Weight = 106.8 Kgs
Steps Completed = 13122
So I woke up this morning at 5 am with my alarm and got out of bed and felt a bit sore and like I had been 10 rounds with Mile Tyson! So I decided that I would not Ruck this morning and just walk instead! I have decided to Ruck Monday, Wednesday and Friday for now and maybe add one Ruck at the weekend too then gradually add extra days from here.
I then did my weigh-in and I was up again to 106.8 kgs so my weight is going up not down 🙁 Although I have a feeling that the extra weight is muscle from the way my legs and stomach are aching this morning!
I then showered and got dressed and forced myself out for a walk! The walk was a bit of a struggle but it got easier once I was near the top of the hill so I was glad that I had gone walking as it got rid of most of the aches and pains! I was also glad that I decided not to wear the weight vest too 🙂
When I got home I turned on the laptop and then opened up all the windows and doors to air out the flat and got on with my morning work tasks while the house was airing.
After closing up the flat I did my 1/2 pull up which is now slightly more that half a pull up but not enough to call it 3/4 of a pull up yet so I am getting better but not a lot!
While walking I decided that I really need to work on my diet as it is being a hindrance not a help at the moment as it is basically take out crap and I need to start eating a lot cleaner than I have been or i will get caught in that exercise – get ill hell that I was in last year and I will get nothing done! I have decided not to go fully back on to the Carnivore diet just yet but I will cut out processed foods for now so I can still eat chips but just home made ones from real potatoes! I still have 24 cans of soup left so I will crack through them in the next couple of weeks and then start eating fully clean and see how that goes!
I have also decided that I really need to sort out my evening routine as it is way less productive than my morning routine and I need to start upping my steps a bit so an evening walk should get that done and also relax me for the rest of the evening! I also need to start using the rollers after my walk too so will clean the OS20 this lunch time and then put the long seat-post on it so it’s ready to use on the rollers when I get back from my parents this afternoon.
I have decided that my afternoon routine will be:
4-5 pm – Finish work and make food and eat
5-6 pm – Walk
6-7 pm – Rollers
7-7:30 – Cleaning 1/2 hour
7:30-9 pm – Chill
9-10 pm – Shower and then go to sleep
I will not add a learning hour into my routine until the walking and rollers are habits and are not stressful any more then I will add learning from 7:30-8:30 pm then I can still watch 30 minutes of tv before getting ready for bed.
Lunch times are going to be a mixture of things as I need to Rest on Mondays, go to my parents house on Tuesdays and get my walk in at lunch time on Wednesdays so that I can get my steps in at lunch as I am going to start doing gates at Andover again Wednesday nights so will not have time to get my steps done on Wednesdays. I am thinking that I will maybe go to my parents on Wednesday lunch time and work from their house Wednesday afternoons to make it easier to get to my friends house to get a lift to Andover and back. I can then walk the dog at lunch time which will be better than walking on my own too 🙂
Thursday and Friday I will ride up to the track and back to get used to riding there so when I start riding the BMX properly again I will be ready to ride to the track as a warmup.
After getting back from my Parents I still had 800 steps to go so I decided to get my steps in by getting my Son’s Supercross fixed as I brought it back from my parents house and I am going to ride it tomorrow at Andover.
I first took the cranks off of the StayStrong that I got back from the container and then fitted them to the Supercross when I checked the bottom bracket on the Supercross has seized so I swapped over the bottom bracket as well so its now smooth as butter 🙂 I then removed the back wheel as it had a puncture and I swapped the tube out for a new Tubolito and I also swapped the 16T cog for an 18T as it will be running 41 x 18 now not 38×16. I also removed the chain and fitted a new KMC K1 narrow chain to the bike! I will get a new half link chain at some point so I can slam the rear wheel more as its quite far back on the dropouts at the moment! It will do for now though!
I then put the bike back together and got it dialled in and fitted the transponder ready for gates. I then fitted the brake and cable on the Cult frame that I swapped for the dialled so that my friend can do gates on it tomorrow too.
I then fed the Axolotls and then went to bed.
By the time i finishes I was on 13122 steps so well over the 12000 target 🙂
