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.
