Hi Actifitters,

since I have a long outdoor bike ride coming up today, I didn't want to completely wear myself out yesterday, so I limited myself to a push-up workout and extensive stretching.

Here are the figures for the push-up workout:

The next goal according to the training plan (72+):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
12	17	13	13	max (min. 17)	60 seconds

My previous attempt (54):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
12	17	11	8	6	60 seconds

Yesterdays attempt (55):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
12	17	11	8	7	60 seconds

Even though I’ve made some small progress, I’m still quite a way off from reaching my current interim goal. It’s likely going to take quite a while, too. No matter—I’m sticking with it.

Mission 80 (Day 89 = 85.1 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 kg / Total loss = 4.9 kg)

I was very disciplined with my diet again yesterday until evening came. Then I had a moment of weakness involving Nutella, which undid some weight loss. But at least I only weigh 100 grams more than yesterday.

As mentioned at the start, an outdoor bike ride is on the agenda today—something I haven't done in a very long time. A friend and I are visiting another friend who lives just under 55 kilometers away. All told, we should end up with a good 110 kilometers on the odometer.
