Weight: 334 lbs ( 151.5 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages with Mac and Cheese Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 9 (Day 293) Last night before I went to bed Roommate told me that he had delayed his weekly appointment until 1 in the afternoon so he was planning on waking up at 8am so he could go to do laundry. So when I woke up around 8am I waited a while before showering. And then waited a while to have breakfast. And then I waited a while. I was planning on doing the grocery shopping while he was doing his laundry. But the longer I waited I kept thinking of going ahead and go do the shopping. But I kept telling myself that as soon as I left he'd get up and get cranky because I had left him at home and he couldn't go and get his laundry done. It was half past noon before I heard him get up and start walking around upsta...

Weight: 332.8 lbs ( 150.9 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Pringles Ranch Chips Lunch: Bologna Sandwiches Pringles Sour Cream onion Chips Snack: Cheesy Ramen Dinner: Tuna Helper Cheesy Noodle Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 9 (Day 291) Not a very productive day today. I'm getting the feeling that at the end of this week I'm going to be disappointed that I didn't do anything. This is the last week of vacation that I have for the year, and I'm pretty sure that I'm just going to be counting down the days until it's done. I started cleaning the kitchen and I thought that it'd be good to spend the week doing a deep clean of the apartment. But then I sat down at the computer and didn't do much else. Perhaps I'll get to the cleaning tomorrow. The area around my desk really needs to be cleaned up. I do have to say that cleaning is a cumulative action. Getting star...

Weight: 331.8 lbs ( 150.5 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Fried Chicken, Macaroni Salad Dinner: Hamburger Helper Beef Noodle with cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 291) I was scheduled to work 10-7 today so I didn't have much time to do much before work this morning. Of course I could have woken up before 8:30, but that's just the time I usually wake up. And being scheduled an hour earlier than I normally am just kind of threw off all of the morning. Frustratingly I had forgotten my watch when I left for work. So I spent the entire day staring at my wrist trying to figure out what time it was. And wow a wrist watch really comes in handy when being a supervisor. It's not hard to come across a screen with a clock on it, but it is a lot easier when it's actually on your wrist. And of course I had to work a 5/3 split so I had to spend the longer pa...

Weight: 329.4 lbs ( 149.4 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bologna Sandwiches Pringles Salt and Vinegar Chips Dinner: Loaded Mac and Cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 290) I really need to start taking advantage of my mornings. I just keep sitting around counting down how much time I have until I have to go to work and not much else. Just as I was starting to cook breakfast the maintenance guy for the condo complex startled me as just as I turned on the stove I heard a banging on the door and a frantic ringing of the doorbell. I wasn't sure what was going on and I recognized the guy. He asked if the red car in the parking lot was mine. I was a bit nervous for the asking. He asked me if I had any other cars. I was getting scared why he was asking about my car. Be he just said that he was repainting the lines and numbers on the parking lot for the building. ...

Weight: 328.4 lbs ( 148.9 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bologna Sandwiches Pringles Cheddar Sour Cream Chips Dinner: Chuck Roast with mushroom gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 289) I was surprised to see the lower number on the scale this morning. I was thinking that the scale was glitching again. But it gave a consistent number over the several times I stepped on it. I didn't do much before work again today. I've just been having a hard time gauging the passage of time. I was sitting here at the computer playing with the spending spreadsheet and weigh in spreadsheets thinking, “oh, it's coming up on 10:30 I should probably get ready for work. OH CRAP IT'S 10:30 I NEED TO GET READY FOR WORK!” The rent check still hasn't gone through. But at least it's now in a time that I have the funds for it to go through. I only worked a hal...

Weight: 329.0 lbs ( 149.2 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bologna Sandwiches, Pringles Pizza Chips Dinner: Hormel Pork Loin Lemon Garlic Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 9 (Day 288) Woke up in a mood today. It's just that I'm waking up surviving, going back to bed, and then waking up the next day. Again, I'm not tired of surviving, it's just wearying that that's all I'm doing. I can't think of anything that I've made progress on this year. Well, I have lost 17.7 lbs (8 kg) over the year. But I just haven't done much this year. The problem with that thought it is kind of self replicating (not the right term, but I can't think of the right one) I get frustrated because I haven't done anything, and when I try to think of something to do I just think that I haven't done anything. I did try to come up with an idea of a video to work on, and a kid a...

Weight: 330.2 lbs ( 149.8 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Keto Goulash   Dinner: Chicken Alfredo, Garlic Bread Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 9 (Day 287) I woke up earlier than Roommate. I was starting to wonder what was going on, but then he said that his appointment was at 9:15am today instead of the usual 8am. I was quite annoyed at myself after I dropped him off at his appointment. I usually go to do the grocery shopping while he's at his appointment. I had driven all of the way to the big store on the other side of town as it was in the direction of the hospital and I knew that I needed to pick up a new AC Filter. But as soon as I got there I got my phone out and saw that I had forgotten to write the grocery list into the notes app. So I had to run all of the way back home to write down my grocery list. I have the shopping list written up in a spreadsheet and as I come up with...
