Weak in two respects... my training diary entry from September 27 2026

Hi Actifitters,

yesterday was a really strange day. When I got up, I actually felt fine. What was odd, though, was that I had an insatiable appetite. That’s something I usually only experience to that extent when I have a cold; that’s when I always get ravenously hungry. But as I said, I was actually feeling pretty good. Anyway, I headed to the bakery to pick up a few bread rolls for breakfast. After a hearty breakfast, I did a rough calculation of how many calories I’d consumed. I don’t remember the exact figure, but an hour later—after spooning up the last 100 grams from the Nutella jar—I had already used up my entire daily calorie allowance. It didn’t take long after that for me to become dead tired and take a nap. When I woke up, I felt weak, my eyes were burning, and I was completely useless. I felt as though I were coming down with something.

Fortunately, my wife persuaded me to take advantage of the nice weather and go for a walk. At first, I really didn't feel like it, but I started to feel a bit better with every step, and by the end of the walk, I felt significantly better than when I started. However, I was still hungry, so on the way home, I picked up a pizza and a lasagna from my favorite Italian restaurant. The worst part is that I ate it all.

There was no way I could exercise yesterday. But thanks to the walk, I still managed to get a decent number of steps in.

I’d really like to know whether it’s due to the long bike ride on Saturday or if I’m actually coming down with a cold or something similar. After all, I’m still not feeling all that well today.

Mission 80 (Day 91 = 86.5 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 kg / Total loss = 3.5 kg)

I’ve put on a fair amount of weight since yesterday. The reason is obvious: I simply ate way too much. On top of that, everything I ate was high in salt, so my body has likely retained a lot of water. We’ll see how long it takes me to undo the damage from that weak Sunday.

As previously mentioned, I still feel very unfit. It would probably be best to simply listen to my body and take another day or two off. However, I feel the urge to burn at least a few calories. Let's see how I feel over the next few hours.
