge wirelessly. It is slow as balls charging that way. I might just have to go in and upgrade the phone. I'm sure the payment for the new phone won't be much, when I payed off this phone it was only about $30/month cheaper without the plan. Just really freaking annoyed that I had just payed this phone off back in February (How the hell was that six months ago) and now I'm looking at having to get a new one. It'll be a lot cheaper than the dentures that they're...

Weight: 306.8 lbs ( 139.2 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 53 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 550) Keto Month 3 (Day 113) (163/365 Days 2026 Keto) I got distracted by working on the latest store story video to work much on this post. It is exciting that I am three weeks advanced on that project. Again I'll have to be careful to not get complacent and just wait for those weeks to go by before I get more videos done. I did get the Bacon and Eggs done for breakfast. I ran by the storage place to put a payment on my storage unit. I did have to drive around for a while before I made the payment though. Just as I was driving up I saw the guy who manages the place locking the door and walking out to his car. It was just before noon so I'm assuming he went to lunch. I could have ran up to him and paid real quick, but I thought that was rud...

Weight: 306.1 lbs ( 138.8 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb, Cottage Cheese Snack: Cashews Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 538) Keto Month 3 (Day 101) (151/365 Days 2026 Keto) Really good drop on the scale this morning. It would be nice if that continued. Didn't really do much before work. I worked 10:30 to 7:30. So it was a bit early for me to work. Not early enough to effect me much other than counting down how much time was left before I had to go to work. Mom prepared Breakfast this morning. She told me that she felt guilty for not cooking dinner last night, but she wasn't feeling well. She's been having some serious sinus issues lately. As I had threw away the last of the Apple Cider Vinegar yesterday I just had the coffee straight this morning. It tasted quite bitter. I'm used to having the sourness of th...

Weight: 309.9 lbs ( 140.6 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 537) Keto Month 3 (Day 100) (150/365 Days 2026 Keto) Weight is crawling down while waist is crawling up. Had a bit of a hard time waking up this morning as last night I got distracted by reading previous pages of the blog as I'm keeping these all in this one document on my computer. Debating the wisdom of that, but meh. When I had the coffee this morning I went ahead and threw away the last of the Apple Cider Vinegar. It was the kind that has the “mother” in it. Not to be too nasty, but it kind of looked like something was growing in the bottom of the bottle. Stayed at home for most of the day. I finished the script of the next store story. Not confident that I'll get it posted this week, but I'll give it a shot. I just didn...

Weight: 304.6 lbs ( 138.2 kg) BMI: 39.1 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Eggs and Slider Patties Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water,Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 530) Keto Month 3 (Day 93) (143/365 Days 2026 Keto) Really good drop on the scale again today. Almost back down to the record for the year again. A bit early to tell, but it would be fun if June had a drop like March did so it would have a month of a big drop that levels out, the next month goes up a bit, followed by another month that has a big drop. For breakfast this morning I was going to have sausage patties with the eggs. However I thought I saw sausage patties in vacuum sealed baggies in the freezer. But as they cooked I noticed that they weren't acting correctly for sausage patties. They seemed to start plumping up as they cooked, and they just didn't look like the sausage patties usually do. Mom confirmed th...

Weight: 306.4 lbs ( 139.0 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Seltzer Sober Year 1 (Day 526) Keto Month 2 (Day 89) (139/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good progress this morning as I'm finally back down the weight of the beginning of the month. Kind of just sat around before work. I did record the General Update Vlog that I'm planning posting on Monday the 1st of June as I do want to do the General Update the First Monday of each month. I was able to get breakfast cooked this morning and have the coffee to go with. One of my uncles texted me to let me know that he has some questions about 3D Printing. I haven't printed anything in about a year, and I have never messed with the printers enough to know much, but I'd be willing to answer what I can. He said that he'll call me tomorrow before work. Poor pupp...

Weight: 306.9 lbs ( 139.2 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 53.5 in ( 135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs, Cheddar Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull, Powerade Sober Year 1 (Day 525) Keto Month 2 (Day 88) (138/365 Days 2026 Keto) Not bad down on the scale, but waist being up is annoying that it is up to the measurement that it was at the beginning of the year. 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...

