Weight = 105.4 kgs
Steps = 5103 Steps
So this morning I woke up with my alarm at 5 am and got up and did my weigh-in and I was up 1 kg exactly from yesterday to 105.4 kgs 🙁 Not happy about it BUT it is to be expected as I have not been walking much, or riding AND eating like crap too! I will start to sort myself out and get back on track from tomorrow!
At about 6 am I got showered and dressed, ate my breakfast burger then headed to Patchway for a play. I was feeling the onset of man flu so I didn’t do too much but it was enough to know that the S&M will be good enough to race on over the winter and maybe beyond too 🙂
I am now taking it easy for the rest of the day as I feel like crap! I also want to be rested ready to do sprints in the morning at the downhill spot and then I will head to Patchway for a play afterwards!
I am already on more steps than I was yesterday as I am on 3724 steps so far and it is not even 10:00 yet 🙂 I didn’t really do much else for the rest of the day so I only got to 5103 Steps all day but it was still a lot more than I have been doing recently!
Monday 25th August 2025
Weight = 105.7 kgs
Steps = 10162 Steps
So this morning I woke up at 5:00 with my alarm and got up and did my weigh-in and I was shocked to see that I was up to 105.7 kgs this morning!!! That is the heaviest that I have been since the 11th of August which is not good! I then got showered and dressed and headed to Patchway as today is a bank holiday!
When I got to Patchway I rode for a couple of hours and did a littler pick as well before going home. I managed to get a full plastic bag full of litter so the track was much better after that! I then headed to my parents house and did the hoovering and mopping and ate 1/2 a lasagna that they had in the fridge as I was hungry. I then watered the plants and then headed home. When I got home I arranged to meet a friend at the track at 3 pm so I had a quick nap then headed to the track and rode until 17:30 ish and then headed home again.
When I got home I ordered some food and then went in the bath all evening as I was sore from all of the riding over the past couple of days! While in the bath I thought about the S&M and I am really happy with it now and I will be leaving it as it is for the foreseeable future at least 🙂 I may get an Onyx or Profile Elite rear wheel at some point but for now its fine 🙂
When I got out of the bath it was dark so I finished watching the film that I was watching before I went into the bath and then went to sleep!

Weight = 105.3 kgs
Steps = 974 Steps
This morning I woke up with my alarm at 5:00 and did my weigh-in and I have dropped back to 105.3 kgs this morning which is good but I need to eat cleaner to get back on track! I then chilled in bed until 5:30 when I got up and looked outside and it was still pitch black so I decided that sprints can wait until lunchtime and I then went back to bed and watched YouTube videos until 6:30 when I started work.
I am writing this at 7:30 and its still not fully light so winter is deffo on the way 🙁
I felt really sick at about 9:00 and decided to go back to bed where I stayed for the rest of the day sleeping.
Needless to say I only got 974 steps in all day 🙁
Wednesday 27th August 2025
Weight = 105.3 kgs
Steps = 9685 Steps
So as I was feeling so crap last night I set my alarm for 7 am and dragged myself out of bed and did my weigh-in and I was down to 105.3 kgs so lost 0.4 kgs which is nice 🙂 I felt less bad this morning is I cracked on with work and then at about 13:30 I got my son to get up and get in the car and we went to my parents where I ordered my mum a new phone as her’s has stopped working as the 3g networks have now been deactivated!
I worked from there for the afternoon and then my son and myself too the dog for a walk and then we ate and headed home in my Dad’s car as I am going to Cardiff for open gates tonight. When we got back to Bath we headed off for a walk along the 2 tunnels and bumped into my old boss who was riding his bike which was nice to catch up.
When we got home I did some washing and put the washing from the dryer away and then went to sleep.
By the end of the day I was on 9685 Steps which fell a bit short of 10000 steps but as I was ill still it wasn’t too bad.
Thursday 28th August 2025
Weight = 104.9 kgs
Steps = 2456 Steps
This morning I woke up at 6:45 so 15 minutes before my alarm and got up and did my weigh-in and was surprised to see that I am down to 104.9 kgs today so down another 0.4 kgs this morning! Pretty impressive as I only worked and walked yesterday.
So work kicked off at about 15:30 so I didn’t get finished until about 17:00 so I missed open gates at Cardiff tonight which wasn’t a bad thing as I was still feeling a bit rubbish so it was probably for the best!
By the end of the day I was on only 2456 Steps.
Friday 29th August 2025
Weight = 105.1 kgs
Steps = Steps
This morning I woke up at 6:30 without an alarm and then got up and did my weigh-in and I was back up a bit to 105.1 kgs this morning so 0.2 kgs up from yesterday!
I then got showered and dressed and then headed into the office on the S&M BUT I made the mistake of leaving my HT Clipless pedals on there and wore vans as they were really slippery so I had to go really slowly as my shoes were wet and the pedals were really slippery 🙁 I then worked until about 10:15 then headed home. I had to get off and push the bike up the hill to my flat as every time I tried to put any power on the pedal my foot slipped so as I am racing tomorrow I thought it was best to not get hurt.
At 11:30 I headed to the track to meet a friend
