I did buy some butter and aluminum foil this afternoon and when I added the spending to the comparison spreadsheet that I started that compares this years spending to last years spending I was kind of encouraged because this day last year I had spent $30 on Beer and Velveeta dinner. As opposed to today's $8 on butter and foil. Who knows, maybe I'll get to a point where I spend less this year than last year.  I heard the freezer fan buzzing against the ice in the freezer again so I decided to go ahead and thaw out the freezer again. I figured that it'd be better to thaw it out before the ...

I was trying to read Dr Stephen Hawking's "A brief History of Time" I would like to know what divine power is involved that every time I come across something explaining Quantum Mechanics I am always dead tired. I know that quantum mechanics are inherently incomprehensible, but just once I would like to come across when I'm awake and sober. Eight months sober, but it was half past midnight my eyelids were sticking and I'm trying to read about the double slit light experiment and particle/wave duality   Did a little bit of cherry picking on the weight this morning as the sc...

Weight: 328.2 lbs ( 148.9 kg) BMI: 42.1 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Keto Paleo Gumbo Dinner: Pork Loin Ribs Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 7 (Day 233) Keto Week 2 (Day 16) When I go to bed I have been setting my phone to play ambient music, space documentaries, or the “Science Facts to Fall asleep to” but last night I thought I would try not playing anything at all on my phone. And I have to say that the quiet was really quite soothing. It was cool enough that the AC wasn't blowing, the phone was off, and I didn't turn on the fan that I have next to my bed. I rested and realized that we don't have much opportunity in the modern world to have it completely quiet. Amazing weight loss progress so far this month. Going to attribute that to being in the second week of Keto. Waist still hasn't gone down by much, but the sides of my gut seem to be coming in. strange...

I've been doing the daily weigh in and tracking that on (probably way too many) spreadsheets, but I just haven't been doing pretty much anything else. Not really sure why I stopped doing anything. I didn't WANT to stop doing stuff. I just kept telling myself, “I wasn't very 'Keto' today, I'll just do it tomorrow”. The beer wasn't helping in that area at all. The last several months the large cans of Natural ICE beer have been on sale for $0.99 per can. (It's not a good beer it's just cheep) And I have been taking advantage of this sale. And I have been drinking much more beer than that. As when the store is sold out of the Natural ICE beer I...
