Weight: 348.8 lbs ( 158.2 kg) BMI: 44.8 Waist: 59 in (149.9 cm) WtHr: 79.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Fathead Lasagna Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 1 Sober Month 1 (Day 56) Today was surprisingly busy for an off day. I was a bit slow to the start. But once I had breakfast I thawed out the freezer. For as dry as my hands have been lately it's surprising how much ice had built up in my freezer. Probably because I keep opening up the freezer. I don't know why I keep opening up and looking into the freezer, I make a meal plan each week. I could have been a bit better on the plan for the last couple of days but there's no reason to open up the freezer and stare like I've been doing. I decided to get back to the diet today. I did think about waiting for a “good day” to reset. (Wait for Sunday, waiting for an even day on the Sober Day Count, etc.) But like back in Decemb...

Weight: 347 lbs ( 157.4 kg) BMI: 44.5 Waist: 59 in (149.9 cm) WtHr: 79.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Deli Fried Chicken, Pringles Cheddar Dinner: Shrimp Alfredo Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, 20oz Dr Pepper, Kroger Energy Shot, Powerade Lemon Lime Keto Day 0 Sober Month 1 (Day 55) Grandma was nice enough to give me some money yesterday for taking down her Christmas lights so I ran by the bank to deposit it. And while I was there I transferred money from my savings accounts as I am expecting the rent check to come through this week. The lady at the bank told me that since my savings accounts are below $100 each all three of them are going to have the minimum amount fee. I know, every month they charge my savings accounts $3 each if the balance ever goes below $100 during the month. It kinda sucks, but what can I do, I haven't been able to save up like I've been wanting to. But apparently there's a different kind of savings ...

Weight: 345.4 lbs ( 156.7 kg) BMI: 44.3 Waist: 57.5 in (146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Taco Meat Mix Dinner: Papa Johns Pizza Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Keto Day 0 Sober Month 1 (Day 54) Struggling with writers block on this one. I'm sitting here at my computer just kind of drifting off. It will always be Christmas in our hearts, but it's February on the calendar and my Grandma was wanting me to take down her Nativity Scene. I normally would have taken it down a lot earlier, but every time I had a day off we've been having snow storms. There were some days that it was really nice outside, but then I had to work. She told me that I didn't have to bother with taking down her lights today and I could come out and take those down some other day. But I don't like leaving things half done. And honestly taking down her lights are the easiest part. After taking Grandma's decorations down I talked with Mom for a bit as she li...

Weight: 345.8 lbs ( 156.7 kg) BMI: 44.4 Waist: 58 in (147.3 cm) WtHr: 78.4% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: AI Cheesy Spinach Sausage Bake Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Week 1 (Day 14) Sober Month 1 (Day 53) I was scheduled to work 10-7 today. But there is a new lady who was scheduled to close the desk this evening and she's been having a hard time getting it done correctly and today is Saturday so if things are off tonight they'll be off for Sunday and that could throw off things for all of next week. I was a bit confused when they called me from the store to ask me to stay late because they asked me to come in “an hour later and stay until 9” Well if I'm scheduled to come in at 10 and I come in an hour later and stay until 9 that would mean that I would be working from 11 to 9pm. And no thanks. I usually work 11-8 so that must have confused them.  Roommate did some grocery shopping this mornin...

Weight: 345.8 lbs ( 156.8 kg) BMI: 44.4 Waist: 58 in (147.3 cm) WtHr: 78.4% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: AI Chili Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Seltzer, Propel Kiwi Strawberry, Propel Berry Keto Week 1 (Day 13) Sober Month 1 (Day 52) This week might not look like it, but my sinuses are telling me that spring is on its way. Today is up 2.4lbs (1 kg) but I'm pretty sure that is mostly snot in my head. I'm also a bit frustrated that the waist is up also. But fluctuations happen. I didn't have coffee again today as just as I was finishing the bacon and eggs Roommate came downstairs and announced that his nurse was on the way. I helped him wrangle his dog into his room but then I had to go to work. And good gravy everybody else came into the store also. I am so glad that nobody complained to me about it being busy. There's a promotion for 4x Fuel Points on Friday, the Super Bowl is this weekend, and they're talking about snow next wee...

Weight: 342.6 lbs ( 155.4 kg) BMI: 44.3 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs  Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages, Queso Pork Rinds Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot, Powerade Zero Orange, Propel Water Berry Keto Week 1 (Day 12) Sober Month 1 (Day 51) Slow start this morning. Didn't have time to make coffee. I am curious as to if there are any other chemicals in Coffee that make you feel good. Sure there is caffeine, but it's not like Coffee is just caffeine and water. That might go onto the Research “To Do List” I was fine when I got to work, but when I got to work I grabbed a can of Sugar Free Monster and I had one at lunch. But later in the evening I was dragging hard . I had an energy shot and a Powerade, and then a Propel. But still by the end of the night I was just no other description, but down. I also wonder if the “Down” later in the second half of the day was due to lunch. The l...

There are several carts that have screws sticking out of the side of the wheel that when they roll around they squeak as it goes by the wheel brace. I swear that they just glance at the cart, see that it has four wheels that go around and bring it back up to the front. Oh well, at least it will be a week or two without that “Squeak, squeak, squeak” that drives everybody in the store insane. But as I was coming back up to the front I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking and I caught the stores gas meter right against my left thigh. There's a pretty good sized bruise there now. A bruise that I'm constantly poking at. Of cours...
