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: 306.1 lbs ( 138.8 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: X Lunch: Bratwursts, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, 20oz Diet Dr Pepper Sober Year 1 (Day 575) Keto Month 4 (Day 136) (186/365 Days 2026 Keto) Weight was up a little bit this morning, but within the normal fluctuation range. Kind of to be expected with the amount of salty food and drink I consumed yesterday. I forgot to mention in yesterday's post a customer noticed that I was losing weight and asked me for my secret. I told her that I was focusing on Keto, pretty close to carnivore as I don't expect people to recognize the term “Ketovore” and she sneered at the idea of doing carnivore because supposedly her ex-husband was doing carnivore and he was just going around drinking glasses of blood. I don't know of any vampiric tendencies in the carnivore community, but for me I just stick to the meat. She just shutdown any...

Weight: 304.0 lbs ( 137.9 kg) BMI: 39 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: X Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 574) Keto Month 4 (Day 135) (185/365 Days 2026 Keto) Got distracted by Fallout New Vegas. So won't be able to say much in this post. But good to see the weight finally go in the right direction. Didn't track time very well this morning so I didn't have time to cook anything for lunch today. So I grabbed some hot dogs, pork rinds, and queso for lunch. I don't know why it took so long for me to try the combination of pork rinds and queso. There was a crazy lady at the store. She spent about four hours shopping up two whole cart loads of groceries with two little children I feel bad for the kids trapped in the cart with the crazy lady. People were saying that her children were running around throwing stuff into her cart. When she finally ...

Weight: 311.0 lbs ( 141.0 kg) BMI: 39.9 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Bratwursts, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 571) Keto Month 4 (Day 132) (182/365 Days 2026 Keto) Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Once I fell asleep I was down, but flopped around quite a bit. Had a strange dream this morning. I don't remember much about it as I didn't have time to write it down this morning before work. I do remember that it took place in the house that I grew up in my teens. I remember yelling at Roommate about how he was having other people were moving in without consulting me. I remember yelling in the dream and jumping awake hoping that I wasn't yelling out in my sleep as soon as I woke up I realized it was a dream. I worked 10:30 to 7:30 so that was two hours after I woke up to do anything, but I just couldn't wake up. I had psyched myself against doing ...

Weight: 310.1 lbs ( 140.6 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Italian Dressing Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Jar Queso, Pork Rinds Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 570) Keto Month 4 (Day 131) (181/365 Days 2026 Keto) First time in a while when I went to bed and immediately fell asleep and then slept all of the way through the night. Tooth still hurt a little bit, not as bad as previous days. Again I thought about going ahead and skipping that dentist appointment on Tuesday. But that's just being cowardly. Tooth flaring up like that really needs to be addressed. It's just a new thing that I've never done before so I am a little nervous about it. I did sleep well last night, but the sleep just kind of stuck around for a while. I worked 12 to 9 and before work I just kind of sat here not doing much. Not really tired, tired. Just hard to build mental momentum to do an...

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...

Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 137.2 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Beddar with cheddar sausages dipped in Queso Dinner: Kroger Cheddar Bratwursts dipped in Queso Drinks: Pot of coffee. ~4000 ml water      Got the weigh in video done this morning. Was kind of impressed that I was down from last week, but it was up 5 pounds from yesterday. I'm pretty sure that the up has to do with the clothes I wear for the videos. So I'm not too worried about the up today.      Was kind of annoyed when I got to work. I forgot my phone and my water bottle. But when I got to work there was a note on today's daily schedule saying that water bottles are not allowed at the registers. Technically this was always the case. But some of the managers looked the other way when someone had some water with them. But now they're cracking down on it. This is a bit annoying because I was getting my water drank because I had just b...

  Didn't get a chance to stand on the scale this morning Breakfast: Doritos w/Queso Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages, Macaroni Salad Drinks: 2x Sparkling waters, 2x Kroger Energy shots, 2L Pepsi Zero Wild Cherry Dinner: Pork steaks      Finished off the Doritos and queso for breakfast this morning I forgot about the “Don't eat unless hungry” part of the plan. I'm not going to beat myself up about it very much. It is something that I do wish I would stick to. But I'm not going to hate myself if I don't stick to it.      Macaroni Salad sounded really good during lunch. A coworker that I've told that I am wanting to do a low-carb diet asked me if macaroni salad is low-carb. I don't think that they were trying to call me out, or be snarky or anything. I just think that they were trying to make conversation. But I had to sheepishly explain that I was just falling for a craving.      It was one of those amaz...

Weight: 357.6 lbs (162.2 kg) BMI: 45.9 Waist: 58in ( 147.3 cm) WtHR: 78.3% Breakfast: X Lunch: Doritos with queso and hot dogs Drinks: 2x Kroger energy shots, Sparkling water, 4x Milwaukee's Best Dinner: WAY TOO MUCH spaghetti      Wasn't hungry for breakfast. And again, I am going to try avoiding eating if I'm not hungry. “Food is fuel” you don't put more gas in the car if the tank isn't empty.      THESE FLIES ARE GOING TO DRIVE ME INSANE! I'm not sure if it's the weather changing, or if it's that I just let my house get that bad. But when I'm sitting at my computer they are constantly swarming around my head. Strange that there are more flies around my computer than there are in the kitchen where the dirty dishes are. But I can't wait for it to get cold enough to kill these bastards off. I read online that cinnamon is one of the things that repels flies so I sprinkled that around my desk, and when I got back from the restroom I saw a fly ...
