I’ve been able to maintain my weight for about a year now. I’ve stayed around 300lbs. I know I have some sort of inability to control portions. I eat & eat until I’m past full. Sometimes I eat when I’m pissed or emotional about whatever. I finally figured out in the past year that isn’t going to fly if I ever want to see what its like to be…to be what exactly I didn’t know what I was going to type just there. Normal? Not fat? Skinny? Healthy? The last one is most accurate. Healthy. I did a fair amount of keto last year “2018” and along with a pill called Phentramine I was able to drop close to 100lbs. I was around 400lbs+. I don’t exactly have a label to put on my diet changes other then it’s different. I’m making myself more aware of the mistakes I make sooner then to late. I do some “Keto” meaning consuming 20-50 grams of carbs per day. I eat a high protein diet & made a lot of small changes. I drink more water & coffee. My wife & I recently found “Mug Cakes”. This shit changed my life honestly. I’m a cake man. Take that for what you will but if it’s there I will eat that shit. So mug cakes. They are quick to make, require very little & cook in the microwave in 90 seconds. We added blueberries last night and that shit blew my mind.

Table time! Let me clairfy what that is from my last post. It’s time me & my wife sit aside 2 times a week to just connect. Whether its talking, listening to an audio book or playing a board game. It sounds ridiculous that you need to “set” aside time but when you live a full life of 3 kids & a 40hr a week job shit gets far more complicated then you ever thought imaginable. I think it’s time to make another mug cake. I will leave a recipe at the bottom & possibly make another post with a picture of my masterpiece!

It’s funny when you think about starting a blog; all the thoughts you have. All the things you could talk about & type. When you sit down behind a computer at the end of your crazy ass day, they suddenly don’t come so easy. Tomorrow is Monday another start to the work week. A few days and its February. I don’t understand where the time goes anymore to be honest. That’s one thought that gets me. Every week is almost identical in nature, and it flies by. I felt like starting a blog for a few reasons. Like it’s a great place to just type shit that absolutely nobody will probably ever see; my brain fires out random thoughts faster then the world spins it feels like sometimes. Which makes a blog a perfect place to unload my madness. Whether it’s completely random or a subject, idea or opinion this is where its going to go now.

I decided to call my blog “Shit Happens” because I tell my 13 year old that more often then I can count. Plus its just a great statement. Shit happens all the time. Like when my 3 year old girl smashed her finger in the closet today. NO, I didn’t tell her shit happens but its just one example of it’s valuable usage. She is fine. Shit does happen though. Shit changes people. That’s another reason for making my blog. I’ve changed so much about my life in the past 3 years, I almost don’t know my own identity sometimes. Don’t take that the wrong way, every change that has happened or I have accomplished is a great stepping stone. I don’t have hobbies anymore and maybe making a blog could become one. Maybe I can find something for myself through typing out this crazy madness.

It’s table time tonight. I have to stop typing now!
