A bit of strength training and too much beer... my training diary entry from July 25 2026

Hi Actifitters,

instead of my planned recovery session on the bike, I spontaneously decided to do some strength training yesterday. Time was tight, so I was able to just do a few exercises and stop whenever necessary. Among other things, I continued working on my pull-up skills, and things seem to be slowly progressing there too—which I’m really happy about.

Mission 80 (Day 27 = 88.7 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 / Total loss = 1.3 kg)

After losing 900 grams between the day before yesterday and yesterday, I knew things would have to go back up a bit. Since we attended an anniversary party yesterday with plenty of food and drink, anything else would have been nothing short of magic. And so, the scale showed an increase of 600 grams today. However, since I had anticipated this, I am not disappointed in the least.

Since my sleep was terrible last night due to all the beer, I’m feeling pretty rough. To get my Garmin stats back into the green zone, I’m going to take it easy today and just do a recovery session on the indoor bike.
