Day 9 – Had a lie in

Weight = 108.1 Kgs

Steps Completed = 14473

So i was really tired as I had a really big day yeaterday and needed some sleep to recover a bit! I woke up just before 7am, got up did my weight-in (up 0.2 kgs to 108.1 kgs 🙁 ) made my salt water then opened up the flat and did my Lüften then drank my salt water and I am now writing this post!

I am going to wait until about 8 am to go for my ruck and then I can go up the 2 tunnels and go for a longer walk before getting home and waiting for my delivery to attive between 10 am and 2:30 pm (better than the 7-7 window I was given when I ordered the stuff!)

Once I close up the flat I am going to continue clearing out the bedroom to get as much stuff out as possible so that I can pull out as much of the carpet as possible ready for the new flooring to arrive later in the week.

I noticed that it had snowed again last night so I am expecting my walk to be fairly cold this morning so I will wrap up warm to make sure its OK.

At just after 8am I jumped in the shower then got dressed, put the weight vest my coat and shoes and went out for a quick ruck. I decided I would do a short walk as I was a bit tired from yesterday so I wanted to take it a bit easier today.

I also have a lot to do today clearing my bedroom ready to start ripping out the rest of the carpet and prepping ready to paint and then do the flooring this week so I should easily get my steps in today doing that.

The walk was 80% on the 2 tunnels so zero traffic and super relaxing other than all the ice trying to take me out 🙂 I only walked 2.35 miles in 41 minutes and climbed 177ft and checked off 5030 steps for the morning.

I am currently 5852 steps so almost 1/2 way to the 12000 steps already.

As my flat is a mess while the bedroom is out of commission I have decided to give backwards walking a miss this week as the backwards treadmill is currently in the kitchen surrounded by stuff so I can’t use it at the moment! If my knees start giving me issues then I will do some backwards walking outside while I am on my walks until the flat is sorted but the knees are feeling good at the moment so fingers crossed they stay that way!

After a couple of hours of removing stuff from my bedroom and pulling up carpets I am now at 9016 steps and its only 11:08 so I am pretty confident that I will get to 12000 steps easily today 🙂 I have taken a break to make breakfast then I will empty everything from my bed and break it down and store it in the kitchen out of the way. I am going to have to sleep at my parents house this week as my bed will be in pieces in the lounge for the rest of the week!

This means that my morning ruck will have to be around 6am as it will take me 30-45 minutes to get home in the morning after getting up at 5am but I will be ready to start work my 8ish in the mornings so it should be good 🙂

I have just recieved a notification that my flooring will be delivered tomorrow which is good news as it can be in the flat acclimatising while I paint the bedroom and then I can crack strainght on with the flooring hopefully by Thursday or Friday so the room can get rebuilt by the weekend.

I had a really busy day yesterday moving furniture and all of my stuff out of my bedroom and removing the carpet and underlay ready to paint and put down new flooring this week so I managed to walk 14473 steps yesterday even though I had only done a short ruck in the morning so all is good.
