Weight = 108.0 Kgs

Steps = 14734

So I woke up with my alarm at 5 am and did my weigh-in and I was shocked to see that I was up 1 kg since yesterday!!!! I immediately got dressed and went for a ruck as I haven’t rucked for at least a month now and I have really forgotten the habit of waking up and walking EVERY day again to try and get back to dropping weight!

I have been getting more and more lazy to the point that I didn’t even walk 2000 steps all weekend or even really get out of bed all weekend!

I really enjoyed the walk ruck and I am feeling so much better for it so I am going to get back into the habit of walking again!

So I walked 2.72 miles in 51 minutes 57 seconds and climbed 342 ft so I didn’t break any speed records but it felt so good to blow out the cobwebs and I am able to breath through my nose again which I haven’t been able to for a couple of weeks which is good! It was light for most of the walk this morning which made it much nicer too 🙂 By the time I got home I was on 6655 steps so well over 1/2 way to my 12000 step goal already 🙂

When I got home I opened all the doors and windows and did my 10 minutes Lüften to get back in that habit as well as the house has started to get signs of black mould again which is not ideal!

As I packed my sprints bag with my new Skilz timing system, rollers, splats, cool-down seat and post, shoes, GoPro and tripod, Sprint Block ready to do sprints this afternoon:

The bag is now in the back of the car ready to go so no excuses today! As soon as the measuring wheel and chalk arrive I will head to the track and get started!

I am going to get back to training properly again so I will be doing the following:

Monday – Rest Day walking only

Tuesday – Ruck AM, Sprints Lunch, Rollers PM

Wednesday – Ruck AM, Split Squats and Press ups AM, Gates PM

Thursday – Ruck AM, Sprints Lunch, Rollers PM

Friday – Ruck AM, Split Squats and Press ups AM, Gates Lunch, Rollers PM

Saturday – Ruck AM, Gates PM

Sunday – Ruck AM, BMX Sometime

This will make a start at losing weight and strengthening my body with rucking and split squats and Press-ups in the mornings and Sprints and gates later in the day.

At lunch time I went to the track and measured out 5 m and 10 m distances and a start line and tried to get the timing to work but it would not and kept starting on its own all the time! I also had issues with the SprintBlock as I am too heavy fro it so it just slid down when I rest the pedal on it 🙁 So I made the most of a bad job and did 12 x 5 meter sprints from a track stand with no timing which was not ideal but better than nothing! I will research the Skilz timing setup further as I guess that I had the gates too far apart or something like that!

Thursday I will go back to using my old folding stool instead of the SprintBlock and actually do some box sprints! I think that once I drop weight the Sprint Block will be much better but for now its just annoying so I will not use it!

I have been looking online and found that the sensors need to be no more than 4 ft apart and I had them way further apart than that so I will try the system again tomorrow lunchtime and see if its any better.

Weight = 107.6 kgs

Steps = 12262

So this morning i woke up at 5 and did my weigh-in and I was up 0.5 kgs to 107.6 kgs this morning which I guess is added muscle from the ride as I am feeling way leaner this morning as you would expect after riding 30+ miles yesterday even if it was on an ebike!

I then started a new habit of taking an nmn pill to see what all the fuss is about and then I got to work as I have a lot to do today! I am going to walk into the office at 6:30 this morning so I started early to get my morning work tasks ticked off before I go to the office!

At about 11:30 I walked home from the office, ate and then got in a cleaning frenzy and started organising and de-cluttering the lounge as it was a nightmare as it had all the stuff from the garage that I needed to go through. After round 2 of organising I now have a sofa that I can sit on and the flat is 80% back to normal so getting there and a lot better than it was! I’m not sure if its the nmn or not but I seem to have way more engergy today and really didn’t need my lunch time nap at all!

Weight = 107.1 Kgs

Steps = 14943

This morning I had to take my parents car to the garage for a service and MOT in Trowbridge so I put the ebike in the back and then rode back to bath to start work:

The ride was pretty easy and I got to the office at 8:58 which was perfect timing as I had a meeting at 9 am 🙂

I then worked through until about 13:00 and then rode home and put the ebike battery on charge so that it was charged for the ride back to Trow.

I left to go back to Trow at 15:30 and got back to bath with the car at 17:30.

By the time I got home I was on 14226 steps but I was too busy to get on the treadmill and forgot all about getting to 15000 steps so I fell slightly short at 14943 steps! Still a good total though so I’m not too upset!

Weight = 108.1 kgs

Steps =

So this morning I woke up with my alarm and got up and did my weigh-in and I am back up to 108.1 kgs which I used to actually get ready and go out for a walk this morning so ….

My walk was good and I feel much better for doing it 🙂 It was also light by the time I got home which is really nice too as it means that its almost summer 🙂

When I got home I opened all the doors and windows and did Lüften for 15-20 minutes while I did my morning tasks for work. I then got ready for work and got on the ebike and headed in to the office for the morning.

My goal for this week is to get up and walk EVERY morning this week to get back into the habit of walking first thing again!

