So after 3 days sick I am starting to feel a bit better so I have arranged to meet a friend at the pump track this afternoon for a ride so I am looking forward to that after not leaving the house for 3 days! This morning I decided to have a lie in again as I am really aching all over my body still so I don;t want to push it!
When I got up and did my weigh-in I was down to 109.4 kgs this morning so still really heavy but 1.3 kgs lighter than I was yesterday and under 110 kgs again too! I am going to get the rollers in from the garage and build up a roller bike to use over the winter to get some more exercise in after work while its cold and wet and wintery outside!
On Monday I will start fully on the Carnivore diet again too to try and get my weight back in check! I think that I will get heavier over the weekend as I am going to be eating and drinking a lot as its my son’s 18th birthday tomorrow so we are eating out all weekend basically!
I am off this afternoon and I will be going for a ride at the pump track when I get off of work and when I get home I will get the rollers out of the garage and get them setup and if I feel up to it I will have a slow ride on the rollers with the BMX for an hour or so. If I feel OK after that I will do a bit of walking too but I don’t want to push it so I may rest up and go for a walk first thing tomorrow morning.
I am feeling really crappy at the moment so I may just rest up again this afternoon. I will see how I feel after the pump track. It could be that doing some exercise will make me feel better but I suspect that I will feel worse!
There are no gates this weekend so I will walk early then head over to the pump track for about 7:30 when it gets light and do an hour or so at the pump track. I want to test out which of the BlackMarket Contraband (24″) and S&M .38 Special (20″) I get on with better at the pump track and I will ride a different bike each day to see which I like the best. I liked the BlackMarket when I rode it at the pump track before I changed up the forks and bars so I think that I will like it even more now as the changes have made it feel more BMXie and I think that the S&M will ride nicely but having not ridden it I may not like it. I guess I can jsut swap and choose each time I go to the track anyway so its not urgent that I find out which one I like the best but I am interested to see. I am going to ride the BlackMarket today and then I will ride the S&M tomorrow morning then swap and choose on Saturday and Sunday depending on how I feel. For the winter the BlackMarket is maybe the better option as it has a disk brake which should work better in the wet but the brake on the S&M is pretty good and I also have a new DXR brake to go on there if I need it so we will see. I also want to try the OS20 as well so on Sunday I may take that then I can ride it at Patchway after the pump track.