Weight: 307.4 lbs ( 139.4 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb, cottage cheese Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull, Sober Year 1 (Day 512) Keto Month 2 (Day 75) (125/365 Days 2026 Keto) That's the direction that I'm wanting the scale to go in. 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...

Weight: 310.8 lbs ( 141.0 kg) BMI: 39.9 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Cashews, Vienna Sausages Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Seltzer, 1.25 L Coke Zero Sober Year 1 (Day 509) Keto Month 2 (Day 72) (122/365 Days 2026 Keto) Seriously how long does it take to recover from a buffet? I kind of wonder if I should have restarted the Keto Kount when I went to the buffet on Sunday for Mother's Day. Oh well, still down 10.7 lbs since the beginning of the year and 21.6 lbs since this day last year. So still making rocking progress, but I would like it if that progress continued, or at the very least not go backwards. Woke up at pretty close to 8am like I normally do. Actually woke up before the alarm. I thought since I work an hour later than I normally do I'd just go ahead and just lay there. But the dogs had a different idea as they thought it'd be ...

Kind of giggled at having “Sausage Egg and Cheese” for breakfast as that's a meal from McDonald's. Just their breakfast comes on a biscuit and I skipped the biscuit. I wasn't eager to go back to work as today was the first day back from vacation. I left a few minutes early to return some of the snack food that I bought for last weeks road trip as I didn't open the trail mix or the 2 bags of Pork Rinds. Of course I could have snacked on those over the next several days. But I really didn't want the nuts that was...

Trying to fight the dozing at the computer, but having a hard time thinking of anything to do. I did spend some time cleaning the cabinet doors in the kitchen. Reheated the other half of the pork loin that I had for lunch yesterday. Mom doesn't have a microwave so I tried to reheat it in the oven, it didn't turn out that well. It was still lukewarm and it was really tough. I really just sat here all day playing the Jewel Coloring Game (Not sponsored) It would be easy to blame the weather as today was cool dark and cloudy, but I really never did go outside and the cu...

Not quite as low as the record on Saturday, but still really nice. Great to notice that my left foot has stopped hurting. Not sure if that's because of the weight loss, the fact that I've been off of my feet a lot for most of the week so far, or a combination of each. But it is nice to walk around without limping and I can walk with the entire foot. Or I so I thought as later in the evening when I ran to the store to get a couple of things the foot really started twinging. I don't know if I'm sitting in the car wrong or something but it was feeling fine until I got in the car but not for long. Slow waking up...

A little annoyed by the scale. Yesterday was up 0.1 lbs, today is down 0.1 lbs. Kinda makes you wonder the point. A “stall” is four weeks to several months. It was nice when the weight was dropping quickly, not sure if that stage is over for a bit. Who knows perhaps that time when it was dropping like crazy was the easy part and now is when Dr Berry's “Vitamin P” comes into play. Step-Dad was nice enough to cook breakfast this morning. Was surprised to see that all of the eggs were double yolked. Going to buy a lottery ticket. Trying to think of things to do before I go to work. But really couldn'...

Weight: 310.7 lbs ( 140.9 kg) BMI: 39.9 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Hormel Pork Loin Garlic Herb Dinner: Grilled Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 474) Keto Month 1 (Day 38) (82/365 Days 2026 Keto) Grrr, up three pounds from yesterday. Sill under the “Morbid Obese” so still making progress. What was exciting was that my waist was at 52 inches (132.1 cm) I'm pretty sure that's the lowest waistline that I've recorded on here. In Mom's Laundry room there is a rack of stuff that blocked off the breaker panel and as the plumber was scheduled to come out this morning we had to get the stuff off of the rack to move that rack so he could turn off the breaker to the water well. Right after we moved everything off of the rack and she cleaned the laundry room the plumber called and said that he had a family emergency and will try to come out tomorrow. While Mom was...

And I spent a lot of the evening after work editing it. So a lot of the mental energy went into that. It's not a lot of editing to do it's just getting rid of the “um's and uh's” throughout the video. My videos are really just me talking to the camera. I should be able to upload it tomorrow before work if not then it'll be up after work. I was eager to try to get that video done because I had received an email from Patreon saying that since my account had been idle for so long it is about to be “unpublished” I have yet to get anybody to sign up for my Patreon and I doubt that I ever will, but it definitely won't ...
