Weight: 326.8 lbs ( 148.2 kg) BMI: 42 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Strip steak and Eggs Lunch: KC Strip Steak Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Month 8 (Day 262) Keto Week 2 (Day 17) I did not sleep very well last night. I was just flopping around all night long. I do remember my alarm going off at 8am. I blinked and then woke up at 10am. Today's weight is a good weigh in as it is the lowest weight of the year so far. Since I slept in and had a hard time getting up and going I didn't have time to drink as much coffee as I normally would have. I had the strip steak and eggs. I didn't get a chance to cook the eggs as thoroughly as I normally would have. The flavor of easy cooked eggs are good, but they're harder to eat in a hurry. And all during the first half of the day at work I was just dead tired. There were some seriously busy moments, but there wa...

Weight: 328.4 lbs ( 148.9 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Strip steak and Eggs Lunch: AI Chili Dinner: KC Strip Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Sober Month 8 (Day 261) Keto Week 2 (Day 16) The scale was giving me a lot of different numbers again today, but then I noticed that I wasn't standing on the very middle when I corrected the way I stood on it the scale started giving me a constant number. Which was a really good number. The waist is also gone down a bit as well. I had noticed that the gut seemed to be a big “saggier” (a bit amazed that saggier is an actual word) Had some moments when the lower part of my gut had gotten uncomfortable against my belt. But only when I sit down too long. I did the steak and eggs again today as the steaks that I bought the other day was a three pack so I'll finish that off tomorrow...maybe, the steak I had this morning did have a bit of a smell to it so...

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...

When I woke up properly he had called me on the phone to have me bring him some bananas and trash bags, I'll admit when I saw that he was calling me I was kind of worried that he was about to say that he needed to go to the hospital. But no he just has a stomach bug. I wondered what he could have eaten to get sick as I did cook dinner last night. But then I remembered that he had ordered some Taco Bell for his lunch yesterday. Not saying that's the cause of his illness, but I will say that I'm not sick. It's kind of fun when the weight is down exactly one pound. Some of the p...

Working 9:45am to 7pm. So the morning routine was kind of rushed. I only had time to scarf the bacon and eggs and most of one cup of coffee. The funny thing is that the reason that I was supposed to work early was because the Customer Service Management were all supposed to go to a meeting about how they're going to change up all of the lottery stuff. What are they going to do with the lottery? Well that's what they're going to talk about in the meeting. But they rescheduled the meeting and who knows when the meeting is going to be. I'm a bit bummed that the seltzer that I've been buying all year long that was on sale for $3.99 the sale h...

I'm hoping that'll just make September look better. Fairly certain that a good chunk of the weight gain this morning is due to seasonal allergies head is quite full of snot this morning. Not really a remarkable day. Yeah, it was Labor Day. And I did have some people point out the “irony” that I was working on labor day. But not as much as I was expecting. Kind of low mental energy all day today. I grabbed a scrap of paper to take notes of the day, but didn't write anything down. My left foot and left hip were really getting sore by the end of the evening at work Really tired today. Not sure if I'm just recovering from vacation, getting eff...

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 ...

Last night just after I posted one got caught on the fly strip that I have hanging from the flower hook I have on my living room ceiling. Damned thing was buzzing like a live wire. Roommate was screaming at the toilet again this morning. As I was awoken early and I'm working later than normal (12-9 instead of the usual 11-8) I decided to go ahead and thaw out the freezer as the ham steaks and vacuum sealed ground beef that I had in the fridge seemed to have started bloating their packaging. This is a sign of out gassing which is a sign of rot. The fridge has been warmer than it should have been over the last couple of days but t...

We had the same plunger for the 15 years (?) that we've lived here, but now we're on our third one this year. I don't know what he's doing in there. I personally have had no problems ever flushing, but it seems like every other time he's in there he's going at it again. With the combination of interrupted sleep due to Roommate screeching and the fact that I had to work 10am to 7pm today I didn't wake up early enough time to have coffee. I did have time to scarf down bacon and eggs and a can of Sugar Free Mons...

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...

As of 11:45 no sign of the check being returned or any overdraft/return check fee. Still holding my breath on that. The lady from the bank yesterday might be right about them skipping the fee because the paycheck came through before Midnight last night/this morning. But the paycheck still shows as “Pending” but the Rent check doesn't show as pending anymore. So I'm still budgeting for the $29 fee. I haven't told Roommate or Landlord yet because if it goes through it isn't going to bother anybody.  I stood on the scale before breakfast, but was too distracted by financials to measure the wais...

