Weight: 336.6 lbs ( 152.7 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 55.5 in ( 141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: X Lunch: Queso Soup Dinner: Instant Pot Ribs Drinks: Pot of coffee, 12 pk Truly Hard Seltzer      Took my roommate back to the truck stop for him to go back out on the road. On the way back into town I was really craving Nachos so I swung by the store to grab a smaller chunk of Velveeta cheese to make Queso Soup. What I call Queso soup is a small container of Velveeta “cheese” with a pound of ground beef a can of the store brand version of Rotel tomatoes and a packet of taco seasoning. The roommate had left town a bit late in the morning and by the time the “soup” was cooked it was after noon so I just called that Lunch.      I was off today so I spent most of the day working on a script for a video that I want to release this Friday. Every Friday I want to release a video of the weird things that I've had to deal with while working at a grocery store. And this week ...

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Village Inn Chicken Fried Steak, eggs, Biscuits and Gravy, hash-browns Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages, Sparkling Water Dinner: Hamburger patties, Chips Drinks: 2L Pepsi Wild Cherry Zero      Today was the last day the roommate was in town and I had to pick him up from him dropping off the truck he was renting. He suggested that we go to Village Inn for breakfast. And all of the way from the rental place to the restaurant I was thinking I just need to order off of the Al Le Carte section of the menu. But when we got there I chickened out from ordering anything fancy. And it's been quite some time since I've had a chicken fried steak. The waitress asked me if I wanted pancakes or biscuits and gravy. And it's been a REALLY long time since I've had “Shit on a shingle” And those were really good buttermilk biscuits (still crappy hash-browns) so breakfast was not Keto, ...

Weight: 336.6 lbs ( 152.7 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Instant Pot Chili Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of Coffee, 2700ml water      I was a bit impatient when frying the eggs this morning so I ended up scrambling them. I threw a few slices of cheese in with them so, sure cheesy scrambled eggs with bacon. I'm sure that Chef Ramsay would have gone into seizures if he would have seen what I called “scrambled eggs”      I did manage to get the dishes done. There is a satisfying feeling looking at a cleaned room, I need to get around to cleaning more of my house. I did laundry last week and unlike the last couple of times I did laundry I put my clothes away. It seems like a simple thing, but it really does make a difference when waking up looking at a room full of clean clothes in baskets waiting to be put away and the dirty clothes everywhere vs clothes put away and the few days of clothes in th...

Weight: 338.8 lbs ( 153.7 kg) BMI: 43.5 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Taco John's Meat and Potato Burrito with a soft shell taco and cheese with the Oles, Dr Pepper Dinner: Kroger Cheddar Bratwursts Drinks: Pot of Coffee, Kroger energy shot      I didn't start the blog this morning. When I stood on the scale and it said 338.8 lbs I thought about giving up the blog thing altogether. I haven't been doing my diet the last several days and why even bother doing a Keto blog if I'm not even doing Keto? I keep telling myself that I'm not a failure just because I'm not following a diet, or just because I have some weigh ins that are tracking upwards. But honestly I'm not sure how much of that is telling myself that or how much I'm believing that. I need to get more done in my life. I do have several videos that I want to work on if I ever find the energy to do. I have dreams of being a YouTuber, but that'll only h...

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...

Weight: 332.6lbs ( 150.9 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Fried Chicken, Macaroni Salad Dinner: Velveeta Ultimate Cheeseburger Drinks: ¾ pot of coffee, 2x Kroger Energy Shot      I think I was feeling the effects of yesterday's bag of chips in my thighs today. Getting up and moving I felt like the way the old videos of astronauts on the moon looked like when they were walking around. My legs felt like they were ten times thicker than they were, and each leg feels like they weigh a ton a piece. And while writing this out I was distracted by the skin on the back of my hands, when I lift up on my fingers there's big chunks of rolling flesh on the back of my hands. But I don't know how much of that is inflammation due to not following my diet, or just dry skin due to the time of year. My hands seem to be really dry and every time I wash my hands it just seems to get worse. And I work at a grocery store so I wash my hands...