I rode the ebike to the office and worked there until about 12:30 then rode home again and I was on 10800 steps which was pretty good.

I then worked all day and its now 19:15 and I am on 11410 steps so I am just going to get on the treadmill to get to 12000 steps.

While walking I decided that I would go to 15000 steps today instead as I was enjoying the walk on the treadmill so much 🙂 I got to 15000 steps before 20:00 and I am now chilling for the night while I am call.

Weight = 107.4 kgs

Steps = 10682

This morning I woke up when I woke up (about 7:30 am) and then got up and did my weigh-in (Down to 107.4 kgs) and then I waited around until 10 am when I woke my son up and we got to pulling everything out of the garage and putting it in the garden.

We then reorganised the garage and then moved the bike rack from the lounge into the garage and hung up all the bikes and put everything that wasn’t going to the tip back into the garage:

Before ^^^^

After ^^^

As you can see the after is not perfect but its at least useable for now and I have Friday off to take all the stuff that is being thrown away to the recycling centre and then do a round 2 to get enough space to set up the gym once the bikes have been sold!

After we have finished sorting the garage and breaking down all the empty boxes and bagging all the stuff to be taken to the tip I ordered a Pizza for my son then we got in the car and put the L plates on and he drove us to my parents house where I hoovered through the house and then mopped the bathrooms and conservatory/ kitchen before he drove us home again!

By the time I got home about 6 pm I was really tired so didn’t push it too much so didn’t walk any more to get to 12000 steps! In hindsight it would have been better to get the last 1318 steps but there you go!

So this week has been a bit crap all around as I have been ill or week with stomach issues and covid like symptoms too!

I have only managed 12000 steps for 3 days this week and the rest of the days I have only done about way less than 2000 steps a day with yesterday being my worst day at only 901 steps!

This has meant that my weight has slowly increased to 107.8 kgs today 🙁

I am going to take this week as my rest week and start back with high instensity from tomorrow!

Tomorrow morning I will get up early and go for a long ruck and then come home and start my pressups and squats in the mornings while I am warmed ip. I will start with 20 of each and build up from there. Tuesday I will also start back at sprints too to make sure I start getting some BMX specific training in too.

I am also going to start back on the carnivore diet from tomorrow too to try and reign in my weight.

I have also bought the The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-loss, Incredible Sex and Becoming Superhuman by Timmothy Ferrys to research the 30/30/30 weight loss method to try and lose fat faster so I will try and implement this into my morning routine as well so I will have to eat 30g of protein before my ruck to get this working. As the 30/30/30 method is basically eating 30g of protein 30 minutes after waking up and following it with 30 minutes of steady state cardio. I am currently researching what to eat to give 30g of protein that is easy to cook and eat at 5 am!

So this morning I woke up at 6 am as I had a food delivery coming at 6:30 am so there was not point in trying to get a walk in before that so I set my alarm for 6 am and had a lie in!

I got up and did my weigh-in and i am back up to 107.1 kgs today so the weight is going back up instead of down again 🙁

Once I am feeling better I need to work on my diet as well as start rucking again!

I then had a shower, got dressed and did some work while I waited for the shopping to arrive. It arrived right on 6:30 am which was nice so I was able to put the cold stuff away and then crack on with my work day!

I have my new work laptop arriving today but I haven’t been given a delivery window yet so I can not plan anything until that arrives so I am unable to plan my day properly.

Weight = 106.9

Steps = 12214

So this morning I woke up at 6:15 and did my weigh in and i was down 0.1 lgs to 106.9 kgs. I then started work until lunch time when I went to bed for a couple of hours then worked until 4 before going back to bed for an hour or so.

At about 18:00 I got ready and walked into the office to pick up the backup USB drive and also a couple of PI’s tomorrow.

The walk was a struggle but it was light still which was nice and shows that spring is in the air! By the time i got home I was on just over 10000 steps. I then hoovered through the flat and then cleaned the kitchen before going on the treadmill to get to 12000 steps.

I have just done that so I am done for the day!

By the end of the day I had walked 12214 steps which is pretty good considering I was ill and only on 1500 steps at 6 pm 🙂

Weight = 107 kgs

Steps = 1565 Steps 🙁

So I woke up with my alarm at 5 as planned and got up and did my weigh-in and I am up 0.5 kgs to 107 kigs this morning 🙁 My stomach was really bad too and I was feeling bad so I went back to bed until 7 am then got up and started work!

I will try and get to the track at lunch time to get some sprints done as my Sprint Block is arriving between 9:30-10:30 this morning so I need to try it out! I will hopefully get some steps in walking to measure the sprint distances and while doing sprints so that I don’t have to spend all evening on the treadmill today:-(

As the day went on I felt worse and worse so in the afternoon I went to bed and stayed there all afternoon and evening! I decided that it was better to not push it and to take the day off and rest and recuperate! As a result I broke my 57 day streak of 12000 or more steps as day and only did 1565 steps all day 🙁
