Weight: 338.8 lbs ( 153.7 kg) BMI: 43.5 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Fathead Lasagna   Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Peachy Keen Sober Month 6 (Day 190) Had a hard time waking up this morning. I just kind of sat here at the computer counting down the time until I had to go to work. I worked Noon to Nine closing the Customer Service Desk instead of the normal 11a-8pm Supervisor shift that I usually do. I drank an entire pot of coffee, but I'm just sitting here zoned out. I had thought a couple of times that I need to get a plan together for what I'm going to cook on Tuesday for the weekly lunch. But then I zone back out. First half of the day went really smoothly. Not sure if I should write this down. This is being logged at lunch. I worked a 3:5 split so I went to lunch at 3pm and will have to work 4 to 9. The challenge of the first half of today was that I wasn't supervisor I was s...

Weight: 332.4 lbs ( 150.7 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Skeats Rib Eye, House salad, cottage cheese, dinner roll Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Diet Coke, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 4 (Day 146) Keto Day 2 Wow, that was a drop. I'm not going to say that it was because I was back on the diet for one day, but that was a 6 lb (2.7 kg) drop the day after I got back to the diet. Eating breakfast did kind of feel like a chore. I thought it would be good to eat. But I just didn't want to. Maybe I shouldn't eat breakfast when I feel like that. I wasn't sick, I just wasn't interested in eating it. Had lunch with Grandma. It was busy at the restaurant so it was hard to have any kind of conversation. At least there wasn't any screaming children. I was glad that I was able to stick to the diet there. For the most part, I had the roll and that doesn't work well with the diet, bu...

Weight: 338.4 lbs ( 153.5 kg) BMI: 43.4 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Snack: Big Mac Casserole Dinner: Pork Spare Ribs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea Keto Day 1 Sober Month 4 (Day 145) I was expecting a call from the HVAC people today, but they never called. Roommate is getting anxious because Wednesday is supposed to get up to 95 degrees (35 C) He sent a text to Landlord to ask about the timeline of the AC getting switched out. Landlord said that he'd call HVAC people to see if they could get an ETA. Apparently the last he heard they were still getting the equipment to do the job. Landlord didn't text back until later in the evening. He's going to be here Wednesday to take out the old units and Thursday to put the new ones in. It would have been nice to get the new AC before it started getting hot, but at least we know that there's a timeline of it getting fixed. I was dead tired ...

Weight: 335 lbs ( 152 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Fried Chicken, Kroger BBQ Flavored Chips Dinner: BBQ Chuck Roast Drinks: Salted Coffee, Sugar Free Red Bull, Low Carb Monster, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 4 (Day 144) I shouldn't have had finished off the pitcher of Tea last night. Had a hard time falling asleep after posting the blog last night. Body was tired, mind was tired, brain WAS WIRED FOR SOUND. I made another pitcher of tea this morning, but I didn't have any of it after work. I'm not going to go full caffeine free, but I'm going to try to avoid it in the evening. I'll see if that helps me sleep better.  A little disappointed at the weight tracking over the last couple of day, sure I haven't been on the diet, but does it collapse so quickly if you're not that close to the diet 100% of the time? The first day back from vacation always really pisses me off. It's always a mi...

Weight: 333 lbs ( 151 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Fried Chicken Dinner: Taco Mac and Cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 4 (Day 143) Woke up in a bit of a rebellious mood so I decided to hold off on doing the Keto thing for a couple of days. If I dropped off of Sobriety I'd be disappointed (and I did have to fight that urge) Had Deli Fried Chicken for a bit of an early lunch. They had brought back the classic breading and I've been wanting to try it for a bit now. I do have to say, it is mountains above the new breading they had for a while. I was looking up how long it would take for them to install the new HVAC system and it kept showing that it could take 4 to 8 hours, there were some results that said that it could take up to five days! The paranoia made me look up why it could take that long to install it. And that's how long it would take to install a “geothermal heat pu...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Basic Chili Dinner: Texas T-Bone Steakhouse Onion Straws, 2x Dinner Rolls, Prime Rib, Salad, Loaded Mashed Potatoes Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea, Diet Pepsi Sober Month 4 (Day 142) Woke up with a bit of a headache again today, at least it faded over time today. But it does make me wonder if I'm missing something. Finished off the last of the Sugar Free Monster yesterday and I didn't want to spend more money on energy drinks and Roommate keeps brewing Green tea so that inspired me to brew some tea for myself. I would have some of his green tea, but I'm pretty sure he puts sugar in his tea. The cheese that I put into the chili at lunch kind of smelt like it had gone bad. I didn't see any mold on it, but I did end up throwing out the last little bit of that cheese that was left. I hope it doesn't make me sick as that would be ...

Weight: 332.4 lbs ( 150.8 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Rib Eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Month 1 (Day 47) Sober Month 4 (Day 141) I rerecorded that Store Story video that I was wanting to post. There is a bit of a political point in it and I got distracted by that point and got off on the tangent. And it happened a bit in the rerecord as well. But to a bit of a lesser degree. Breakfast was a little late because I recorded the video while Roommate was at his appointment and I waited for him to get home because I knew as soon as I started cooking he'd call and be ready to come home. And it was 11am by the time he called to come home and I was able to have breakfast. What was really strange was on the way home from the hospital with Roommate we drove by someone who was pulled "over" on 30th street. In our town 30th is one of the bigger roads which has double l...
