Day fifteen. The halfway point. The 48 hour fast results are visible across every device today, and the most interesting number is not the one on the scales. Heart rate variability on the Hume Band came in at 88.5 ms this afternoon — the highest reading of the entire experiment, beating the previous best of…
Fourteen days in, and today delivered more data than any single day of this experiment so far. The hume pod chronic illness report — a feature I had been waiting to unlock — arrived this afternoon, and it is comprehensive, detailed, and in places quite blunt. There was also a morning walk through Cambridge, a…
Monday 13 April 2026 Day 13. Lucky for some, they say. Today the data reflects something I already knew walking into it: the experiment wobbled last night. Late to bed, alcohol involved, knee still tender enough to rule out the gym, and — to add insult to data — the Hume Band ran out of…
April 12th, 2026 — Eufy: 100.90kg. Blood pressure: 134/94. CPAP: 100/100. Regrets: selective. The alcohol effect on blood pressure is one of those things you know intellectually and occasionally choose to know less well on a Saturday evening with good friends, a generous cheeseboard, and a bottle of red wine that turned out to be…
April 11th, 2026 — Eufy: 99.95kg. Sleep: Complicated. Exercise: Rest. Shoot: Done. There is a specific kind of sleep that is neither restful nor wasted — the kind where you are technically horizontal for nine hours but consciously aware of about six of them. Last night was that kind. I switched to the cpap full…
There’s a certain irony in checking your hume band recovery score on a morning when you already know, before you’ve even looked at the data, that last night wasn’t great. I went to bed late, woke up relatively early to meet a friend for coffee at nine, and skipped the scales entirely — which means…
April 9th, 2026 — Weight: ~100.2kg. Blood pressure: 115/73 — 70 bpm. Rest day. No negotiation. Yesterday I overdid it. In my defence, it was a genuinely lovely day — warm, sunny, the kind of English April afternoon that arrives without warning and disappears just as quickly. After the gym, after 13,000 steps of walking,…
April 8th, 2026 — Eufy: 100.2kg. Body fat: 30.5%. CPAP: 89/100. Gym: 22 mins. Knee: Unimpressed. I am going to lead with the thing I did wrong, because that is the point of this series. Last night I was photographing clients from 7:30 to 8:30pm. By the time I finished, packed up, and got home,…
April 1st–7th, 2026 — From 102kg to 99.4kg. From 88% to 97–98% blood oxygen. From chaos to something resembling a routine. This hume pod review will detail my findings. Seven days ago I stood on a set of smart scales at 102 kilograms and watched a device tell me my visceral fat was “Extremely High.”…
April 7th, 2026 — Eufy: 99.4kg. CPAP: 96/100. Bike: 13.29km. Blood pressure: 104/72. There is a specific and somewhat absurd irony in lying awake worrying about whether you will sleep well enough to keep a sleep apnea device on your face. Last night I needed to work late on photographs. By the time I got…
