Weight: 152.3 kg (335.8lbs) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 144.8 cm (56.5 in) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Tuna Mornay Casserole Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Red Bull, Keto Week 1 (Day 10) Sober Month 3 (Day 104) YMCA: No I was going to make an April Fool's video “Carnivore Butter” where I would imply that I was just going to eat butter. And only butter. There are influencers who have gotten famous for just noming on sticks of butter. But when I woke up this morning I had a really strong, “don't wanna to” attitude. Having a really hard time shaking that mood. Trying to think of something to work on, or something to do. But I just don't wanna to. Play a game? Set up another part on the printer? Meh. I don't wanna to. I know that I'm going to go to bed tonight frustrated that I didn't get anything done. But I just can't find the motivation to do anything. Heck, even Roommate asked me if everything was alright. Beca...

It did make it taste a bit strange. It was kind of satisfying when cooking the steak this morning as I was able to get the strip steak to stand up on it's side. Online I've seen people post pictures of their steak standing up and they say that it's good to do that to make the steak cook on all sides. Not that I think it's bad to only cook it on the two sides. But eh, if I can get it to cook all of the way around all of the better right? I'm pretty sure that was the last of the steaks. I do have bacon for tomorrow, I'm going to have to get more bacon on Tuesday when I get groceries. I set the printer to print the front bottom of the left shin. The bottom calf was a...

It's back above the average of the month and the long list. It's still under the average for the year and the last two months. It's great to be down 7.1 lbs (3.2 kg) for the year, but kinda sucks to be up 5.2 lbs (2.4 kg) for the week. And yeah, fluctuations happen, but it would be nice to be fluctuating in the other direction. Steak and eggs for breakfast was great for a while, but that's really getting expensive. I think once I'm out of the steaks that I have I'll just stick to bacon and eggs for breakfast. I set the printer to print the left bicep of the cosplay. It printed the lower half while I was at work and after work I s...

Still can't seem to spell sobriety properly. I don't think that I've gone 100 days without alcohol since I was 21. Not that I've been struggling with it for that long. I printed out the front half of the left forearm of the costume I'm working on. When it finished it was quite satisfying how well it matched up with the back half of the forearm that I printed several years ago. I had to cut the part up a little more because the new printer isn't big enough to print it off in one piece. But a bit of duct tape is holding it together right now. The back half was printed in black filament and the front half is in white filament so there a bit of “yin and yang” going...

I got the stuff for a Tuna Casserole, a Keto Clam Chowder, some steaks, Fish Oil, some Cod, and some chicken. I added up the things I bought as I was shopping, but again the total was more than I added up as I was shopping. I'm trying to keep the weekly grocery bill to around $150, but again today I over spent. As I was shopping it added up to $143, but the total was $164. Not much over, but is that going to happen every week? I printed off the hand plates for the Master Chief cosplay. They're only two little hand plates, but it still took an hour and forty five minutes to print. But still a lot faster and easier than pep...

It might be a short post as when I got home I did dishes, but some bratwursts in the oven and my brain went blank. I noticed that the weight is up quite a bit from yesterday. I'm not sure if that's because of the scale glitching like it has been doing. It did do that a bit when I first woke up, but it did finally give me a consistent number. Not a number that I like very much, but hey, that's the number that it is. And the waist line is up as well. But still under average.  Breakfast was steak and eggs. I had the pan a bit too warm so it got a bit smokey in the house this morning. Strangely the pan was too hot and smokey, but it still took a while to cook the ...

Roommate woke me up early so I could drive him to his appointment. While he was there I worked on an AI inspired recipe. I had a hard time getting things out of the way and getting started on it so I had to go pick him up from his appointment before I was done cooking. He was agreeable to stay quiet while I finished cooking. It gave me hope that I could go ahead and do my cooking channel while he's home. It'll still be better to do it when he's out, but at least there is an option of getting it done.  He was rather upset because the nurse that usually takes care of him is out on vacation and there weren't any other nurses available so he'll have to come back...

I was reminding myself of how well I felt on the days that I did go last year. But I'm on vacation, I could just sit at my computer playing Oblivion. I've gained a bit of weight over the last couple of days as I've been off of my diet, and last year when I was going to the Y I was making amazing progress. But I've heard that 80% of weight loss happens in the kitchen. You're only delaying going because it's new and different. Hard to argue against that. I didn't last very long in the weight room as I'm just wanting to build the habit right now. It was a bit freaky because there was a guy in the weight room yelling about ...

And not much happened today. Weight was up a bit. But I had pizza for dinner last night. The wind was going wild again today, but not as crazy as yesterday. Yesterday was reminding me of stories of the Dust Bowl. Today was cold and windy, but next week looks like it is going to start off quite warm. But there are rumors of snow on Wednesday. It's funny Tuesday is going to be 84 (29 c) , but Wednesday is going to be 50 (10 c) usually when there's a drop in temperature like that there's a really good storm in between. Had steak and eggs for breakfast this morning. The steak seemed to take a while to cook for some reason. The eggs turned out nice ...

