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: Rib-Eye Snack: Enchilada Soup   Dinner: Taco Salad Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 381) Keto Day 1 (1/2 days 2026 Keto) It's a little annoying to reset the Keto Kount, but it is kind of fun that the days sober and the days Keto have the same “ones” number. A bit irritating that the day of the year is 2 though. That's a pretty big jump on the scale this morning. I don't think that I ate 7 pounds (3.1 kg) of food yesterday. But when I got home from Grandma's house last night eating a lot of not very keto food I was REALLY thirsty and drank quite a few cans of seltzer. But that's about 9 cans of seltzer, not counting now much I would have peed out. Oh well, it's not a good idea to try to overanalyze the day to day fluctuations. Strange that Google recognizes the word “overanalyze” but spellcheck flags it...

Weight: 321.5 lbs ( 145.8 kg) BMI: 41.3 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Snack: Black Eye Peas Breakfast: Members Mark Hot Dogs Lunch: Johnsonville Beddar with Cheddar double cheddar smoked sausages Snack: Bar-S Jumbo Jumbo Hot Dogs Dinner: Christmas at Grandmas Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 380) Keto Day 0 Had a hard time falling asleep last night, but was still able to wake up and get to work on time. Really good drop on the scale this morning. I haven't started a year under 330 (149.7 kg) since 2015. I've been lower in weight a couple of times last year. But I haven't been this constantly low for quite some time. I went ahead and updated my current goal to 310 (140.6 kg) as it's so close to the 320lb (145.2 kg) goal that it seemed silly to set that goal for the new month.  Roommate had started a tradition of eating a can of black eyed peas right at midnight. And eating an entire can of beans right before made me wake up with...

Weight: 324.1 lbs ( 147 kg) BMI: 41.6 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Enchilada Soup   Dinner: Grilled Bone In Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 379) Keto Day 2 The store was too busy to take many notes during the day and I spent, probably, too much time this evening getting the weigh in spreadsheets ready for the new year. Roommate was up all night last night screaming in pain. I'm a bit nervous to ask him what's wrong, only because I'm pretty sure that I already know. I'm willing to bet that his problems are something to do with his “Werther's Original Meal Replacement Plan” he's never been a big fan of the Keto/carnivore diets (The Proper Human Diet as Dr Berry calls them). He came up with the idea of whenever he gets hungry, instead of eating he'll have a piece of candy instead of eating real food. Kind of like how when people try to quit smoking they suck...

  Weight: 327.1 lbs ( 148.3 kg) BMI: 42 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Dinner: Chuck Roast with Mushroom Onion Gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 378) Keto Day 1 Buying the coffee pot and vacuum seal bags, and a couple of other things actually made the grocery bill go over budget. But I'm not too worked up over it. It's not like the more expensive things that I bought today was stuff I have to buy every week. Or at least I hope I don't have to buy a new coffee pot too often. Not sponsored but Mr Coffee>>>Toastmaster. The toastmaster coffee pot had spilled a lot whenever I poured from the carafe. The Mr Coffee carafe poured a lot more smoothly and controlled way and it brewed faster than the other pot as well. I got the stuff to make Enchilada Soup for this weeks lunch plan. That REALLY triggered Ro...

Weight: 325.5 lbs ( 147.6 kg) BMI: 41.8 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Members Mark Hot Dogs Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Taco Mac Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 377) Keto Day 0 I tried to run the coffee pot again this morning. But no, no luck there. The sound it made is the sound it makes when the water is used up, but the tank is still full of water and the little stream of fluid that comes out is this nasty looking black fluid. Not coffee black, but darker. I'm guessing that there's a clog in the system somewhere. I'm more than a little annoyed by the coffee pot dying. The last coffee pot lasted like 10 years, and this one couldn't even last 10 months. I did think about getting back to the “Decaffeination” blog. But I did just buy two rather large cans of coffee and a new pot will just be about $25 (not sponsored) Spent a lot of time at the computer today, but it w...

I saw a clip on Facebook of another town their power lines are sparking as they sway in the wind. Praying that their (an our) power stays on. Coffee pot decided to give up the ghost this morning. That and some of the videos that I've been coming across about how caffeine blocks some nutrients kind of makes me think of getting back to the roots of this blog. When I started this it was to be a “Decaffenation” blog (lol the spell check wants to correct it to “Defecation”) Roommate let his dog out of his bedroom, but he didn't come downstairs. I went ahead and took the dog out because Dog was whining pretty hard ...

I'm working 10-7 today so a little bit earlier than I'm used to. And I did wake up naturally right at 8am, but I kept trying to tell myself that I have less time than normal to get things done. It was like my brain was saying, “we need to get up and hurry!” and my body was like, “cool, cool story bro” The weight has tracked up over the last couple of days, but not nearly as much as the last several years. In the previous years I had thought that it was because of the onset of winter. When I did get up and going and took my watch off to put it on the charging pad I noticed that there was some puss on the inside of my wrist. I had noticed a sore developing where the buckle (?) is on my wrist and it s...
