Weight: ? lbs ( ? kg) BMI: ? Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Pork Steak Lunch: Pizza Pasta Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Mocha Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 11 (Day 340) Slow start to the day. Some gunk in the back of my throat making my throat sore. Along with some sinus congestion. Ran out of bacon a couple of days ago so yesterday and today I had a pork steak for breakfast. I was going to have eggs to go with, but those steaks were pretty sizable so having a plate sized pork steak with four fried eggs seemed like a lot. I had just finished cooking the breakfast steak when Roommate came downstairs and announced that his doctors appointment this week is at 10am instead of the 11am it had been in the last couple of weeks and we needed to leave right then because it was just time to leave to get to his appointment. I put a lid on the skillet and since I have an electric stove the burner was still hot when I got back f...

Weight: ? lbs ( ? kg) BMI: ? Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Leftover Thanksgiving Ham, Chicken and Noodles Lunch: Pizza Pasta Dinner: St Louis Style Pork Ribs Drinks: Salted Mocha Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 11 (Day 337) Wow, that wind is going crazy out there. I woke up this morning to a notification of a “Wind Advisory” on my phone we've been having wind gusts going up to 45 mph (72 kph) Back on Thanksgiving I told my Grandma that I was planning on putting up her Christmas decorations this coming Friday. She insisted that she did NOT want me up on her roof if the weather is bad. I thought about teasingly call her this morning and ask if I should go ahead and put them up today. With the 45 mph wind gusts. I know that she would have said no, but it would have been fun to mess with her. But I could just not wake up today. I had the regular bacon and eggs for breakfast. With breakfast I put a pack of Hot Chocolate...

My head feels like it was hit by a baseball bat from the inside. And my legs are stiff and sore. My throat was sore the last couple of days, it doesn't hurt this morning so I don't think that I'm getting sick, I just think that I overate yesterday and I'm recovering today. I wasn't looking forward to going to work this morning. I thought that I was working the self checkout lunch. I wasn't feeling good and I wasn't looking forward to dealing with other people who are also probably recovering from over eating yesterday. I knew that I feel bad, and I don't know if other people will realize that they feel bad and will try to blame everybody else for the way they feel...

Weight: 323.2 lbs ( 147.4 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken   Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 11 (Day 334) Great number on the scale this morning. Especially since I had Chicken Alfredo for lunch the entire week last week. And the scale gave me the same number three times in a row, so it wasn't glitching. I was debating on whether to or not to try to go back to the AI to try to get it to do the financial projection again. But I looked over the code...none of the bills listed in the code that it generated were the bills that I had told it. I had listed the various bills I expect during the year four times over the last three weeks and it eventually just forgets the bills that I have in the projection and just makes up new bills. I figured that I was just trying to build a more flexible version of the Quicken program that I already have on my computer. (Not spo...

Weight: 325 lbs ( 147.4 kg) BMI: 41.7 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Snack: Bar-S Hot Dogs Breakfast: Mexican Chicken Alfredo Lunch: leftover Hormel Pork Loin Dinner: Hamburger Helper Spicy Garlic Parmesan Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 11 (Day 333) I didn't think that I would get to work on time this morning. I am typically scheduled to work 11am to 8pm. But this morning I was scheduled 7am to 4pm. Last night when I got off I had bought a Sugar Free Red Bull to put next to my bed so when the first alarm goes off I could slam that real quick, hoping that would help me wake up. I've read online that having multiple alarms to help you wake up is counterproductive (wow, can't believe I spelled that correctly the first time.) But I needed to make sure that I got to work. So I had set an alarm for every 15 minutes starting right at 6am. But yeah, I was able to wake up. But I didn't have time to get a proper breakfast so ...

I had spent the last couple of days with the Absolute Idiot trying to get it to do the projection correctly. It would look like it was doing the thing correctly and then I would notice that it didn't have the bills in the projection. And including the bills into the projection just broke everything. The main frustration was that I am using the free version of the site so I would have to do as much as it would let me do and then I would have to wait for the timer to reset, which would take several hours. It was starting to get kind of annoying as I would ask it to do something, it would ask for guidance on how it would ...

