Weight: 304.6 lbs ( 138.2 kg) BMI: 39.1 Waist: 51 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: No Bean Chili  Hot Dogs Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 634) Keto Month 6 (Day 203) (246/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get the post done last night (Saturday) as I had worked later than usual and by the time I had “recovered” from work it was too late to write a post. I did try to read a little bit. Read the chapter where Oliver Twist made his way to London. Which was kind of interesting because I had always thought that the entire book took place in London. Charles Dickens had obscured the starting city so I had just assumed that London was where he started out at. But it took Oliver a couple of days of walking to get there. And I just read that one chapter and when he got to London he was found by another kid who I'm assuming is one of the thieves that the story is known for recruiting little Oliver. I am o...

Weight: 305.4 lbs ( 138.5 kg) BMI: 39.2 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Spicy Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Rib-Eye Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 620) Keto Month 6 (Day 189) (234/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good drop on the scale this morning. Not quite back on track, but good progress. Didn't wake up early enough to cook breakfast or have any coffee I did have a can of Monster as I went into work and had some smoked sausages. The store was quite active, but not as busy as the level of irritability that people seemed to be in. People were just pissed off all day long today. For a bit I did wonder if was just me being in a foul mood. But I didn't feel that bad it was just everybody was yelling at me. I kind of wanted to tell people to calm down, but that never has the desired effect. I heard a guy yelling in the health and beauty section so I...

Weight: 307.7 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Sausage Patties with Eggs and cheese Lunch: Pork Loin, cottage cheese Dinner: Rib Eye Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 619) Keto Month 6 (Day 188) (233/365 Days 2026 Keto) Weight jumps up, but crawls back down. Had to work a little earlier than normal today so I didn't have time for coffee. I did have time for breakfast of sausage eggs and cheese. Work was quite active today, but not really to a stressful amount. The stress was from training the new guy. Again it wasn't that he was doing poorly, it was just that he was new and not sure what he was doing so I had to coach him a lot. It is strange I've been supervisor for FAR TOO LONG at this store, but I am still uncomfortable training new people. I had some cottage cheese with the pork loin that I had for lunch. I tried to convince myself that I didn't need anything to go with lunch, but I wasn't ...

Weight: 303.8 lbs ( 137.8 kg) BMI: 39.0 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Cashews Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Boneless Rib-Eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 614) Keto Month 6 (Day 183) (228/365 Days 2026 Keto) That weight sucks. Sure it is lower than the beginning of the month, and WAY lower than the beginning of the year. But come on, I want to go back to being under 300 lbs (136.1 kg). I did manage to post last night close to the 11pm goal that I want to do, but then I played with spreadsheets for a while after that. I was scolding myself that I posted early because I want to start reading in the evening, not give myself more time working with spreadsheets. But when I did finally get to the book I came to the realization that I probably shouldn't have tried restarting my reading hobby with a Victorian English novel. It was a quart to midnight and I'm trying to wrap my h...

Really excited that the credit card finally came in. Not in the manner of “Whoohoo shopping spree!” but more in the manner of I've spent the last month or so planning and waiting for this puzzle piece to come in. I didn't get the posts done in the last couple of days as the other night I was watching the lunar eclipse and last night when I got home the credit card was here and I did another rebalance of the budget plan. The last rebalance was because there is a $5 bonus for signing up for autopay on the phone bill, but when I tried to put the credit card on the autopay it said that the card w...

8/22/26 Saturday Weight: 300.4 lbs ( 136.2 kg) BMI: 38.6 Waist: 51.0 in ( 129.5 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Dinner: Rib-Eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 609) Keto Month 5 (Day 175) (220/365 Days 2026 Keto) Finished the Old World Blues DLC for Fallout New Vegas. Took a bit as I was kind of stuck in a death loop as I had fell into a canyon with the enemy robot spiders that kept wiping me out. Luckily I found a cave that I could use to save scum. As it autosaves whenever you go in or out of a building. So I would go into the cave so it would autosave, come out kill a scorpion, and then duck back into the cave. I found a weapon called a “Tesla Cannon” that was supposed to do extra damage to robots, but if it did it wasn't much extra. It had a really downer ending as the main bad guy of the story was a scientist driven mad by the Amphetamine drugs in the game known as Mentats and the scientists...

Weight: 306.4 lbs ( 139.0 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: X Lunch: Rib-Eye Steak Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 573) Keto Month 4 (Day 134) (184/365 Days 2026 Keto) Finally a day that had a weight that was lower than the beginning of the month. Sure the weight has been under the start of the year for most of the year. But for most of this month the wight has tracked upwards. I think it might be a bit soon to tell if today's weight was the result of the TMAD diet finally taking hold. I was dreading trying to come up with the courage to call the dentist to cancel the plan for the implants as throwing around numbers all day yesterday just didn't make it look like I was able to afford the two $11,000 payments and I wasn't sure how the $620 payment plan that we discussed fit into everything. But they had called me this morning to tell me that they needed a couple more X-Ray sca...

