Weight: 337 lbs ( 152.8 kg) BMI: 43.3 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Taco Chili Tortilla Chips Snack: Tortilla Chips Dinner: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 9 (Day 294) Another day that wasn't very productive. I just couldn't get myself to do anything. I felt bad because I was sitting around not doing anything, but I couldn't think of anything to do. I didn't think that I would ever say this, but I was getting bored of watching videos online. I just sat here playing games on my phone. I'm sure that on Sunday when I go back to work I'll think of all of the stuff that I could have been doing this week. A little nervous that the rent check still hasn't gone through. But this isn't the latest that it has ever floated. And it is kind of handy to have another paycheck come through before it cleared. But it would be nice if it would like to come ...

Weight: 329.0 lbs ( 149.2 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bologna Sandwiches, Pringles Pizza Chips Dinner: Hormel Pork Loin Lemon Garlic Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 9 (Day 288) Woke up in a mood today. It's just that I'm waking up surviving, going back to bed, and then waking up the next day. Again, I'm not tired of surviving, it's just wearying that that's all I'm doing. I can't think of anything that I've made progress on this year. Well, I have lost 17.7 lbs (8 kg) over the year. But I just haven't done much this year. The problem with that thought it is kind of self replicating (not the right term, but I can't think of the right one) I get frustrated because I haven't done anything, and when I try to think of something to do I just think that I haven't done anything. I did try to come up with an idea of a video to work on, and a kid a...

Weight: 330.6 lbs ( 149.9 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cheeseburger Soup   Dinner: Hormel Pork Loin Mesquite BBQ Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Sober Month 8 (Day 258) Keto Week 1 (Day 13) woke up this morning with a really heavy case of the “don't wanna to” don't want to go to work, don't want to mess with the spreadsheets, don't want to look at the financial program. Don't want to do anything. Just a really low mood all over the place. Not physically sick, just no energy. Feet, ankles, and knees are kind of stiff and sore a lot lately as well. Zombie mode again a lot today. Work was running self checkout for an hour working the desk for a couple of hours and then was the manager for the rest of the day. I just spent the time while I was “manager” just conditioning the isles. That's when you pull the items forward and have the labels up front. I was kind o...

Weight: 330.4 lbs ( 149.9 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Millionaire Chicken Casserole   Dinner: Hormel BBQ Pork Tenderloin Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Peachy Keen, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 8 (Day 241) Keto Day 4 Feet and head kind of hurt this morning. It kind of felt like a hangover. I'm guessing it's a bit of Keto Flu. I didn't break Keto for very long. But I don't know if it matters for when restarting Keto. Also I didn't drink much yesterday so it might have just been dehydration. I have a pitcher of tea in the fridge, but the missing check yesterday kind of had me distracted from drinking any of it. I was pleasantly surprised that, yes they did turn off the water this morning to work on the neighborhood fire hydrant, but it was turned back on before I had to leave for work at 11am The first half of the day went by rather smoothly. The average wait time was ...

Weight: 330.6 lbs ( 149.6 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Stuffed Bell Pepper soup https://youtu.be/JA2XLNoM9_g Dinner: Hormel Garlic Lemon Pork Loin Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 7 (Day 236) Keto Week 2 (Day 19) Down from yesterday, but still up from a couple of days ago. I'm going to guess because I really haven't pooped much over the last couple of days. I did have a motivating movement right before work. But that was after I ate breakfast so I didn't bother reweighing. What was kind of strange was the bathroom kind of smelt like natural gas after I was done in there. I felt really hyper energized when I got to work. I noticed it and had to tell myself to be careful. There have been quite a few times when I'm hyper energized and that mood flips to angry frustration. I was glad that I was supervisor for most of...

Weight: 335.2 lbs ( 152.0 kg) BMI: 43 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Fathead Lasagna Dinner: Hormel Garlic Pork Loin Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Strawberry Dreams Sober Month 6 (Day 191 Keto Day 2 Struggling with writers block this morning on the blog. Considerably more mental and physical energy this morning than previous mornings. But seem to have a log jam of ideas of what to say. It like one of those pictures where you're supposed to see a secret image in them, but if you focus wrong you can't see the image. If that makes sense I finished the Fathead Lasagna for lunch. It was a bit of an early lunch, but Dr Berry always says, “Eat when you're hungry” It's been a couple of weeks since I've played Oblivion so I decided to open that up again. I finished the Dark Brotherhood and Mages Guild story lines. It is so strange to finish those quests. If you do about 10 or so missions you go from br...

Weight: 330 lbs ( 149.7 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Hormel Garlic Herb Pork Loin Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea Keto Day 1 Sober Month 5 (Day 153) Had spaghetti last night so resetting the Keto Count. Got distracted by Oblivion last night so I didn't get around to posting. Or at least that'll be the excuse that I'll use.  It is nice to be back down to 330 (149.7 kg) Goal is currently at 320 (145.1 kg) but I seem to be back on track now.  I did manage to defrost the freezer and take an inventory yesterday. Frustratingly the freezer is still overfilled. HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING? Yeah, I bought some more Bratwursts, and a Pork Butt cut into steaks. But that's all I bought and it was still a challenge to get everything back into the freezer even with the stuff I got out for the weekly meal plan. I didn't think that I had bought more than the seven lunches and sev...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Broccoli Soup Dinner: Pork Loin Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Keto Month 1 (Day 36) Sober Month 4 (Day 130) Had a slight moment of euphoria this morning when I weighed in and the weight this morning was below the short target. But it faded as I had to get ready for work. At least I had time to make breakfast. I could feel the good mood deflate as I drove to work. After I clocked in I stopped in the restroom real quick, and the belt buckle snapped off. So that put me into a great mood. The jeans that I was wearing fit enough that they weren't immediately dropping off, but I had to keep adjusting them the entire first half of the day. And naturally I was working a 5:3 split today, so I had to work five hours before lunch. I ran home for lunch and grabbed the old belt that was stretched out to hell and back. The old belt is so stretched out tha...

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...
