Week 17

Sunday 20th April 2025

Weight = 105.8 kgs

Steps = 11498

So this morning I woke up after another night of no asthma at just after 7 am and got up and did my first weigh-in post fast and I was up 0.3 kgs to 105.8 kgs which I will take after eating as much as I did yesterday after 3 days of no food!

I am now getting ready to go for a walk along the 2 tunnels for a bit to get some steps in as I have been really slack on walking over my holidays so I need to get back to it! I went for a quick 30 minute walk and walked 1.77 miles and did 3642 steps according to Strava and I got my back moving so its hurting less now.

When I got home I got a message to say that my friend and his wife were on their way over to go for a bike ride so I jumped in the shower to free my back up then got dressed in my riding stuff and was just going to the garage to get my bike when they turned up so perfect timing.

We then pootled along the 2 tunnels to to Wellow and back and got back about 11ish after doing 10 miles. I had forgotten how nice it was to do that so I need to start doing it regularly.

I am currently on 7999 steps for the day so I may wake my son up at 12:00 and drag him for another walk before we head over to my brother’s house at 13:30 for more roast dinners 🙂

The rest of the day I didn’t do much other then eat and drink until about 6 pm when we took the dog for a quick walk which got me over 10000 steps for the day so that was me done!

We later headed home and by the end of the day I was on 11498 steps

Monday 21st April 2025

Weight = 105.9 kgs

Over night I picked up an ear ache/ tooth ache and my back got worse so when I woke up I decided to rest today instead of do the gym or go for a walk. I got up and did my weigh-in and I am up 0.1 kgs to 105.9 kgs which isn’t too bad considering all I ate and drank over the weekend! Also another night asthma free so something I was eating was causing my asthma! My nose is getting a bit more congested but I am still able to breath through it but I hope that going full carnivore will sort that up as I have eaten a lot of Roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and sweet deserts over the weekend and drunk beer which I don’t usually do!

I am having a rest day today which I need as I am pretty sore and I am taking my son to the Air Museum as a well done for passing his driving test so will get a lot of walking done anyway 🙂 We will pop into my parents on the way home so it should be pretty easy to get the steps in today hopefully!

From today I am going full carnivore for a bit and I think that I will try and do once meal a day to keep the fasting going for as long as possible now that my body is used to fasting and burning fat predominantly! yesterday I easily fasted until 2 pm before I ate so I will try and eat around 2-3 pm every day and that is it and see how that goes!

I am also hoping that eating once a day will lead to maximal fat loss so that I can get to my coal weight of 85 kgs as quickly as possible.

So after the Museum we went to my parents house and I did the cleaning while my son went for a walk with my parents and the dog to get them out of the way! We staid there until about 4 pm then headed home.

At about 19:30 I realised that I still had 1500 steps to go to get to my 10000 step goal so I got them done on the treadmill then I got some extra steps in doing the washing, washing up and feeding the axolotls.

By the end of the day I got to 10401 Steps.

Tuesday 22nd April 2025

Weight = 106.3 kgs

Steps = 10286 Steps

This morning I woke up at 6 am as I was really tired for some reason! I did my weigh-in and I have put on another 0.4 kgs so I am up to 106.3 kgs so I got showered and dressed and did my usual 2-tunnels lap and got in a 2.32 mile and 4832 steps walk in before work.

I have been moving around the flat as much as possible and I am currently on 5279 steps and its not even 9 am yet so I am looking good to get the steps in by the end of the day!

When I finished work at 11:30 ish I cleaned and organised the flat as my parents were coming over and the flat was a mess!

At about 16:30 we headed over to my ex wife’s flat for dinner.

I got home about 20:30 and had 1200 steps to go so I hopped on the treadmill and got them done before going to bed and watching videos until 22:00.

By the end of the say I had done 10286 Steps

Wednesday 23rd April 2025

Weight = 108 kgs

Steps = 12568 Steps

So another asthma free night tonight! I woke up with my alarm at 5 am but was really tired still so I set my alarm to 6 am and then slept again. I then slept through the 6 am alarm and woke up at 6:15! I then rushed and did my weigh-in and was surprised to see that I am up to 108 kgs this morning!!!! So I put on 1.7 kgs yesterday!!! Not good.

I then showered and got dressed and walked to the office without the 9kg weight plate in the rucksack as my back is a bit sore still and I didn’t want to mess my back up any more than it is! I did a few bits in the office then walked home again and by the time I got home I was on 7476 steps so well on my way to the 10000 steps.

I am now working until 12:00 and then driving to my parents house to work from there all afternoon before heading to my friends to get a lift to Andover for gates.

I am thinking that instead of focusing on BMX specific training for the next couple of months I should focus more on the gym riding the road bike instead to get my weight down as much as possible and build a base fitness too.

I also need to be stricter with my diet too as eating everything like I have this week has meant that I have put on 2.2 of the 3.1 kgs that I lost while fasting in 4 days 🙁

I am thinking of maybe doing another 40 hour fast this weekend to reset my brain again and restart carnivore cleanly on Sunday. If I stop eating after 8 pm on Friday as normal and then don’t eat all day Saturday and then start eating as normal at 12:00 on Sunday I will have done a 40 hour fast while only really not eating for 1 day of which I am awake for only about 15 hours of that day.

