Hamburg Day 6 - Packing and the journey home... my training diary entry from September 16 2026
(I took the photo of Hamburg City Hall the day before yesterday, when we walked from Jungfernstieg to the Landungsbrücken.)
Hi Actifitters,
yesterday was spent mostly on the train, as it was the day we headed home. Our time in Hamburg flew by far too quickly—though that is essentially the case with every vacation. The only things left on the agenda for our short trip were packing our bags, checking out of the hotel, and heading to Hamburg Central Station. We had a good hour to spare there, so we decided to grab a burger and have one last Astra beer at Schweinske, a restaurant chain.
Our train departed right on time and even arrived in Munich four minutes early. We can consider ourselves truly lucky to have had such good fortune with our train connections on both of our short trips. That is the kind of thing other Deutsche Bahn customers only dream of.
After arriving home, we unpacked our suitcases. Afterwards, I went for a walk to hit my 10,000-step goal. (Unfortunately, Actifit once again recorded too few steps, but I’ve gotten used to that by now. I usually don’t even mention it anymore.) Then it was just a quick shower and off to bed. Travel days really tire you out, even though you’re basically just sitting on the train.
Mission 80 (Day 80 = 87.3 / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 / Total loss = 2.7 kg)
I could hardly bear to look when I stepped on the scale today for the first time since Friday. As feared, I’ve put on quite a bit of weight. Given my eating habits while on vacation, anything else would have been a miracle. ;-)
So, I am now a good three kilos away from my personal best, and I will resume the battle against the kilos immediately.
Even though my body doesn't feel up to peak performance right now, I’m going to start exercising again today. The plan is reverse pull-ups, a few dumbbell exercises, and a session on the bike. Let's see what's possible today.