Weight: 311.5 lbs ( 141.3 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Cashews Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Snack: Cashews Dinner: Bone-In Rib Eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy, Powerade Sober Year 1 (Day 563) Keto Month 4 (Day 123) (173/365 Days 2026 Keto) Power blinked again when I started writing this out, this is strange that this is happening all of the sudden. I hope that it isn't related to the storms that have been coming through lately. And when the power came back up it sounded like a big bunch of fireworks went off. Or at least I hope it was fireworks. :/ The radar was clear and the forecast doesn't show any storms for the next several hours. Trying to not let today's weight effect me too much. But that is a bit of a blow to the morale to be back up to Morbidly Obese. Back of my heels really felt the increase in weight. I did have to ...

Weight: 308.4 lbs ( 139.9 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Boneless Rib Eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy Sober Year 1 (Day 562) Keto Month 4 (Day 122) (172/365 Days 2026 Keto) Worked a little earlier than I usually do today so I didn't do much before work. It wasn't much earlier as I was scheduled to work 10 to 5:30, but that did throw me off so all I did was count down how much time I had left before going to work. Since I didn't take the time to cook lunch when I cooked breakfast I had the smoked sausages for lunch. Today I had the Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages as I was wanting to compare how I felt between that flavor and the Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages that I had yesterday as after lunch yesterday my ankles and knees were sore. Today they didn't hurt as much, but there was still a discomf...

My jaw had a low ache to it all night. Not strong enough to do much other than keep me awake doing the rotisserie chicken all night trying to find the comfortable position. Over the day yesterday it didn't hurt that much more, but it was manageable during the day. It didn't really hurt when I had the sausage patties yesterday for breakfast or Bratwursts for lunch yesterday. But when Mom prepared Pork Steak it felt like fire going through my jaw. I had to keep grabbing bottles of water as cool water felt good on the left side of my mouth, but as it warmed in my mouth it lo...

Weight: 311.6 lbs ( 141.3 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Sausage Patties and Eggs Lunch: Rib-Eye Steak Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 543) Keto Month 3 (Day 106) (156/365 Days 2026 Keto) Kind of had a hard time building momentum this morning. Just kind of laid in bed for an extra hour, kept telling myself that I needed to get up and get going. I just was kind of lazy this morning. Annoyed that the BMI is still above the “Morbidly Obese” level. Today I wore another one of the new pairs of pants that I had ordered last week. These are pretty conformable as well. They are a lot quieter than the “Tactical Police Pants” I was glad to note that these pant's phone pocket was able to hold my phone as previous pairs of pants the phone pocket was too small for my phone. It was kind of funny on the “tactical pants” there was a warning that you are “required to remove packaging to wear ...

Weight: 307.9 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Sausage Eggs and Cheese Lunch: Pork Steak Dinner: Rib Eye Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Year 1 (Day 520) Keto Month 2 (Day 83) (133/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get the Weight Loss Update Video done for the week. I recorded the moment of standing on the scale, but didn't get the vlog part of it done. I did think about doing it after work this evening. But considering the store story video took about 9 hours to edit a 8 minute video I didn't think that I would have time to get it done. And I definitely wouldn't have time to do a video and a blog post. Mom cooked sausage patties with some eggs and cheese this morning for breakfast. She cooks the sausage patties better than I do. I imagine that she has a bit more practice than I do. I did get the pork steak baked for the lunch break, it was pretty close to the time I had t...

Weight: 308.6 lbs ( 140.0 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Snack: Cashews Dinner: Rib-Eye Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water,  Sober Year 1 (Day 511) Keto Month 2 (Day 74) (124/365 Days 2026 Keto) Wow, now that's going in the right direction. And it's nice that both the scale and waistline is measuring down. Typically lately when the scale is down the waist is up. Happiness is not a number on the scale/tape measure, but it is nice to have progress again. Not quite progress as I'm still up 1.8 lbs for the month, but down 12.9 lbs for the year. I didn't get around to making the post for Thursday night (Thursnight? hmm) as I did get off of work earlier than I normally would have, but I spent a lot of the evening editing the video that I posted today as I really am wanting to post the Friday Store Stories video on YouTube. Again I doubt that I'll ever get higher than a...

Weight: 309.5 lbs ( 140.4 kg) BMI: 39.7 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Snack: 2x Cashew Tubes Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausage Dinner: Pan Seared Rib-Eye Drinks: Salted Apple Cider Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Powerade Zero Orange, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 462) Keto Week 3 (Day 25) (69<nice>/365 Days 2026 Keto) Still making rocking progress. I'm just gobsmacked that well “gobsmacked” is a recognized word and that I spelled it correctly on the first try, but on topic I had beaten the “short goal” again I'm not considering that goal “beaten” just yet as daily fluctuations can easily bring that above the 1/2 lb that I've passed that goal by. I finished the “Daily Challenges” of the word match game that I've been spending WAY too much mental energy on. There's such an emptiness when I finish a game like this. It's never very satisfying. I'm not sure how to explain it it's just, “Okay, I...