From today I am going full carnivore for a bit and I think that I will try and do one meal a day to keep the fasting going for as long as possible now that my body is used to fasting and burning fat predominantly! yesterday I easily fasted until 2 pm before I ate so I will try and eat around 2-3 pm every day and that is it and see how that goes!

I am also hoping that eating once a day will lead to maximal fat loss so that I can get to my coal weight of 85 kgs as quickly as possible.

At lunch time I ate the 2 steaks that I had cooked on Tuesday and then headed to my parents house as planned and worked there in the afternoon, I also paid for gates and membered up for Andover club as well.

When 16:00 rolled around I logged off got changed into my bmx clothes and at 16:15 I headed to my friends house and we loaded up his van and headed to Andover for gates. Gates was really fun and I got a time of 2.545 which was 0.002 off of a pb which isn’t too bad! I should be in the 2.4xx really to be on a level with all the national riders so I will work towards that. My goal is to get a 2.4xx gate at Andover by the end of June to give my weight training and sprints time to work.

I think that I will try going back to a 37 x 16 Gearing to see what that does to my times next week as I felt like I ran out of gearing part way down the start hill so adding a tooth may help with that!

By the end of the day I was on 12568 Steps.

Thursday 24th April 2025

Weight = 105.8 kgs

Steps = 5110 Steps

This morning I woke up at 6 am as I set my alarm for later as I got home late from gates last night. I got up and did my weigh-in and I was surprised to see that I was back down to 105.8 kgs so I dropped 2.2 kgs in a day which shows that eating carnivore and doing BMX helps to keep my weight down 🙂

My legs were feeling pretty heavy from gates so I decided to chill this morning and then try and get to the track to do sprints and laps this lunch time.

I ended up not getting away from work to go to the track and do sprints but I did go to the track in the evening and set up the gate etc for the club race and then I ran the gate all evening so I didn’t get to ride at all today!

I only got 5110 steps in all day today with at least 4500 steps coming in the afternoon/ evening after work when I was at the track!

Friday 25th April 2025

Weight = 105 kgs

So this morning I woke up at 6 am with my alarm and got up and did my weigh-in and I was surprised to see that I had dropped another 0.8 kgs to 105 kgs on the nose which is pretty good going! So far this week I have gone from 105.8 kgs on Sunday to 108 kgs on Wednesday and now I am back down to 105 kgs today! So I have lost 0.8 kgs in real terms but actually lost 3 kgs from Wednesday! Any way you look at it for the amount that I have been eating this week its really good and the carnivore diet is working!

After my weigh-in I jumped in the shower and then got dressed and walked into the office and worked there until about 11:30 then went to the bank and paid some money in then walked home. I then worked at home until 3 pm when I got my son in the car and we went to TF Tuned and picked up my forks that they were servicing and lowering from 100 mm to 80 mm.

After TF Tuned we headed to my parents house and I did the hoovering and mopped the conservatory and bathrooms then we headed home and I cooked dinner and then put the forks on my bike:

The forks fit the bike better and feel a lot better too. I will test them out in the morning as I plan to take the bike to Temple Cloud or Little Stoke to get a ride in.

Saturday 26th April 2025

Weight = 104.7 kgs

Steps = 1789 Steps

So this morning I woke up at 5:30 without an exam and got up and did my weigh-in and I was down to 104.7 kgs which is good 🙂

I then went back to bed and slept until about 11 am so I guess that I was tired 🙂

I then got up and got salt water and took my probiotic and nmn tablets and went back to bed and messed around on my laptop waiting for my son to wake up!

I am planning to do a 36 hour fast (Actually 39.5 hours) by not eating at all today and then eating as normal around 12:00 on Sunday! I am thinking that I have a rest/fast day every week on Saturdays to keep getting the benefits of fasting without doing alternate day fasting as my training during the week will get in the way of that!

So my weekly shopping arrived about 21:30 and the pineapple container had split open so I decided to cut my fast short at 25 hours and eat the pineapple as it would be off by the time that I was eating again and my son doesn’t like pineapple! So I ate the pineapple which tasted amazing after 24 hours fasting 🙂 and I then had the 3 left over sausages from my son’s breakfast that I cooked earlier in the day and then I had one of his jam donuts to finish off which tasted rubbish compared to the pineapple to be fair 🙂

I only managed 1789 steps for the day as I was fasting and didn’t feel like walking!

Weekly Summary

So this week has been really good weigh wise! I started the week at 105.8 kgs and finished it on 104.7 kgs so 1.1 kgs lost this week. I have noticed in the last couple of days that my arms are looking more toned and my face is looking thinner so I guess that the weight loss is fat loss which is good. I guess that the carnivore diet is doing it’s thing 🙂

Walking wise I got over 10000 steps every day except Thursday and Saturday this week so not bad:

Sunday – 11498

Monday – 10401

Tuesday – 10286

Wednesday – 12568

Thursday – 5110

Friday – 14707

Saturday – 1789

So All week I managed 66359 steps for an average of 9479.86 steps a day so under 10000 steps a day average but not by much!

Exercise wise other then gates at Andover on Wednesday night I haven’t done much of anything this week which is a bit annoying but not the end of the world as I have been eating much better an losing weight so not the end of the world.

All in all a good week I just need to start adding the gym and sprints to the mix and I think that I will be good!
