Hi Actifitters,

yesterday, upper-body training was on the agenda again. I did overhand pull-ups with resistance band assistance, dumbbell lateral and front raises, dumbbell curls, and, of course, close-grip push-ups. The tables show my current progress with the push-ups.

The next goal according to the training plan (47+):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
9	11	8	8	max (min. 11)	60 seconds

My previous attempt (37):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
9	11	8	5	4	60 seconds

Yesterdays attempt (40):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
9	11	8	7	5	60 seconds

As you can see, I managed to improve by three repetitions compared to the last workout. I still need seven more to reach my current goal. Let's see how long it takes until I get there.

The first days of my "Mission 80" are over, and I’ve already lost 1.7 kilos. Of course, I realize this isn't a meaningful figure, since it’s impossible to lose that much fat in such a short time; it’s more likely that my body’s water balance has shifted. While it would actually make more sense to weigh myself only once a week, I weigh myself every day regardless.

Mission 80 (Day 2 = 88.3 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0)

Aside from my mandatory steps, there won't be any physical activity today. I simply don't have the time. For one thing, I have to go to the office, and for another, I have a dentist appointment beforehand.
