Sunday 01/03/2026 – 12-3-30 Day 11
Weight = 106.5 kgs
Steps = 5585 Steps
This morning I woke up without an alarm at 5:15 and when i got up my back was really sore and my hernia was also burning so I decided to chill in bed instead of getting up and doing my 12-3-30 (As per last weeks summary I am dropping the speed to 3 mph for the rest of the 30 days to see if that increases fat burning or not!) So I stayed in bed watching YouTube until 10:30 when I got up, did my weigh-in and i was down to 106.5 kgs from 107.2 kgs on my last weigh-in on Friday so not bad 🙂
I am currently doing my 12-3-30 while I write this and go back and update last weeks blogs as I didn’t update them much this week! Once my walk is done i need to clear some space in the wood shed as we are getting a wood delivery at 13:30 today so I want to make it as easy as possible when the wood is delivered.
I am going to take it a bit easier today as I am broken from all the manual labour yesterday and need to chill today! I was planning on riding to Bath this afternoon so that I don’t have to ride in tomorrow morning, but I think that I might be better resting today instead so that I am fresh for tomorrow.
Stacking the logs took all the energy that I had left over and full killed my back so I chilled the rest of the day. By the end of the day I was on 5585 Steps so not great but it could have been a lot worse!
Monday 02/03/2026 – 12-3-30 Day 12
Weight = 106.7 kgs
Steps = 6961 Steps
I woke up this morning at 5:00 with my alarm and got up and did my weigh-in and I am up 0.2 kgs this morning to 106.7 kgs and I am hurting a lot still! I am not 1/2 way through my 12-3-30 challenge for the day and then i have to head into Bath the go into the office. Unfortunately my laptop is currently dead so I can’t get my morning work tasks done this morning as I have no access to the network on my own laptop 🙁
I should get to Bath about 6:30 then I need to jump in the shower and then head into the office for 7 am then I can crack on with my morning tasks as planned. I am on call tonight too so in between finishing work at 15:30 and starting on call at 16:45 I will need to ride to the flat and then drive to my parents to start work at 16:45 if I make it in time!
Yesterday I was looking at more effective ways to boot fat burning and one of the best ways is backwards walking so once my 30 day challenge is done I will add backwards walking into my routine and do a 30 day 30 minute backwards walking session into my routine 3 x a week to start with then add more if I feel like it. This way I will be sorting my back on the forwards walking and my knees doing the backwards walking as well 🙂
This morning when I went to get on my bike my back went out so I have been in pain all day! I worked in the office until 15:30 when I had a really painful ride back to the flat and I remembered that I hadn’t eaten anything all day! By the time I got food I had fasted for 22 hours so not bad at all! After eating I went back to work again but from bed to try and ease the pain in my back! At around 19:30 I headed back to my parents house and had a really uncomfortable drive because of the back 🙁
I then worked until 22:00 when I finally got to lie down and sooth my back!
By the end of the day I was on 6961 Steps which considering how bad my back is its a lot of steps!
Tuesday 03/03/2026 – 12-3-30 Day 13
Weight = 106.9 Kgs
Steps = Steps
I slept pretty well despite massive pain when I rolled over and woke up at 6:30 and did my morning work tasks and then did my weigh-in and was up a bit more to 106.9 kgs this morning. I decided that I was going to save my 12-3-30 for later in the day once I have had time for the pain killers to kick in a bit 🙁 By back is less bad than yesterday as long as I don’t move that is! Definitely no shed building for me today!
