The lady who was scheduled to work 7 to 4 today had a funeral to go to so I traded her Monday for my Friday. I'm not crazy about waking up early (And yes waking up at 6am to get ready for work is early for me) but I was able to get up and get ready for work. I do want to start waking up earlier, but haven't been very good at it. I am kind of proud that I was able to get up at my second alarm. Usually I have five alarms on my phone and two on my alarm clock, even then it's a bit of a coin flip if I get up before the store calls me to ask where I am. Didn't have time to get breakfast before I had to get to

Weight: 335.4 lbs ( 152.1 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Cottage cheese with ranch, salt, and pepper Dinner: Velveeta Cheeseburger Skillet Dinner Drinks: Cup of coffee with cream, 2x Kroger energy shots, 2L Big K Caffeine free Diet Cola      Today was a very clumsy day. It seemed like everything I touched I was knocking something else over. Every thing I typed out was misspelled or worded wrong or said it in the right way. Brain and body is just kind of floppy today. I have a guess that it has something to do with how much stress I had this last week at work.      I did take the time to do a Weekly Weigh In video. When I was making it I wasn't very confident that I had made a very good video. But when I got home this evening and looked over it again it doesn't seem that bad. But this afternoon when I was uploading it I had a hard time getting set up like it should be, tags attached, correct play lists etc. But I'

Weight: 334.4 lbs ( 151.6 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 56 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 75.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Cottage cheese with ranch, salt, and pepper Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Cup of coffee with cream, 2x Kroger energy shots, ~2700ml water      Not a very productive morning. I really just spent it counting down until I have to get ready for work. That is a frustration that I have in my life. I never take the time to do anything, I just count down how much time I have left before I have to do something else. I do the same thing with money. I never save any, I just average out how much I have and how much I could spend each day to make it last until the next thing I have to pay for. But then it becomes more of a spending goal instead of a savings goal.      Another “fun” day at work. But at least I remembered that I was wanting cottage cheese for lunch. I added a bit of ranch dressing into the cottage cheese with the epic amounts of salt and pepper that I like in the cheese

Weight: 335.6 lbs ( kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in ( cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Beddar with cheddar sausages with ranch dressing Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks:2 L Mtn Dew, Kroger Energy shot      Not going to say much in today's blog. I spent the last day or two working on a script for a Store Story video so I'm using up all of the writing creativity in that script.      I drank the Mt Dew this morning because it was what I bought the other day when my roommate gave me some money to get some burgers and chips. I was going to take it back to the store and switch it out for some diet mt dew, but I just drank it this morning. Because, meh, why not? Well, other than the crap ton of sugar and other chemicals in regular mtn dew.      For lunch I picked up a pack of Johnsonville Beddar with cheddar sausages. I picked those up because I wanted some cheese and ranch dressing, but I forgot how much those taste like plastic and I was out of mustard

Weight: 330.2 lbs ( 149.8 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 53.5 in ( 135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon with ranch dressing Lunch: St. Luis Style Ribs with ranch dressing Dinner: X Drinks: Pot of coffee, ~3,600ml Water      Had to measure my waist a couple of times. It's just hard to imagine that I've lost that much in just a few days. Catching up with the weight makes sense with how much I've been peeing. During the last couple of days there was the Amazon, Nile, Mississippi, and my bladder.    Had hard time getting to sleep last night, once I did get to sleep I slept straight through the night but did flop around a bit before passing out.    I baked some ribs. Which was big enough and late enough to consider as lunch and dinner. I finished editing and posted the recipe video for the Southwest Style “Detox” Chicken soup . But again it was one of those days where I'd blink and it was several hours later. I guess that it is Tuesday. I want Tuesdays be my days off it would

Weight 357.6 BMI: 45.9 Waist: 57.5 WtHr: 78% Breakfast: -X- slept in Lunch: Italian Sandwich from deli (sans bread) Sugar Free Monster Energy Dinner: Grilled Cheddar Bratwursts, Ranch dressing (used as a condiment) 12 pk Corona Hard Seltzer   I've heard (several times, from multiple sources) that skipping breakfast is a way to continue the state of “fasting” which is a way that your body relies on its fat deposits. But lately, to be honest, I've been just lingering in bed until I determine that I've laid in bed long enough and I really need to get up. I really need to get more motivated in my life. I have so many things that I want to do, and work on. There really isn't a valid excuse for me to not do anything until I have to go to work. But when I did finally did get up I thought I would try this project again.  For my “lunch break” (which was at around 3pm). I had an Italian sandwich that the deli has for sell. I didn't eat the bread of the sandwich because I

Weight: 339.2 lbs (153.86 kg) Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) BMI: 43.6 Mood: Energetic Breakfast: Chuck Arm Steak. American Blend Salad, Bacon Ranch Dressing, Broccoli Lunch: BLT Salad with homemade ranch dressing Dinner: grilled Sirloin Steak, topped with shredded cheese and bacon ranch dressing American Blend Salad Bud light Notes: I did make a meal plan for the week, but now we'll see if I can stick to it. It was my day off, and lately on my day off for the week I go over to Mom's to do laundry. She invited me to have lunch with her and we had a BLT Salad that was AMAZING. I'm not going to list my calories for today because I'm not sure she tracks calories for her recipes (and it seemed rude to ask) but her BLT Salad was American Blend Salad, mixed with some chopped bacon, diced cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, green bell pepper, green onions, and perhaps other items. And this was topped with her homemade Ranch dressing. And I have to say, tha

(153.3 kg) Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) BMI: 43.4 Mood: trying Breakfast: Pot of Coffee Lunch: 5pk Kroger Cheddar Bratwurst, Bacon Ranch Dressing, 1.25 L Diet Coke Afternoon Snack: Leftover Pepperoni (approx 5oz) Dinner: can of Campbell's Chunky Soup Classic Chicken Noodle, 1.25 L Diet Pepsi Notes: Trying this again. Not sure if anyone cares, or if I should even bother. I tell myself that I'm doing it to get in the habit of counting calories. But I rarely get very driven to keep up on this. I would “like” to do keto. But that does take a bit of doing to get into the habit of eating certain things. And a lot of my problems in general is getting into a habit of doing things. My main problem is the sin of Sloth. I spend way too much time just sitting around waiting for things to get better. I'm starting to get the hint that it's not going to “just get better.” So I need to get up and start MAKING it better. Scale is ac
