Weight = 108.3 Kgs
Steps Completed = 15526
This morning my alarm went off and I struggled a bit to get out of bed but I talked myself into it and got up and made my salt water and then did my weigh-in (down 0.5 kgs this morning to 108.3 kgs). I noticed that my chest and stomach are getting less chubby so all the rucking is helping burn the fat.
I have also noticed that getting up and walking first thing seems to lead to me being more relaxed and more active for the rest of the day. I also noticed yesterday that stress from work triggers my craving for sugary foods! Yesterday was stressful and I noticed that I was craving sugary sweets and choclate really badly when I hadn’t been all week! I did eventually cave and buy a bunch of crap which lead to having takeout last night too 🙁
This means to make it easier to not eat badly or eat takeout is to reduce my stress at work! This means that I need to learn to say I am too busy and only do one or 2 tasks at a time instead of juggling multiple tasks at the same time and getting that feeling of being pulled in all directions at the same time and getting nowhere! Another bad habbit to work on in the future!
After my shower I got dressed, drank my salt water, put on my weigh-vest, coat, beanie, gloves and shoes and left the house on my morning ruck. I went a way longer route today which was nice for a change and it means that I walked 10565 steps in one walk so about 4000 steps or more further than my normal loop. Weirdly enought the hardest part of the walk was still the hill at the end of my road which is always a shock to the system 🙂
It was nice to walk a different route as I get to walk in places with a better view than my normal route during the week and its definately nice to change things up.
When I got home I did my Lüften which was made easier by me adding another velcro patch to make it easier to open my bedroom blind open to allow for better airflow 🙂 While I was waiting the 10 minutes for the house to air out I started writing this post and I am now in bed updating it while chilling for a bit before waking up my son ready to get the car loaded ready for the tip at 9 am.
We got to the tip and unloaded all the stuff with no issues and I was home again by 9:30 and I had completed my 12000 steps for the day already!
When I got home I bought some flooring and stuff to fit the flooring so that I can use my week off next week to sort out my bedroom as its been annoying me for so long that its about time I sorted it! I went for the cheapest option which is vinyl roll flooring but as long as its dry and easy to clean I will be happy 🙂 I have been wanting to move my room around for a while too so this gives me an excuse to do that!
While I am changing the flooring I will also paint the bedroom to make it easier to do without making a mess. I will start clearing things out of my bedroom and pull the carpet up today after I sort out my desk as its really annoying me and I need to clean up the lounge to make room for the stuff from the bedroom.
Tomorrow I will try and organise the garage a bit so that I can fit my bike rack and bikes from the lounge into it and hopefully the sofa too and my vinyl cutter to get that out of the way too! I will then move my rollers and bike parts bins into the shed to free up space in the front hall and then start moving the cupboards and other stuff out of the bedroom into the lunge. I am not sure how I will get my bed out yet.
By the end of the day I had completed 15526 steps for the day and i also did a cleaning hour not cleaning 1/2 hour and organised the area under my desk and put a shelving unit in the dead space between the wall and my desk where the aquariums stop the desk fitting against the wall. I have now organised the virgin router, a switch and my Proxmox cluster servers that I only have one installed at the moment. I have ordered some velcro cable ties to allow me to organise everything properly to make that area clutter free.
