Hi Actifitters,

I had actually planned a full upper-body workout for yesterday. In the end, I limited myself to dumbbell curls, overhand pull-ups, and, of course, close-grip push-ups. Unfortunately, I didn't see any improvement; the number of repetitions was identical to the last session. That’s somewhat disappointing, but ofها course I’ll stick with it. Here are the figures for 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 (40):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
9	11	8	7	5	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 for my weight-loss challenge, yesterday the scale showed 300 grams more than the day before yesterday.

Mission 80 (Day 4 = 88.9 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0)

Today I weighed 89.2 kilos. That means I’m up another 300 grams compared to yesterday. If this keeps up, I’ll soon weigh 100 kilos instead of 80. ;)

But that is precisely the problem with weighing yourself every day: you simply don't get meaningful values. For this reason, you really should only weigh yourself once a week. Of course, I’m not letting that discourage me; I’ll keep diligently weighing myself every day until the time comes and I’ve reached my goal.

Mission 80 (Day 5 = 89.2 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0)

What kind of physical activity I’ll do today is still completely up in the air. Maybe I’ll go to the lake with my wife for a swim, or maybe I’ll just go for a long walk. I’ll just wait and see.