Which was Wednesday last week. And if I'm understanding the Labels that I'm putting on this post the 53 inch (134.6 cm) waistline might be the lowest measurement of that.  Sleep wasn't that great last night. I'm going to guess that has to do with the fact that I had a pot of coffee in the afternoon and over the evening I had a pitcher of unsweetened tea. I usually have the coffee in the morning with breakfast, but I was running around too much to have ...

And trust me that I've had to learn to save my work several times over the last couple of days. 2025 looks like it's going to be a fascinating year. This year started with highest weights ever recorded, and if the projection holds true (fingers crossed) it'll have some of the lowest weights recorded. I haven't had a year where I've averaged a weight lower than 330 lbs (150 kg) since 2015 and since 2025 started with such a high weight it's unlikely that the a...

Physically I feel okay, but brain just wants to go back to sleep. So I didn't get the Taco Chili set up this morning. But I work later tomorrow than I usually do so it'll be easier to get it set up tomorrow. Most of the stuff is canned so it will last a while, but there is some meat that goes into it that would be rather frustrating if it went bad because I was just in a blah mood for too long. At lunch Roommate was excitedly talking about all of the Minecraft mods that he downloaded was eager to start playing, but I don't know if I want to play. I just don't want to anything Trying really hard to think of anything to say. It's really kind o...

Had a lot of problems with freezing computers yesterday. What was real fun was when all six of the self checkouts and all five of the regular registers all went gray screen. Everybody in the store was screaming for me because, well, I'm the guy that fixes everything. But I have never had that happen to me before so I was kind of lost for the moment. I reset the Keto Kount yesterday because I had fallen to the temptation of buying some corn chips to go with the Instant Pot chili that I'm having for lunch this week. I was scheduled to work 10 to 7 today. I was going to set up a pot of Taco Chili before I had to go to work to h...

It took a while for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure, and that was after the rushing around to get it in the pot itself. The plan was to get the instant pot chili set up for the lunch for the week. Well, I was going to do that yesterday, but I needed to do laundry yesterday. And as it only takes 35 minutes at pressure to cook this chili and I was scheduled to work at 11:30 instead of 11am I figured that it would be fine to get that pot done before work. It was taking so long for it to get to pressure I looked it up on Reddit, and apparently the larger recipes take longer to pressurize because the entire pot has to get up to boiling ...

I keep catching myself just sitting here at the computer. I blink and it seems to be an hour and a half later. It was quite busy today at work. But the day went smoothly. There was a moment of frustration a kid that was supposed to work yesterday who had a doctors note about not being able to work for the next week or so. The manager didn't bother telling anybody until about an hour before he was supposed to come in to tell anybody that he wasn't going to be able to come in. Thankfully they were able to convince one person to stay late and another to come in on her day off. The frustration there was the guy...

Not really “sad” per say. Just not feeling anything. Just really emotionally numb. Not sure what's going on there. It's kind of like the “Seasonal Effective Disorder” that I usually struggle with during the winter but it's the middle of summer. I just have a heavy case of “Don't wanna to” I have to go to work, but I don't wanna to, I could play video games, but I don't wanna to. I've been going to bed around 10:30 or 11pm, but it's still almost 2am before I fall asleep. I'm kind of frustrated with finances. Last week I payed the water bill, this week I payed the Rent and Phone bill, next week I'll b...

We'll see if that continues Trying to think of anything to say. But when I got home my brain just shut down. Today went really smoothly. The store has a promotion for $5 dozen donuts and someone had bought several dozen for the break room. I know that I shouldn't have, but I had a couple of them during my 15 minute break as I had worked a 5:3 split today. Having donuts resets the Keto Kount. I thought about not saying anything, because nobody would know if I didn't tell anybody. But a lie of omission is still a lie, and I'd just be lying to myself. I did grab some sour cream for the Gumbo, and that did tur...

I had a Paranoid Schizophrenic come through the desk last night so that was interesting. Lady came up to the desk asking to check the balance of a gift card. It was a gift card for the store so that's one I can check the balance of. She asked if the name on the back of the card was an “Islamisist Name” It just said, “From a Friend” but it was in cursive. She insisted that Islamisists” were forcing her into homelessness and into forced prostitution. They had hacked her Social Security and was stealing her Housing Vouchers to force her into slavery. I wasn't really sure on how to h...
