The motivation is back... my training diary entry from September 21 2026

_{(And here is the next photo from last Saturday's hike. The route kept taking us over rooty trails like this one. I love varying terrain on hikes.)}

Hi Actifitters,

as the title suggests, I overcame the slump in motivation I had on Sunday and got back to training quite intensely yesterday.

I started off with reverse pull-ups—an exercise where I hadn't looked too good during my first workout after the short trip to Hamburg. Today, however, my strength was back, and I was able to improve. Here are the numbers:

The next goal according to the training plan (31):

My previous attempt (28):

Yesterdays attempt (30):

Next up were bicep curls and dumbbell rows. I slightly increased the weight for both exercises. We'll see how my joints react to that, but it actually felt pretty good.

To really burn off some more energy, I also completed the "Climb of the Week" on Zwift. My goal was to average over 200 watts, and I managed to achieve that as well.

Duration - 0:45:06
Distance - 12.09 km
Elevetaion gain - 547 m
Average speed - 16.1 km/h
Maximum speed - 39.2 km/h
Average power output - 225 watts
Maximum power output - 413 watts
Average heart rate - 149 bpm
Maximum heart rate - 174 bpm
Average cadence - 87
Maximum cadence - 117
Calories - 583

All in all, I am very satisfied with this training Monday and am already looking forward to further performance improvements.

Mission 80 (Day 85 = 85.6 / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 / Total loss = 4.4 kg)

There’s nothing negative to report here, either. After sticking to my plan with both exercise and nutrition yesterday, the scale shows a few grams less today.

Today, narrow-grip push-ups and another cycling session are on the agenda again. More on that tomorrow.
