So after a couple weeks of waling 15k steps every day but gaining weight I stopped drinking fizzy drinks on Friday (22-05-2026) and my weight is npw slowly coming down again! This week I am going to start waking first thing at the gym first thing every day ti build the habit of getting up and going to the gym as I have been a member of the gym for a month already and not been yet! I am also going to start my 5 minutes skipping a day too as I have had the rope-less skipping rope for 2 weeks already too! Other than that I am going to keep doing the walking and see how far that gets me.
Over the next couple weeks I have a motorbike big bike refresher course on Wednesday then my Motorbike MOD1 on the 2nd June and then if all goes well with the MOD1 I have my MOD2 on the 15th June and then I should be able to buy a big bike and start riding it 🙂
Sunday 24th May 2025
Weight = 103.6 kgs
Waist Measurement = 42″
Body Fat = 34.6 %
Steps = 15314 Steps
This morning i woke up just after 7am and got up and did my weigh-in and I was down a bit to 103.6 kgs so Still over my usual weight before last week and my body fat was also down to 34.6% which is still at least 20% too high! My waist measurement was down 1 inch from 43 inches to 42 inches so that’s a good sign at least 🙂
I am now chilling for a bit and then I will hed to Bath to get cracking on the flat. This morning after doing my weigh-in I went into the google health app and it updated my fitbit so I am hoping that the 2 will interact a bit better now as the Google Health app is really crap compared to the FitBit app that they forced it to replace yesterday! I am looking for a replacement fitness tracker as I am not putting up with being forced to use something that works worse than the thing that it is replacing! Also Google have added a pay wall so they can well and truly do one! I am looking at a the Amazfit Bop Max or Active 2 as they are both under £100. Before I drop about £100 on a new tracker I have decided to go old school and I ave bought a pedometer and ankle strap to wear it in to see if I can work with that or not. That solution is £20 and if I don’t like it I can use the ankle strap and stick my fitbit in it for now!
SO even though my room was over 40 degrees today I easily made my 15k steps today mainly due to the pedometer actually counting all my steps 🙂 I got to 15314 Steps total for the day.
Thursday 28th June 2026 – 15k steps day 31
Weight = NA
Waist Measurement – NA
Bodyfat – NA
Steps = Steps
This morning i was up at 5 am and did my morning triage for work then showered and was out of the door on the ebike before 6 am 🙂 The ride was super easy so all the walking has deffo helped my fitness for sure and I was cool for the first time in days which was nice. When I got to Bath I got changed quickly and then headed to the office and got back to work.
The ride took 1:29:50 and was 22.8 miles and I averaged 15.2 mph and I felt it as I was on the limiter all the time which makes the ride in really annoying BUT the new increased power makes climbing a pleasure 🙂
I worked in the office until 15:30 when I headed back to the flat and waited for my son to drop his car off so I could stick the ebike in it and headed back to the folks house again! When I got in the bedroom was back up to 38 degrees so I opened up all the windows and the door and the temperature dropped a lot as there was a nice breeze to keep the temperature down.
By 19:00 I was on 9972 steps and I cracked on with cleaning the conservatory and downstairs to try and to 15k steps without walking on the treadmill today hopefully as I am sick of walking on the treadmill in the heat 🙂
Tomorrow I plan to get up at 5 again and head out on the bike for a loop of the woods as I really enjoyed the ride this morning as the weather is just about perfect at the moment. Also the trails are running perfectly at the moment too so I need to make the most if them before its pissing down and cold and wet again!
By the time I had finished the cleaning and taking in some washing and putting some more out on the line I was on 16030 Steps plus I did a 25 ish mile ebike ride so not a bad day.
Friday 29th May 2025 – 15k steps day 32
Weight = 104.3 kgs
Waist Measurement = 41″
Bodyfat = 33.8 %
Steps = 15770 Steps
This morning I woke up at 5 am and got up and my left calf was really sore. I then noticed that it was starting to rain so I quickly got the washing in as it was almost dry. I decided that the rain was a sign that I should rest this morning and go for a bike ride tomorrow morning instead! I then did my weigh in and I am up 0.9 kgs from Wednesday to 104.3 ks however my body water mass is up to the highest that it has been at 50.4 % and my body fat % is down to 33.8% which is the lowest that it has been since I bought the scales. Another good sign is that my lean mass is up 1/2 kg from the last time that I weighed myself so that is a positive sign!
Other than being a bit stiff from the bike ride yesterday am I feeling really good after 31 days of walking 15k steps a day in a row and I can not believe how one simple change can make you feel so much better! This month I need to get my nutrition in check to see the weight start to drop. That being said, this month I have lost 1 inch off of my stomach so that’s not bad for very little effort!
At lunch time I took the dog for a walk and then chilled until I started work again and then I waled until I got to 10k steps and then had an hour off and then got to 13500 steps before chilling until 20:00 when I did the last push and got to 15000 steps on my pedometer. I also had about 500 steps on my FitBit as well so a good day again even if I didn’t get out on the bike.
By the end of the day I was on 15770 Steps when my FitBit and pedometer were combined.
Saturday 30th June 2026 – 15k Steps a day 33
Weight = 104.7 kgs
Waist Measurement = 40.5″
BodyFat = 33.7 %
Steps = 15342 Steps
So this morning I woke up without an alarm at 5:45 so I got up and did my weigh-in and I was surprised that my weight was up again 0.4 kgs to 104.7 kgs! When I looked at my stats though my weight may have been up BUT my body fat had dropped again and my lean body mass was up again! My waist is also down 42″ at the start of the week to 40.5″ this morning so even though the scales are saying that my training is not working the data is saying that it is! SO the posh scales and starting weight measuring were worth it 🙂
Today I started off well with 5k steps on the treadmill in the morning then I headed to Bath and picked up my son and we got a load of painting done at the flat again and then we were done by 16:30 so I dropped him home and then went back to my parents. By the time I got home I was only on 6500 steps 🙁
I have then been trying to get to 15k steps! Its currently 22:20 and I am still on 14200 steps 🙁 My treadmill is also struggling and I have had to oil it to try and stop it grabbing all the time 🙁 My legs are also really really sore from DOMS from the bike ride on Thursday I think 🙁 Even using the massarger hasn’t helped much either 🙁
I was finally finished at 22:33 and finished the day at 15342 Steps by the time I got off of the treadmill and added the steps from my fitbit too.