It's been a week or two since I've had a weight that was below the beginning of the year. Waistline is still stagnant though. Since I did the shopping yesterday and Mom gave me a couple weeks worth of lunch I was able to re-record the store story that I was wanting to make. And since it was just a rant to into the camera it wasn't that hard to edit it. I was able to upload that and schedule it's release. I also scheduled the release of the political opinion short that I made. At least I hope I uploaded it as a short. Either way it's going to be a really short video. I also finished the script for the next political opinion. It was really fun to finally get aro...

Weight: 322.1 lbs ( 146.1 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Boneless Rib-eye Dinner: Taco Salad   Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 426) Keto Day 2 (40/365 Days 2026 Keto) This package of bacon has a strange split in the middle so when I try to get a piece out it breaks in half. So it kind of looks like I had 8 half pieces of bacon. IDK I think I would prefer 4 full pieces of bacon. Finished the shopping list and went ahead and did the grocery shopping for the week. I went ahead and topped off the gas in the car and got a hair cut as well. I tried to tell myself that there wasn't a need to make the meal plan just yet as I will be off tomorrow and I usually do the meal plan on Tuesday anyway. But I had just finished doing the grocery shopping and the food was just sitting there in the fridge and I wanted to get the steaks and sausages sealed up in the vacuum seal bags. When I...

Weight: 322.3 lbs ( 146.2 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Fried Chicken Pringles Cheddar Cheese Dinner: Bone in Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 424) Keto Day 0 (38/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was excited to wake up this morning to see my Federal Tax Return landing in my checking account. I went ahead and paid off the remaining four months of the car insurances and re-balanced my budget to hopefully have that budgeted to be paid off all at once in the six month sections. It is cheaper to pay it off all at once. It was just last year right after I had paid off the first six month section my car's oil pressure sensor decided to crap out and I had to pay an extra $455 dollars right after I had paid off the monthly bills and bought a 3D printer. I'm going to be quite a bit more careful this year with the returns and I'm going to be loading up the saving accounts like I was wa...

And I've slept in a day or two so I didn't have time before work to do much either. So it kind of felt like I was waking up and going to work, then going back to bed.  I have been having a hard time cooking over the last couple of days. On Thursday I was happy that I had paid all of the bills that morning so I baked a Fathead Pizza. But the crust had completely carbonized to the baking sheet. Not sure what happened there. I've cooked Fathead Pizza before and had burnt it more than once, but never that badly before. And...

Weight: 328.4 lbs ( 148.9 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Rib-Eye Snack: Enchilada Soup   Dinner: Taco Salad Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 381) Keto Day 1 (1/2 days 2026 Keto) It's a little annoying to reset the Keto Kount, but it is kind of fun that the days sober and the days Keto have the same “ones” number. A bit irritating that the day of the year is 2 though. That's a pretty big jump on the scale this morning. I don't think that I ate 7 pounds (3.1 kg) of food yesterday. But when I got home from Grandma's house last night eating a lot of not very keto food I was REALLY thirsty and drank quite a few cans of seltzer. But that's about 9 cans of seltzer, not counting now much I would have peed out. Oh well, it's not a good idea to try to overanalyze the day to day fluctuations. Strange that Google recognizes the word “overanalyze” but spellcheck flags it...

Weight: 324.1 lbs ( 147 kg) BMI: 41.6 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Enchilada Soup   Dinner: Grilled Bone In Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 379) Keto Day 2 The store was too busy to take many notes during the day and I spent, probably, too much time this evening getting the weigh in spreadsheets ready for the new year. Roommate was up all night last night screaming in pain. I'm a bit nervous to ask him what's wrong, only because I'm pretty sure that I already know. I'm willing to bet that his problems are something to do with his “Werther's Original Meal Replacement Plan” he's never been a big fan of the Keto/carnivore diets (The Proper Human Diet as Dr Berry calls them). He came up with the idea of whenever he gets hungry, instead of eating he'll have a piece of candy instead of eating real food. Kind of like how when people try to quit smoking they suck...

Weight: 327.2 lbs ( 148.4 kg) BMI: 42.1 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cabbage Soup   Dinner: Rib Eye Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Month 10 (Day 324)  I got home last night and I just shut down. I worked until 9pm last night closing the desk. It wasn't that stressful. I actually got out on time for the second time in a row that I got out on time when closing the desk. A lot of times when closing the desk I get out 15 to 20 minutes late. But last night I was able to get out right at 9 O'clock. I did pay my car registration yesterday. The invoice said that it was $150.02 and I remembered in the past when I paid with my debit card there was a fee. I thought that I would be clever and run by the store and grab a Sugar Free Red Bull and withdraw $160 and use that to pay the car registration. However when I got there there was still a fee so I ended up paying $152.54. It is really annoying to pay a fe...