Sure there will be daily fluctuations, but weight being up makes one wonder of the decisions of the day before and being down is a great reinforcement of the lifestyle. But being the same as the previous day? What does that mean? Hey, at least the waist is down and so is the fat weight on the watch scan. I was a bit scared for a moment when I came downstairs in the morning. Yesterday was warm enough to turn off the heater and open up the windows. And I forgot to close the windows last night when I went to bed. And it was quite cool downstairs this morning. Not in a dangerous level or a point where I would turn the heater back on. But it did remind...

I have cottage cheese and hot dogs one day for lunch, the next day the weight is up. I have a recipe that I have saved for lunch the weight is down. I have Jalapeno cheesy sausages for lunch, the next day the weight is up. It's still among the lowest weigh ins for the year. And I'm still down 10 lbs for the year. I think starting tomorrow I'll start doing the tracking in my phone app again. Maybe start going back to the YMCA on Monday. I wont go tomorrow because with their Sunday hours they are only open while I'm at work. I'm thinking of trying to get into a habit of going into the weight room Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Maybe going to swim on Tuesday...

It would have been really easy because it was just two screws in the back to hold the spool holder on and plugging in the LCD Control Screen. But those were really small screws and the LCD wire strip was foreign to me. But the magnetic build plate was kind of fun to play with. I decided to just go to bed and try to read. But I was a bit to tired read as well. I was thinking I'm half way through The Children of Hurin so I was hoping that Tolkien was done with the introductions however the characters decided that they needed to go by different names. I realized how tired I was when I was trying to read and the entire book was just a soup of words. It was like my eyes wer...

So when by 10:20 and he didn't call I thought I'll go ahead and set up the Keto Gumbo. It was 10:29 when he called and asked if I had time to make it to the hospital and come get him. I had a bit of a chuckle that he waited to call at 10:29 to call after he said that he wouldn't call after 10:30. I was still trying to set up the slow cooker, but I didn't want to leave him hanging. I would be a rush to get to him and back home. He volunteered to finish setting up the cooker ...

Not sure what's going on there. They haven't been hurting much this week, but now they feel like I'm back to what it was like when I started the year.  I had steak and eggs for breakfast because I'm going to try to stretch out the bacon if I can.   My smartwatch has a feature that scans the Muscle/Fat/Water content of the body when I weigh in each morning. I wasn't sure how accurate the scan is because if I look at the things that it said my body contains the watch scan says I have 1...

Somehow the snow makes the cold a bit more bearable. Cold without snow is just bleah. But with the snow coming down it kind of makes sense. I'm still very ready for spring. But if it has to be winter, let there be snow to make it look like winter. Last night I was playing Minecraft with Roommate and he asked me why I had put the latex gloves on. I told him that it was because of the dry skin on my hands. He said that might not be a good idea because I'm going to want something that lets my skin breathe. He was telling me that his bandage on his leg is designed to let the skin breathe. And the suggestions that I've came across say to wear cotton socks/gloves to keep warmth and moisture in. But...

That is 4.5 lbs (2 kg) down for the month. I'm sure a good chunk of that is just water weight. But losing water weight is still getting weight off of my feet. Roommate was a little irritated at me this morning. I'm running low on bacon so I decided to have a strip steak and eggs for breakfast this morning. I have to say that eggs fried in bacon and steak drippings is a good combination. But he uses a CPAP machine and I guess that the smell of the steak cooking in the seasonings was going into the machine and basically punching him in the face. The back of my hands look like lizard s...

Kind of reminds me of the idea that the only way that a diet will work is if you treat it more than just a “diet” it should be a “lifestyle” It is interesting that over the last couple of days the “Body Composition Scan” on my watch has marked a notable increase in “Body Water” I'm not sure how much to trust this scan as it is just a watch scanning my wrist and the two fingers on the other hand. I think that it supposedly sends a pulse through my torso ...

So I had that steak with my eggs this morning as he went to a doctors appointment. It was a very Ketogenic meal, but not sure if it was a very hygienic meal. The steak was left out all night and I reheated it in the cast iron skillet that had leftover bacon grease in it that had also been sitting out. So I had a leftover rib eye reheated in bacon grease and fried some eggs in the drippings. Very, very Keto friendly, but all of that meat was left out. So very...um Probiotic? Got around to messing with the printers again. The big one still has a stripped screw. I'm trying the super glue method again, but waiting for longer for the glue to set in the screw head before trying to ...

He asked me if the Seltzer water had a lot of sodium in it because the doctor told him that he was retaining a lot of water. The seltzer cans say “Low Sodium” Roommate said that he's going to quit drinking my seltzer water. Which works for me because I was buying those to quit drinking beer. Looking at the Keto Day count and the Sober Day counts kind of makes me go on a bender to reset both numbers and sync them up. I know that this is an unwise idea. But ever since I got the idea I can't shake it. “Oh, come on. One day wouldn't hurt” “It's not like you'll go back to buying cases of beer a day” But I do know ...
