Weight: 329 lbs ( 149.2 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Pork Steak and Eggs Lunch: Kroger Jalapeno and cheddar Bratwursts Dinner: Flounder Fillets American Salad and Ranch dressing Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Month 1 (Day 43) Sober Month 4 (Day 137) For breakfast I was kind of tired of bacon and eggs so I grabbed a pork steak. It was kind of a small steak. Having to quickly rewrite this post as I was playing Oblivion and had the daily Blog and the various spreadsheets open and the game froze and I had to reboot my computer. Reminding me that I should save often. Lunch was a pack of Jalapeno Cheddar Bratwursts that the store has on a limited time sale. I was playing through the Crusader Quest Line that was included in the Knights of the Nine expansion. It involves traveling from one end of the land to the other completing little tests. If the “Horse Armor” expansion was more like this I think that it would have ...

Weight: 331.2 lbs ( 151.0 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Keto Clam Chowder Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot Keto Month 1 (Day 42) Sober Month 4 (Day 136) Hitting some serious writers block on this one. Nothing really happened today. I didn't deal with any weird customers or anything. There were a lot of kids screaming their heads off. I worked a 5:3 split today, and it was too busy during the first half to take a break. It was busy but smooth.  The clams in the chowder were really chewy this afternoon. Tried to play some Minecraft after work. But wasn't in the mood for Corridor Mining and didn't really have any ideas of building anything. Decided to play some Oblivion instead. My computer is NOT going to be able to play the remake. But it still plays the 2005 version just fine. I'm just kind of doing the “Murder Hobo” thing where I'm just kind of...

Weight: 333.0 lbs ( 151.0 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cheesy Chicken Chili Snack: 3x Kroger Meat Stick Dinner: Keto Cheeseburger Helper with Taco Seasoning Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Month 1 (Day 41) Sober Month 4 (Day 135) Recorded a Store Story video this morning, but didn't get around to editing it First half of the day was quite long as I had forgotten my phone at home. I don't need to be on my phone while at work. But it did make the first half really long. Also gave me several heart attacks over the day as I would reach down to my pocket and the phone wasn't there. Took a lot of control to not buy something for lunch. I was really wanting to buy some Fried Chicken or Doritos (not sponsored) or something. I was drinking energy drinks all day long but I was just dragging ass all day long. I was craving something with a lot of flavor i...

Weight: 330.2 lbs ( 149.8 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Savage Slim Jim Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Grilled Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot, Powerade Zero Strawberry Keto Month 1 (Day 40) Sober Month 4 (Day 134) I didn't get up early enough to buy the new scale or belt. I ran by Walmart during lunch and grabbed a belt, but forgot the scale. The scale seemed to be pretty stable this morning. A bit annoyed that the weight is up this morning. It's within the realm of “daily fluctuations” so I'm not too worried about that, but today is the first day of the month so it kind of messes up the average for the month. Still amazing progress for the year, heck even compared to the average over last month. I was kind of shocked by the eggs this morning. I cooked the bacon like normal, but when I went to crack open the eggs they...

Weight: 328.0 lbs ( 148.8 kg) BMI: 42.1 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Tuna Mornay Casserole Dinner: Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Keto Month 1 (Day 39) Sober Month 4 (Day 133) I didn't get around to posting yesterday. I really slept in. I only woke up when I heard Roommate screaming at his video games. Turns out playing the games for 20 hours a day for five months straight is rough on controllers. He said that he ordered a new controller, and he insisted that he would be sending me his half of the rent this week. Which if he was buying gaming accessories without paying his half of the rent would be quite frustrating. But he did send me his half of the rent this afternoon. What's kind of fun is that since he sent it to me on a weekday, and I sent it to my bank account during business hours I'll get it tomorrow, and tomorrow is a regular payday also. I did get around to taking inventory of the food ...

Weight: 330.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Keto Month 1 (Day 37) Sober Month 4 (Day 131) The weight this morning is back over the short goal. Kind of why I'm not saying that the particular goal is “beaten” just yet. I'm not too worried about it being up today, I had a bit of a large dinner last night. Although in a couple of days when the new month comes around I think I'll set the goal down from 330 lbs (149.7 kg) to 320 lbs (145.2 kg) Not that I think that I'll drop an entire 10 lbs (4.5 kg) in a single month. Or if I think that is a sustainable rate. But I just like setting the goal in that increment Didn't do much today. I just played Minecraft. I am still corridor mining. I dug down to the bedrock and and am digging hallways every 10 meters and digging until I get to the other end of the corridor I set. I've found a ...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Broccoli Soup Dinner: Pork Loin Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Keto Month 1 (Day 36) Sober Month 4 (Day 130) Had a slight moment of euphoria this morning when I weighed in and the weight this morning was below the short target. But it faded as I had to get ready for work. At least I had time to make breakfast. I could feel the good mood deflate as I drove to work. After I clocked in I stopped in the restroom real quick, and the belt buckle snapped off. So that put me into a great mood. The jeans that I was wearing fit enough that they weren't immediately dropping off, but I had to keep adjusting them the entire first half of the day. And naturally I was working a 5:3 split today, so I had to work five hours before lunch. I ran home for lunch and grabbed the old belt that was stretched out to hell and back. The old belt is so stretched out tha...
