On paper this week has been a sucessful week however I only got up and walked first thing once this week and I was pretty lazy all week as I have been recovering from the office move but I think that I am pretty much back to normal now so I need to start focusing on my routines again to get my life moving in the right direction again and avoid reverting to my old habits and getting fatter again,
Steps wise I managed to walk 89098 steps this week for an average of 12728 steps which is well over my 12000 steps goal but I had 3 evenings where I got my steps in on the treadmill which is ideal and it meant that I put on weight at the end of the week. I noticed that my diet got steadily worse again this week too as I felt less motivated and lasier as the week went on!
My weight this week went from 105.9 kgs on Sunday to 106.7 kgs on Saturday morning so I put on 0.8 kgs this week which is not ideal.
I didn’t manage one Ruck this week either which is not ideal either although my flat is looking a lot better than it did last week so I did get some forwards momentum!
This week I need to focus on getting up and rucking first thing and at lunch time I will start to ride to the track every day so that I can start getting into the habit of doing that so that when I start doing sprints in March or April I will be in a place where I am using the ride to the track as a warmup for my BMX riding and not as a workout as it will be for now! I left a bike at the track on Friday so I will now have to leave a helmet and gloves there as well and then I will be able to at least get a bit of riding in when I get to the track even if its just a few pump laps before going home! Again this is just to get into the habit of getting home, eating then getting on the bike and riding to the track every day instead of going to bed and watching netflix and snoozing.
I have decided to also go for an hours walk as soon as I finish work at 4pm Monday – Friday to try and make my day more rounded instead of walking first thing then being basically sedentary for large parts of the day after that. At least if I walk in the evening as well I can switch off from work and be active in the morning and evening too. It should also be a good way to reduce the aches and pains that I feel after work and also a way to blow away the tiredness of the day so that I can have the energy to do my cleaning etc in the evenings.
I am hoping that this extra activity will get me back on track with my weight loss and also mean that I am easily getting at least 15000 steps a day in during the week moving forwards but ideally getting over 20000 steps a day in as the weight was falling off when I was doing over 20000 steps a day during the move!
