Woke up and did my usual Wednesday morning weigh in and I am the same weight as I was last Friday when I did my impromptu weight in.
I am the same still 107.4kgs so I haven’t lost weight but I haven’t put any back on again so its sort of win I guess!
I haven’t done much exercise this week again as I had a bad week at work so haven’t slept a lot so I have not had time to get to the gym. Also my shoulder and wrist are really hurting still so it is probably better to hold off a bit more I guess.
I have been doing quite a bit of walking this week with Saturday being my record day where I walked 14325 steps thanks to forgetting my gym fob and also going to the Curtis 50th Birthday bash. I also did 11040 steps yesterday as I had to walk to town and back and then went to the pub in the evening for a BMX Club committee meeting.
The rest of the week I did between 800 and 2500 steps which is pretty poor!
I have decided that I am going to take 6 months off of the bike to try and heal properly from all the niggling injury’s that I have picked up over the past 5 years and never really healed from. Honestly I don’t think that my shoulder will let me get on a BMX before then anyway but we will see. The 6 month break will basically be over the winter so hopefully I will be fit for the start of the season. I know a lot of people that take the winter off anyway so it should work out pretty well.
The idea is to start getting to the gym and doing leg weights and doing cardio to try and get my weight down and burn off fat so that after 6 month I can start riding again properly. I am still not sure if I will give Nationals a miss next year or give regionals a miss and just do Nationals. At the moment I am leaning towards just doing regionals next year but I will see how I feel nearer the time.
To make sure that I don’t ride too much I have sold my Pure as a complete bike and I have someone who wants to buy my Speedco as a complete too so once they are sold I will have some cruiser parts that are waiting for my new Curtis Frame to be built up, my 20″ and the jump bike which is at the track at the moment but will be brought home once all the servers have gone. I am going to sell my 20″ parts and get the hubs built up on cruiser wheels over the winter as I am not going to ride 20″ any more I am going to focus on 24″ and 26″ bikes for now.
I also have the brand new Supercross Cruiser frame which can stay on the wall for now but it can be built up with the rebuilt hubs off of my 20″ and the parts that I will have left over. I am also picking up my Yess Type X Pro XL Cruiser frame at the weekend so I will have that too.
