Weight – 104.5 kgs
Steps – 5833 Steps
So I woke up without an alarm again this morning at 5:30 and I got up and did my weigh-in and I was down 0.1 kgs to 104.6 kgs which is good. More importantly my airways seem way less inflamed again and I am breathing better so I think a weekly fast might be the way to go moving forwards!
I then chilled for a bit and its now 7:30 am and I am getting ready to go to the pump track and test out the Black Market with the 80 mm forks.
I got to the track for about 8:00 and rode for just over an hour on the Black Market and did mostly 1st and 3rd straights. The reduction in fork travel has made the bike feel way better ad the top tube is way less steep now so the stand-over height has reduced as a result making the bike feel like a BMX Cruiser now! The bars feel a bit low now as my back was hurting by the end of the session but that can be fixed by putting the higher rise BMX style bars on the bike again. The forks have been really sell setup for my weight too so they never went over 3/4 of the travel even with some pretty heavy cases which is great. I basically forgot that I had bouncy forks on the bike after a bit which is great!
I then went home and waited for my son to wake up then made some burgers and we headed over to my parents where I out everything back from where I was cleaning the conservatory on Friday night and then I hoovered through the house then we headed home.
I then chilled for the rest of the night.
I only managed 5833 steps for the day!

Weight – 104.6 kgs
Steps – 12542 Steps
This morning I woke up at 6 am with my alarm and got up and did my weigh-in and I was down 0.1 kgs again to 104.5 kgs this morning. I then got showered and dressed and walked into the office for a 7 am start! At about 1 pm I walked home and made bacon, eggs and sausages as I was starving by that point as it was almost 2 pm! By the time I got home I was already on 11608 steps for the day so I will be able to chill all night!
I then went back to work again until about 15:30 when my friend popped round and dropped some stuff off for the BMX Club.
When my friend left I decided to fit the 16t Onyx cog that got delivered from Crucial BMX while i was in the office I then swapped out the Onyx wheel for the Profile Elite wheel that was on the Curtis and pumped the tyre up as it was super flat as its been in a cupboard for months waiting for the rain to stop!
This evening I plan to sort the bars on the Black Market Contraband as well.

Weight – 103.5 kgs
Steps – 3211
This morning I woke up at 5 am and got up and did my weigh-in and I was amazed that I was down to 103.5 kgs this morning 🙂 This means that I have lost 1 kgs since Sunday morning 🙂 I have lost 5.4 kgs since starting the fasting and carnivore diet 17 days ago which is amazing to be honest!
I was feeling really sore so I decided to rest this morning and go to the track at lunch time to get my sprints in instead! I then chilled until 6 am and then got up, showered and got dressed and then put the bins out and then sorted out the payment for the car park next to the office so that I can go in and grab my trolley and the shelving units that I was allowed to take as they were being thrown out.
I noticed that I have a lot less non-recyclables since I have been on the Carnivore diet as I only 3/4 filled up the kitchen bin in 2 weeks where as usually I would have filled up at least 2 of the bins when I was eating loads of takeout! So not only am I losing weight and feeling much better but I am saving the planet too 🙂
So work got in the way of my plans today and I had to work until midnight fixing a server with no breaks at all which was not fun so my step count was really low as result! I managed to fight the cravings to get takeout so it was a test of will power as well as stamina and resilience!
By the end of the day I only got 3211 steps but the server was back online and working so I can relax for the weekend.
Saturday 3rd May 2025
Weight = 103.7 kgs
Steps = 5530 Steps
So due to the heavy day yesterday and the late night I disabled my alarm and woke up when I woke up and that turned out to be 7:30 am so not too late. I did my weigh-in and was up 0.2 kgs to 103.7 kgs so still 013 kgs so not a big deal and I didn’t walk much at all so not bad!
At about 8:30 I talked myself into getting out of bed doom scrolling and got dressed, loaded the Curtis in the car and went and did sprints as I didn’t get to do my 2nd sprint session of the week yesterday! I did a pump lap to start and then cracked on with 6 x 25 m sprints with 3 minutes rest followed by 6 x 50 m sprints with 3 minute rest in between. I then did about 5 slowish 3rd and 4th straights to finish off working on slower, smoother manuals then i called it a day and headed home feeling proud of myself for getting a full week of practice in.
I noticed that on the 50 m sprints I started to lock into the attack position with tight abs which I haven’t done for years so that is a massive step forwards I think. Going forwards I will do 2 sessions of the same distances that I did today as it seems to be more effective than doing 25 m sprints one day and 50 m sprints the next session as I was planning. I am also going to reverse the sprint direction again and run off into the track instead of down the path as it its way too dangerous to do spring that way during the week. Plus you can do a pump lap after the sprint to work on track skills too 🙂
When I got home I had a bath and then built up my new pump track bike that the frame has been on the wall for months:
I also changed the gearing on my Curtis to a 37 x 16 gearing to try that out.
I then chilled for the rest of the day. I was really bad and got a chicken burger and chips from Deliveroo breaking a 17 day no takeout streak 🙁
