Baking Bread (not Braking Bad) and Couchsurfing... my training diary entry from November 8 2026

Hi Actifitters,

Since Garmin prescribed a day of recovery for me, I skipped training entirely yesterday—though I did make sure to get my steps in.

Aside from that, I tried out a very simple bread recipe yesterday that uses spelt flour, baking powder, salt, and low-fat quark, resulting in a much more balanced macronutrient profile than conventional bread. It actually tastes surprisingly good; I’ll definitely be baking it again.

Apart from baking, my Sunday was spent entirely on the sofa. YouTube and a film or two made the time fly by, before—as befits older folks—I headed off to bed around 10 p.m.

Mission 80 (Day 133 = 89.0 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 kg / Total loss = 1.0 kg)

I have decided to stop pestering you daily with "Mission 80" from now on. Clearly, I am not as disciplined as I thought; otherwise, I would surely have reached my goal by now—after 133 days. Embarrassingly, I weigh only 1 kilo less than I did at the start.

From now on, there will only be an update on Mondays. I’m taking this small change as a new source of motivation—a way to report on my weight loss from week to week.

Another stressful day working from home lies ahead of me today. Still, I’ll try to get at least a little bit of exercise in. We’ll see what’s possible.
