Weight: 302.9 lbs ( 137.4 kg) BMI: 38.9 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Savage Slim Jim, Vienna Sausages Lunch: Air Fryer Pork Steak Snack: Savage Slim Jim Dinner: Pan Fried Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 581) Keto Month 4 (Day 142) (192/365 Days 2026 Keto) Down in wight this morning, but not by enough to get that excited about. I was still curious about the air fryer so I thought of cooking a pork steak for lunch. I do have to say that is a quick and convenient way to cook that steak. I was excited that the issue with the phone plugging in has seemed to clear with that cleaning I did a while back. I was trying to get the phone to connect to the car. But it still doesn't seem to want to connect. The blue tooth hasn't worked for a while, but I was hoping that the wired connection would work, but the screen just says “Can't Read Device” I'm not sure if that's an issue with the phone, the car, or...

Weight: 303.2 lbs ( 137.5 kg) BMI: 38.9 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Savage Slim Jim Vienna Sausages Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb, Pork Rinds, Queso Blanco Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Snack: Cashews Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Powerade Orange Sober Year 1 (Day 580) Keto Month 4 (Day 141) (191/365 Days 2026 Keto) It's kind of funny to be frustrated by a weight of 303.2 lbs. I was so close to the “Short Goal” yesterday and it's been so very long since I had weighed less than 300lbs (136 kg) but no today had to be up 2.8lbs (1.3 kg) I'm still down 5.6 lbs (2.5 kg) for the year and the two or three pounds is within daily fluctuations, but it would have been exciting to beat that goal. But then again if I did have a weight under 300 lbs (136 kg) I would wait for a bit to consider that goal “beaten” for a bit just because the weight fluctuates like that. The morning before work really snuck by me. I woke up at the usu...

Weight: 306.3 lbs ( 138.9 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Cashews Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Cottage Cheese  Snack: Vienna Sausages Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water,  Sober Year 1 (Day 527) Keto Month 2 (Day 90) (140/365 Days 2026 Keto) I'm pretty sure that this is the longest I've gone Keto (more or less Keto) definitely the longest I've gone sober. Talked to Uncle about 3D printing he had gotten the idea of printing off personalized ammo boxes and gun cases for people. I do feel like that is an interesting idea and more than likely a market for such items. The trick is that he was wanting estimates on how long it would take to print items of certain sizes and shapes. I have no idea, but I'm guessing that it would take about an hour or so to print off the things that he would want to print. Had time thi...

Weight: 310.8 lbs ( 141.0 kg) BMI: 39.9 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Cashews, Vienna Sausages Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Seltzer, 1.25 L Coke Zero Sober Year 1 (Day 509) Keto Month 2 (Day 72) (122/365 Days 2026 Keto) Seriously how long does it take to recover from a buffet? I kind of wonder if I should have restarted the Keto Kount when I went to the buffet on Sunday for Mother's Day. Oh well, still down 10.7 lbs since the beginning of the year and 21.6 lbs since this day last year. So still making rocking progress, but I would like it if that progress continued, or at the very least not go backwards. Woke up at pretty close to 8am like I normally do. Actually woke up before the alarm. I thought since I work an hour later than I normally do I'd just go ahead and just lay there. But the dogs had a different idea as they thought it'd be ...

Weight: 309.9 lbs ( 140.6 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Sausage Patties Eggs and Cheese Snack: Cashews, Vienna Sausages Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Snack: Cashews Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 507) Keto Month 2 (Day 70) (120/365 Days 2026 Keto) So eating at three restaurants in four days might not be great for weight loss. Kind of giggled at having “Sausage Egg and Cheese” for breakfast as that's a meal from McDonald's. Just their breakfast comes on a biscuit and I skipped the biscuit. I wasn't eager to go back to work as today was the first day back from vacation. I left a few minutes early to return some of the snack food that I bought for last weeks road trip as I didn't open the trail mix or the 2 bags of Pork Rinds. Of course I could have snacked on those over the next several days. But I really didn't want the nuts that was...

Weight: 330.4 lbs ( 149.9 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 53 in (135.9 cm)  WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Pork Steak and Eggs  Snack: Vienna Sausages Lunch: AI Chili   Snack: Pork Rinds  Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Month 8 (Day 263) Keto Week 2 (Day 18) Disappointing jump in the weight this morning. But it's still lower than most of the month so far. I'm guessing that the weight jump today was because of how much seltzer that I drank last night as I was really quite thirsty.  Breakfast was a pork steak and eggs. It wasn't a very big steak, why I chose to have it for breakfast instead of dinner. It was a strangely shaped steak so parts of it was burning while some other parts were nearly still raw. It still worked. I do have to say that the eggs cooked in beef drippings is considerably better than in the pork, but still not bad.  I wasn't very productive at work today. A ...
