Weight: 324.2 lbs ( 147.0 kg) BMI: 41.6 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: X Lunch: AI Chili Members Mark Hot Dogs Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Sugar Free Red Bull, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 372) Keto Day 2 I got to sleep pretty quickly last night, but the watch gave me a pretty low “sleep score” for last night because I woke up early and there seemed to be some updates during the night so it interrupted the tracking. I didn't wake up, but it didn't track my sleeping so it gave me a bad score because it didn't track any sleep several times over the night. I was able to wake up pretty good this morning before work. I was kind of worried as I was scheduled to come in at 7am which is quite a bit earlier than I usually work. I did buy a Sugar Free red bull the other day when I got groceries. I drank that this morning as I woke up, but I don't think that it was really necessary. I didn't have time to have proper breakfast thou...

I thought I was going in a few minutes early to get that coupon situation corrected. Thankfully the lady working customer service this morning was the cashier who rang me up yesterday. I doubt that she remembered that exact coupon but she remembered that I used coupons and that none of the coupons that I used had any errors. I'm sure that it helps that she knew who I am and I have a good reputation so she went ahead and gave me credit for the coupon. What was f...

By the time roommate had to go to his appointment and I did the grocery shopping it was close to 1 in the afternoon by the time I was able to eat so I decided to combine breakfast and lunch together and made the “Egg Stuff” scrambled eggs as I had six eggs left from the eggs Mom gave me back on Thanksgiving. I picked up some eggs and bacon when I got groceries this afternoon. That was a really good drop on the scale this morning. A frustration when I got groceries I had a coupon for $17 off of a $170 order and some other coupons (not sponsored) so I bought more than I...

So I wanted to cut that off before it got that bad. I did wake up in the middle of the night and had to take the socks off of my hands because my hands were getting uncomfortably hot. I did think about getting some cloth gloves some time in the next couple of days or weeks. Just so I could wear something over my hands, but be able to use my hands as the socks over my hands kind of restricts what I am able to do and they're really just not very comfortable on the hands. Not a fantastic number on the...

She said that her boyfriend was in town so she was staying with him. And her back hurt as she had slept on the concrete floor. She said that she and her boyfriend had deiced to stay at one of his friends house. But they didn't want to bother his friend so they stayed in their garage. She said that he had a cot that he slept on, but the cot wasn't big enough for the both of them so her boyfriend forced her to sleep on the garage floor. I have to say, that doesn't sound very manly. If you have a cot that only holds one and a girlfriend, your girlfriend is sleeping on the cot and you're sleeping on the ground. But also she has a ho...

I was scheduled to work 12 to 9pm last night and when I got home I just kind of sat down and shut down for a while. By the time I recovered and started writing the blog out it was too late to post. Of course there's nothing to say that I couldn't post after Midnight. But it just doesn't feel right. I've been in a really negative mood recently. Not even in the “Mark Whines About Work” way. Not sure how to explain it, I was in a really heavy “don't wanna to” mood over the last couple of days. I've recovered from that sinus crap that I had last week. But mentally I just really DON'T WANT to do anything. Do I want ...

And the filter isn't due to be changed until the end of the year, but it's good to have those in on time. I bought a four pack so the entire year's filters are bought and paid for, for the next year. Brain was kind of autopilot today. I was scheduled Noon to 9pm this afternoon/evening. I covered the Self Checkout for an hour, then I was a carryout for an hour, I was supposed to be Supervisor for three hours, but the guy running the online pickup had me cover his lunch break for an hour. I was kind of concerned because there was a compilation of orders that...

Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Tater Tot Casserole Dinner: Mississippi Roast Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 11 (Day 347) I woke up yesterday with a heavy case of the “don't wanna to's” I was just had no momentum to do anything. I did start getting things done later in the evening, but I didn't realize that it was that close to midnight when I was wrapping up the post for yesterday and it was 11:59 when I was done writing in the writing program that I use on my computer so I didn't have the time to post it. I'm not sure if it was because I was still recovering from the sinus issues that I was suffering from last week. I did manage to finish and schedule the upload of the Archive video that I'm planning on for the January Archive video. My second YouTube channel is focused on Recipe Videos and I'm re-uploading the old videos from my first channel to...
