Kind of hoping that's not an indication for the next year as today's my birthday. Glad to see the scale go back down to the record weight for the year. But tomorrow I'll be doing a weigh in video which requires me to wear some clothes while recording the weigh in. Stomach was still a bit upset when I woke up this morning. I wasn't sure if it was a belch or a barf sitting right at the top of my gut. I held off on having breakfast for a bit as I didn't think that it'd be a good idea to eat the greasy food with an already upset stomach. But I decid...

Weight: 307.3 lbs ( 139.4 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: Members Mark Hot Dogs and Green Beans Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Salted Coffee, Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 490) Keto Month 1 (Day 53) (97/365 Days 2026 Keto) Tried to go to bed on time last night, but again brain just wasn't tired. Sitting at the computer I can't even keep my eyes open, but when I go to bed my brain is doing jumping jacks and back flips. Waking up this morning I think I figured out why they call that breed of dog a “shit zu” Mom's little dog Shelby was just yapping her little head off. I hadn't fallen asleep until 2:30, but there goes Shelby yapping around at around 7:45.  Good loss on the scale. The tape measure seems to have gone missing, but that number doesn't change much so I'll just assume that it's the same as yesterday's. Spent the day at the computer. Having another day where I...

Weight: 326.5 lbs ( 148.1 kg) BMI: 41.9 Waist: 54 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: AI Chili Dinner: Chuck Roast Green Beans Bagged Salad Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Month 11 (Day 355) Keto Day 4 Weight was a little up from yesterday, but down compared to the day before I was looking over the receipt from yesterday's shopping again just to see if that $17 off of a $170 order was on there and it just wasn't there. I thought I was going in a few minutes early to get that coupon situation corrected. Thankfully the lady working customer service this morning was the cashier who rang me up yesterday. I doubt that she remembered that exact coupon but she remembered that I used coupons and that none of the coupons that I used had any errors. I'm sure that it helps that she knew who I am and I have a good reputation so she went ahead and gave me credit for the coupon. What was f...

W eight: 351 lbs ( 159.2 kg) BMI: 45.1 Waist: 58 in (147.3 cm) WtHr: 78.4% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Fajita Soup with sour cream Dinner: Slow Cooked Chuck Roast with mushroom Gravy, Green Beans, Salad Drinks: Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Rockstar Sober Week 3 (Day 24) YMCA: X The Sleep record this morning showed something interesting. I did get to bed on time, more or less, and it didn't take me long to fall asleep. But the sleep record said I didn't fall asleep until almost 2 in the morning. I have a guess as to what might make the phone think that I was awake for so long. I'm thinking that it might be because I had set the phone to play some space documentaries to listen to while I drifted off. And I think that the phone saw that I was "watching YouTube videos" instead of being asleep. Clearly the phone was playing videos, and if the phone is playing a video I have to be watching it, right? There's no way I could be asleep while "watchi...

Weight: 340.2 lbs Waist: 54.5 Mood: Happy, yet slightly frustrated Breakfast: Coffee, pork chops Lunch: Bacon ranch chicken casserole Dinner: Green beans, Hamburger patties Snack: cheeseburger patties, Notes: once again I gained a bit of weight. It is slightly frustrating, I keep telling myself not to worry about the day to day fluctuations, but I get so close to making progress for the year, and then never mind. I am starting to make progress on my waist line, so I'll add that to the top stats I'm not sure why I wasn't including that anyway. I did manage to get one the recipe videos recorded like I wanted to. The recipe that I uploaded yesterday was recorded a couple of months ago. I want to be recording a video a week and uploading once a month. That way I have a long back log of videos ready to be uploaded. Spent the afternoon at Mom's house, she wants to start uploading videos. Or at least start doing live streams I'm a little ...
