Week 2 of Mission 80 completed... my training diary entry from July 13 2026

_{(Here is another beautiful mountain panorama shot from our Zugspitze hike last September.)}

Hi Actifitters,

yesterday was the most intense training day since I put my injury behind me. I started with just under two hours of strength training and aerobics. The strength training included close-grip push-ups and a few dumbbell exercises for the shoulders, triceps, and neck.

Unfortunately, during the final set of close-grip push-ups, I managed three fewer reps than last time. That’s hardly surprising, though, considering I was very undisciplined with my diet and alcohol intake over the weekend. On top of that, there was a four-day break between the two workouts. Anyway, the weekend escapades are behind us, and it’s time to look ahead again.

After strength training, I treated myself to the "Climb of the Week"—a weekly challenge on Zwift. The 500 meters of elevation gain involved took quite a bit more energy and burned a fair number of calories.

Mission 80 (Day 15 = 88.5 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 / Total loss = 1.5 kg)

After showing discipline and working hard at my workouts again yesterday, I managed to record a weight loss of 700 grams in Week 2 of my Mission 80 Challenge after all.

So, I managed to lose a total of 1.5 kilos over the two weeks and am motivated for week 3.

Since I slightly overdid it yesterday with three hours of exercise, Garmin is suggesting a rest day. I’m going to ignore that and train anyway. However, I won’t overdo it today. Pull-ups and a few other exercises are on the agenda. If I have enough time, I’ll also do a relaxed recovery session on the indoor bike.
