Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 4 Sober Month 3 (Day 99) YMCA: No Well, I took the car to the shop and when I said what was going on and I said that I'm praying that it just needs the oil changed the guys at the shop were really insistent that it was NOT going to be fixed by just changing the oil. And it wouldn't be a great idea to drive it back and forth too much. He did say that it would be fine to leave it at the shop until they get the chance to work on it. Some of their people are out of town on training so they wont be able to fix it today, but they'll really try to get it done tomorrow. They didn't want to give a time estimate without looking closer at the car. But they didn't seem to be worried and it didn't seem to be something that they haven't seen before. The computer ...

Weight: 338.6 lbs ( 153.6 kg) BMI: 43.5 Waist: 57.5 in (146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Keto Clam Chowder Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee with cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 3 Sober Month 3 (Day 98) YMCA: No While Roommate was at his doctors appointment this morning I did my grocery shopping. I got the stuff for a Tuna Casserole, a Keto Clam Chowder, some steaks, Fish Oil, some Cod, and some chicken. I added up the things I bought as I was shopping, but again the total was more than I added up as I was shopping. I'm trying to keep the weekly grocery bill to around $150, but again today I over spent. As I was shopping it added up to $143, but the total was $164. Not much over, but is that going to happen every week? I printed off the hand plates for the Master Chief cosplay. They're only two little hand plates, but it still took an hour and forty five minutes to print. But still a lot faster and easier than pep...

Weight: 340.8 lbs ( 154.6 kg) BMI: 43.8 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Savage Slim Jim Lunch: Fajita Soup Dinner: Chuck Roast with Onion Mushroom Gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Day 2 Sober Month 3 (Day 97) YMCA: No Woke up this morning with such a blah mood. I couldn't convince myself to get to the YMCA. I barely convinced myself to get up early enough to get breakfast. I don't know why I was in such a down mood this morning. I do seem to be getting used to the new time as I'm waking up at the 8am like I've been wanting to. But I just didn't want to get up. Looking it up Omega-3 foods are good for low moods. And Seafood seems to be a good source for that. I'm not sure if I'm hungry enough for Sardines. But I do like Salmon and I do have a recipe for Clam Chowder and Tuna Casserole. I'll pick up the stuff to make those tomorrow. The first half of the day ...

Weight: 341.2 lbs ( 154.7 kg) BMI: 43.8 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Cordon Bleu Soup Bar-S hot dogs Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 1 Sober Month 3 (Day 96) YMCA: No I legitimately cannot remember what happened today. It might be a short post as when I got home I did dishes, but some bratwursts in the oven and my brain went blank. I noticed that the weight is up quite a bit from yesterday. I'm not sure if that's because of the scale glitching like it has been doing. It did do that a bit when I first woke up, but it did finally give me a consistent number. Not a number that I like very much, but hey, that's the number that it is. And the waist line is up as well. But still under average.  Breakfast was steak and eggs. I had the pan a bit too warm so it got a bit smokey in the house this morning. Strangely the pan was too hot and smokey, but it still took a while to cook the ...

Weight: 334.4 lbs ( 151.7 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Anchor Inn Buffet Dinner: Grilled Ham Steaks Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 0 Sober Month 3 (Day 95) YMCA: No The scale was acting strangely this morning. It seemed to have a hard time picking a number. And when it did it kept giving wildly different numbers. Ranging from 345 lbs (156.5 kg) to 312 lbs (141.5 kg) But the 334.4 seemed to be the most common number that it showed. Who knows how accurate that is though. However the waist measuring tape doesn't fluctuate. And that was showing a loss. Down to 55.5 inches (141 cm) And I have noticed that the gut has been changing shape over the last couple of days. Printing the rest of the parts of the helmet went a lot faster today than it did yesterday. So the shell of the helmet is printed off. I'm going to have to research on how to glue the parts together. I've seen videos on ho...

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cheesy Chicken Chili Dinner: Pollock Drinks: Coffee with Cream and Salt, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 5 Sober Month 3 (Day 94) YMCA: No When I woke up this morning I felt both of my calves feel like they were tingeing up into charlie horse cramps. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right, but when I feel that type of cramp coming on I keep my feet straight and walk around for a moment and it usually keeps the cramp from coming on. But I did remember to take my potassium and magnesium supplements when I got up and going. I'll be honest I forgot to go to the Y this morning. It was later in the afternoon and, Oh, yeah. I was going to do something. It is kind of disappointing. When I started the week I was thinking as I am on vacation this week there isn't any excuses against going. But I only went once. I did get some help from Reddit. One ...

Weight: 337.4 lbs ( 153.0 kg) BMI: 43.3 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Tootn' Chili Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Coffee with Cream and Salt, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Day 4 Sober Month 3 (Day 93) YMCA: No I was a bit scattered today. Roommate woke me up early so I could drive him to his appointment. While he was there I worked on an AI inspired recipe. I had a hard time getting things out of the way and getting started on it so I had to go pick him up from his appointment before I was done cooking. He was agreeable to stay quiet while I finished cooking. It gave me hope that I could go ahead and do my cooking channel while he's home. It'll still be better to do it when he's out, but at least there is an option of getting it done.  He was rather upset because the nurse that usually takes care of him is out on vacation and there weren't any other nurses available so he'll have to come back...