Weight: 323.2 lbs ( 146.6 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer,Sugar Free Monster, Large Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 10 (Day 328) It was exciting to weigh in this morning as this is the lowest weight in the last two years. Heck, it's the lowest weight of the 2020's decade if I'm looking at my numbers right. And this time over 2024 and 2023 I was gaining considerably amounts of weight. Kind of blows my theory that the reason that I was gaining weight this time of year my body was getting ready for winter. I know that humans don't hibernate, but I would have assumed that we do have some of feature that would add some insulation in the winter. But no I was just eating and drinking too much in the previous years. (definitely drinking too much) It was exciting to do the grocery shopping as the total came to $92 when I usually budget for $150. It'...

I really need to work on that habit. First day back to work. It had the curse of the supervisor. It was boring, but boring is good because boring means that nothing is going wrong. But wow was that boring. My left foot was a whole lot happier when I was on vacation. People kept noting that I had been gone for a while. I was kind of hesitant to tell people that I was on vacation. As inevitably people will ask where I went for vacation. Being f acetious I'll just tell people the name of the town that we live in. I'm not sure if they understood what I was saying though because the only response I got was, “Wow, that sounds like fun!” W...

But then I just didn't. I really just sat here at the computer playing phone games. I kept telling myself that I could open up the list of videos that I could work on, but I never find the mental energy to do so. I did kind of half pay attention to some game announcements. A lot of people are talking about some major announcements that are supposed to happen with the Halo video game franchise in the next couple of weeks. So that's something to look forward to. (Not that my computer would be able to run any new games) The notice for my car's registration tags came in the mail today. It was $80 lower...

Weight: 333.8 lbs ( 151.4 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bologna Sandwiches Snack: Kroger Cheddar Sour Cream Chips Lunch: Bologna Sandwich Cheesy Ramen Dinner: Pork Steak Mac and Cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 9 (Day 296) Pleasantly surprised by the drop on the scale this morning. I had thought that the scale was glitching again, but it gave a consistent number each time I stepped on it. I slept in considerably later than I normally do. It is strange for me to sleep all of the way until 10:30. I'm not sure why I decided to have the sandwiches for breakfast this morning. I came to the justification that it was so late in the morning it really counted as an early lunch. But then I felt weird that I was trying to justify a meal when I woke up. Today was another day where I sat around thinking to myself that I really needed to do something. But I couldn't think of anything to do. I did run to th...

Weight: 337.4 lbs ( 153 kg) BMI: 43.3 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Taco Chili Tortilla Chips Snack: Tortilla Chips and Queso Dinner: Hamburger Helper Double Cheeseburger Macaroni  Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Budweiser Zero Sober Month 9 (Day 295) Woke up early enough to have breakfast as I did have an appointment to get the oil changed in my car this morning. I did was nervously staring at my watch all morning. The appointment was at 10am and I woke up at 8am but I spent the entire morning doing the math of how much time I had and how much time it would take to do something. And conveniently I did get a coupon in the mail a couple of days ago for an oil change for $39.99 (not sponsored) I thought that was a great deal but I had noticed that the coupon had said in the fine print that it was a $50 savings. That would mean that the base price for an oil change would be close to $80. I know that a lot of thin...

I just couldn't get myself to do anything. I felt bad because I was sitting around not doing anything, but I couldn't think of anything to do. I didn't think that I would ever say this, but I was getting bored of watching videos online. I just sat here playing games on my phone. I'm sure that on Sunday when I go back to work I'll think of all of the stuff that I could have been doing this week. A little nervous that the rent check still hasn't gone through. But this isn't the latest that it has ever floated. And it is kind of handy to have another paycheck come through before it cleared. But it would be nice if it would like to come ...

