Weight = 107 kgs
Steps = 10294 Steps
This morning about 7:30 when it got light I dragged the dog out of bed and took her for a walk around the woods loop as she hadn’t really walked a lot the past couple days due to the weather and nor had I!
After the walk I chilled in the house most of the rest of the day!
By the end of the day I was on 10294 Steps so I finally got over 10k steps for the first time in a week so yay me.
Wednesday 18/02/2026 – New walking pad arrived!
Weight – 107.5 kg
Steps = 12795 Steps
This morning I woke up at 6 am and got ready and rode the ebike into the office and worked in the office until 11:45 then rode back to the flat. I then loaded the car and headed to my parents. When I got to my parents house my walking pad had been delivered 🙂 After eating I set the treadmill up and did my first 12-4-30 (12 incline- 4mph for 30 minutes) walk on it. The walk was easier than I thought and I felt so much better afterwards too 🙂 At 16:00 I finished work and did another 12-4-30 walk which was way more of a struggle as I hadn’t eaten much all day but I got through it and felt better again for doing it!
I then ate something and then took the dog down the road for a bit of a walk but she kept wanting to go home so we headed back!
I pretty much chilled the rest of the evening. I am planning to get up at 5:00 and do another 12-4-30 to start off my 12-4-30 30 day challenge the right way 🙂
By the end of the day I was super tired but happy and I had walked 12795 steps for the day 🙂
Thursday 19/02/2026 – 12-4-30 Challenge Day 1
Weight = 107 kgs
Steps = Steps
So I woke up at 5:00 as planned and did my weigh-in and was surprised to see that I was down 0.5 kgs from my last weigh-in to 107.0 kgs which was a good start to the 12-4-30 challenge already 🙂 I then got dressed and did my morning 12-4-30 challenge while I did some work and updated my blog etc. I am currently 23 minutes in and I can confidently say that doing the 12-4-30 first thing in the morning and while working makes it much easier and the time has flown by 🙂
Once I finish walking I will get dressed and head to Bath to shower and go into the office for the morning. I have arranged to meet my son at 11:30 and he is going to take me for a drive and then drive me back to my parents house so we can move the shed so I can dig out the base for the new shed at the weekend when the gravel grids arrive.
So when I arrived at my flat I looked at my FitBit app and realised that I had forgotten to stuff my FitBit in my sock so it didn’t count the steps from the treadmill 🙁 I was on only 808 steps instead of probably 3000+ steps 🙁
I was thinking on the drive into Bath that I am doing 30 days of 12-4-30 AND doing 12000 steps a day so I will not know how much of the weight loss is due to the 12-4-30 and how much is due to increasing my daily step count to 12000 steps! I have decided that for the next 30 days I will just do 12-4-30 once a day (preferably first thing at 5 am) and then after the 30 days I will add doing 12000 steps a day to the 12-4-30 and see how much more weight that drops 🙂
I have to say that I am feeling the burn in my legs and abs from the 12-4-30 already so that is a good sign and losing 0.5 kgs yesterday is crazy too!
