Last night I decided that I am going to start going to the gym in the mornings again and do an hour on the recumbent bike to try and get my base fitness up and lose some weight while I am hurt so I set my alarm for 5:15 and went to bed just after 11pm.
Due to pain in my shoulder and wrist I woke up at 4:30 am and as there was only 45 until my alarm I decided to wake up and do a weigh-in and then have a shower and get ready for the gym.
I figured that having a weigh-in before I started back at the gym would be a good idea and I was pleasantly surprised that I have lost almost 1 kg since my last weigh-in on the 12th (108.3kgs) I am guessing that this is mainly due to reducing the amount of sweets and crisps that I have been eating and also cutting out fizzy drinks all together. Hopefully after a couple of weeks back at the gym my weight loss will be back on track. I am now 4.3kgs behind my projected weight loss due the latest crash so I need to re-focus and do as much as I can without slowing my recovery!
After a leisurely walk to the gym I found that my fob was not on my front door key as I thought and was actually on my work lanyard so I couldn’t get into the gym 🙁
To not have a wasted journey I decided to walk home the long way so I got home after doing 8739 steps and walking for 1 hour and 16 minutes. Unfortunately only half of the walk was in fat burning which is a bit of a shame but I feel much better after the walk I’m just a bit gutted that I couldn’t get into the gym but I will try again tomorrow morning!
My plan for the next 30 days is to walk to the gym every morning and then ride the recumbent bike for an hour and then go to work or home depending what I feel like. In order to be able to shower at the gym I have bought a waterproof hand cover so that my broken finger and splint will stay dry in the shower. I have been using a plastic bag with tape around it at home but it is a pain to do and a waste of tale and it also leaks a lot so is not practical for the gym. With a bit of luck the hand cover will work better and make it easier to shower at the gym when I am going into the office.
I am now going to chill for a bit then get ready to go over to the Curtis Bikes 50th Birthday get together.