Weight: 334 lbs ( 151.5 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages with Mac and Cheese Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 9 (Day 293) Last night before I went to bed Roommate told me that he had delayed his weekly appointment until 1 in the afternoon so he was planning on waking up at 8am so he could go to do laundry. So when I woke up around 8am I waited a while before showering. And then waited a while to have breakfast. And then I waited a while. I was planning on doing the grocery shopping while he was doing his laundry. But the longer I waited I kept thinking of going ahead and go do the shopping. But I kept telling myself that as soon as I left he'd get up and get cranky because I had left him at home and he couldn't go and get his laundry done. It was half past noon before I heard him get up and start walking around upsta...

I'm getting the feeling that at the end of this week I'm going to be disappointed that I didn't do anything. This is the last week of vacation that I have for the year, and I'm pretty sure that I'm just going to be counting down the days until it's done. I started cleaning the kitchen and I thought that it'd be good to spend the week doing a deep clean of the apartment. But then I sat down at the computer and didn't do much else. Perhaps I'll get to the cleaning tomorrow. The area around my desk really needs to be cleaned up. I do have to say that cleaning is a cumulative action. Getting star...

Weight: 331.8 lbs ( 150.5 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Fried Chicken, Macaroni Salad Dinner: Hamburger Helper Beef Noodle with cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 291) I was scheduled to work 10-7 today so I didn't have much time to do much before work this morning. Of course I could have woken up before 8:30, but that's just the time I usually wake up. And being scheduled an hour earlier than I normally am just kind of threw off all of the morning. Frustratingly I had forgotten my watch when I left for work. So I spent the entire day staring at my wrist trying to figure out what time it was. And wow a wrist watch really comes in handy when being a supervisor. It's not hard to come across a screen with a clock on it, but it is a lot easier when it's actually on your wrist. And of course I had to work a 5/3 split so I had to spend the longer pa...

I just keep sitting around counting down how much time I have until I have to go to work and not much else. Just as I was starting to cook breakfast the maintenance guy for the condo complex startled me as just as I turned on the stove I heard a banging on the door and a frantic ringing of the doorbell. I wasn't sure what was going on and I recognized the guy. He asked if the red car in the parking lot was mine. I was a bit nervous for the asking. He asked me if I had any other cars. I was getting scared why he was asking about my car. Be he just said that he was repainting the lines and numbers on the parking lot for the building. ...

I was thinking that the scale was glitching again. But it gave a consistent number over the several times I stepped on it. I didn't do much before work again today. I've just been having a hard time gauging the passage of time. I was sitting here at the computer playing with the spending spreadsheet and weigh in spreadsheets thinking, “oh, it's coming up on 10:30 I should probably get ready for work. OH CRAP IT'S 10:30 I NEED TO GET READY FOR WORK!” The rent check still hasn't gone through. But at least it's now in a time that I have the funds for it to go through. I only worked a hal...

It's just that I'm waking up surviving, going back to bed, and then waking up the next day. Again, I'm not tired of surviving, it's just wearying that that's all I'm doing. I can't think of anything that I've made progress on this year. Well, I have lost 17.7 lbs (8 kg) over the year. But I just haven't done much this year. The problem with that thought it is kind of self replicating (not the right term, but I can't think of the right one) I get frustrated because I haven't done anything, and when I try to think of something to do I just think that I haven't done anything. I did try to come up with an idea of a video to work on, and a kid a...

I was starting to wonder what was going on, but then he said that his appointment was at 9:15am today instead of the usual 8am. I was quite annoyed at myself after I dropped him off at his appointment. I usually go to do the grocery shopping while he's at his appointment. I had driven all of the way to the big store on the other side of town as it was in the direction of the hospital and I knew that I needed to pick up a new AC Filter. But as soon as I got there I got my phone out and saw that I had forgotten to write the grocery list into the notes app. So I had to run all of the way back home to write down my grocery list. I have the shopping list written up in a spreadsheet and as I come up with...

And they quickly found out that there was a Soviet experiment that went sideways and there were dinosaurs all over the jungle. So it was a Vietnam war movie mixed with Jurassic Park. It, surprisingly, had a lot of character de...
