Weight: 324.4 lbs ( 147.1 kg) BMI: 41.6 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Enchilada Soup   Dinner: Turkey Taco Mac Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 384) Keto Day 0 (3/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good drop on the scale this morning. It's not down below the beginning of the year so no progress yet. But at least the highest projection so far is under a full ton (849.3 lbs <385.2 kg>) The waist is back down to 54 inches (137.2 cm) so I'm not sure what was going on yesterday. The waist is usually pretty stable, so I'm not sure why it'd be up 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) one day and then down 2.5 inches (6.4) the next. The money Roommate sent me on Friday night for Rent and Bills came through this morning so I went ahead and did the grocery shopping for the week and renewed the YouTube Premium. I didn't tell Roommate that I made those purchases as it would look like I used the money he gave me for ...

Weight: 325.5 lbs ( 147.6 kg) BMI: 41.8 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Members Mark Hot Dogs Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Taco Mac Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 377) Keto Day 0 I tried to run the coffee pot again this morning. But no, no luck there. The sound it made is the sound it makes when the water is used up, but the tank is still full of water and the little stream of fluid that comes out is this nasty looking black fluid. Not coffee black, but darker. I'm guessing that there's a clog in the system somewhere. I'm more than a little annoyed by the coffee pot dying. The last coffee pot lasted like 10 years, and this one couldn't even last 10 months. I did think about getting back to the “Decaffeination” blog. But I did just buy two rather large cans of coffee and a new pot will just be about $25 (not sponsored) Spent a lot of time at the computer today, but it w...

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Kroger Cheddar Bratwursts Dinner: Taco Mac and Cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee with cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Unsweetened Tea, Milk Sober Month 6 (Day 192) Keto Day 0 Had a hard time getting going today. Woke up with what felt like a hangover. Just couldn't get up and moving. It was 2 in the afternoon by the time I started doing anything. I had a stifling headache all day. I made some Taco Casseroles for the weekly lunch plan. The recipe says that it makes Six Servings. But I think that those are six servings with a salad and a veggie side. I went ahead and made two batches with two servings per dish that I put into the fridge so it would last me all week. It took me a bit longer than I thought it would to cook the two batches of the casserole which is strange because it was just a matter of browning the ground beef, mixing it all together, and then ba...

Weight: 333 lbs ( 151 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Fried Chicken Dinner: Taco Mac and Cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 4 (Day 143) Woke up in a bit of a rebellious mood so I decided to hold off on doing the Keto thing for a couple of days. If I dropped off of Sobriety I'd be disappointed (and I did have to fight that urge) Had Deli Fried Chicken for a bit of an early lunch. They had brought back the classic breading and I've been wanting to try it for a bit now. I do have to say, it is mountains above the new breading they had for a while. I was looking up how long it would take for them to install the new HVAC system and it kept showing that it could take 4 to 8 hours, there were some results that said that it could take up to five days! The paranoia made me look up why it could take that long to install it. And that's how long it would take to install a “geothermal heat pu...

Weight: 336.6 lbs ( 152.7 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Spangles Jalapeno Bacon Cheeseburger meal with ranch flavored fries Dinner: Mac and cheese with hot dogs and taco seasoning Drinks: Pot of coffee, Kroger energy shot, 3600ml water      Got a Sunday weigh in video done. As I was not following the diet at all it wasn't a very good weigh in this week. I've been kind of a rebellious streak lately and my legs and wallet have been feeling it. I did get the video done in time to cook and eat breakfast but didn't have time to upload it before work.      On lunch break I ran home to upload it, it was kind of funny to run by a fast food place to grab a burger on the way to upload a weigh in video. But nearly $12 for one meal was just unwise.      Can't really think of anything to say today. Most of today was just kind of spent waiting for it to end. The weather forecast called for...
