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. 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.” A different device — more expensive, more complex,…
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…
April 6th, 2026 — Eufy: 99.6kg. Hume Pod: 99.8kg. CPAP: 100/100. Gym: 541 kcal. Some mornings you step on the scales and the number stares back at you like a small, quiet victory. 99.6 kilograms. I have not been under 100 kilograms in longer than I am prepared to admit in print. The Eufy says…
April 5th, 2026 — Eufy: 100.9kg. Hume Pod: 101.0kg. CPAP: 6h 52m. Sleep quality: 100%. There are mornings when the data surprises you. This is one of them. The Eufy scales this morning read 100.9 kilograms. For the first time in this experiment — for the first time in longer than I care to admit…
April 4th, 2026 — Weight: 101.5kg. Sleep: 4h 29m CPAP. Steps yesterday: 16,750. Hip: Unhappy. I will be honest with you. Yesterday was not in the plan. The plan was: attend a wedding as a guest, eat sensibly, drive home, be in bed by 11pm, CPAP on, vest on, wake up fresh. The plan was…
April 3rd, 2026 — Weight: 101.2kg. Walk: 7.64km. CPAP: 6 hours 42 minutes. Last night something shifted. I’ve recently discovered the benefits of positional therapy for sleep apnea, which has changed my perspective on managing this condition. Not dramatically. Not perfectly. But genuinely, measurably, scientifically — something shifted. Two nights ago I wore my CPAP…
April 2nd, 2026 — Weight: 101.4kg. Sleep: 6h 26m. Steps: 10,477. Gym: Done. Focus: sleep apnea and weight loss I am going to say this plainly and without false modesty: I showed up. Yesterday I announced, publicly, that I would be in bed before 11pm and at the gym for 6am. I am a 55-year-old…
April 1st, 2026 — Starting weight: 102kg. Starting excuses: Zero. There is a very particular kind of humiliation that comes from standing on a set of smart scales at 55 years old, gut out, and watching a Bluetooth device cheerfully announce to your phone that your visceral fat is “Extremely High.” Happy April Fool’s Day…
