Weight = 107.9 kgs
Steps Done = 12868
So last night I went outside to put some recycling in the recycling bin and stepped out of the door and my left knee hyper extended and started to hurt 🙁 I was still able to limp to my 12000 steps on the treadmill but it hurt and was slow!
I still managed to get up this morning at 5 am and got up and did my weigh-in and I was shocked to see that I am back up to 107.9 kgs so I am 1.3 kgs heavier than I was this time last week. Even stranger I am feeling thinner as my trousers are falling down all the time at the moment! I guess that a week of not really walking first thing and doing the majority of steps on the treadmill has taken its toll on my weight loss 🙁 Combined with that I got back to riding BMX last week and got in 3 gates sessions so some of the weight may well be increased muscle mass from the BMX too.
Either way I need to make an effort to walk first thing EVERY day again going forwards to get my weight in check again!
As my knee was sore this morning still I decided that a Ruck would be a really bad idea so I put on a knee brace and hobbled my usual route where I do 1 mile of climbing followed by 2 ish miles of flat and downhill walking home. Strangely the uphill wasn’t too bad and the downhill hurt 10x more for some reason!
The knee hyper-extension is also a warning that I have not been doing my backwards walking again this week so I will start back on it today before I head to the track!
I was definitely a fair bit slower this morning with the walk taking 52.27 minutes when I usually do the same distance in about 48 minutes so I wasn’t breaking any speed records that’s for sure!
When I got home I turned the laptop on and then opened all the windows and did my Lüften while i did my morning work tasks. After 10 minutes I closed up the flat again and then carried on with my morning work tasks.
After the walk this morning I am now on 6460 steps so over half way to my 12000 steps so it should be pretty easy to get there today for the first time in over a week 🙂
I am now planning to crack on with work until 12ish when I will get on the backwards treadmill for 10 minutes then get into my BMX kit and then head to the track to see if I can get some sprints done and then have a play after. I also want to get the Supercross from the container so that I can take it apart and clean off the frame and get it photographed and on the internet to sell too.
I will also have a go at converting the rear wheel back to a 10 mm hub again and build up the StayStrong with all the parts from the Supercross then it is ready to use.
I am still mulling over if I will run it with a 24×1.6 tyre or leave it with the 24×2.1 tyre that it currently has. I am thinking leaving it as 24×2.1 like it is at the moment as it rides really well like that.
After an hour or so working my knee is hanging so I have decided not to ride today and instead I will go get the Supercross from the track and then come home and rebuild the StayStrong then rest the knee in bed with an ice pack on for the rest of the day. I will park the car in the cycle track car park and walk to the track to try and get my 12000 steps in early today then I can rest for the evening.
So at lunch time I drove to the track as planned and the walk to the container and back didn’t burn up as many steps as I had hoped so by 6 pm when I had to do some work out of hours I still had 3500 steps to go so I walked at 3.5 mph until I got to 12000 steps which made my knee a bit sore then I did 10 minutes backwards walking which helped a bit!
I finished the day on 12868 steps so not too bad for a bum knee!
