Last day of training before vacation... my training diary entry from October 10 2026
(This photo was taken on Tuesday evening while I was out jogging with my wife. Sunsets can be truly impressive.)
Hi Actifitters,
yesterday, I managed to motivate myself to burn a good amount of calories before heading off on vacation. I started with close-grip push-ups, lateral raises, and shoulder presses.
The following tables show where I currently stand with the close-grip push-ups. I’m curious to see what my performance will be like after the vacation; after all, it will be a 12-day break before I work out seriously again.
The next goal according to the training plan (72+):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 13 | 13 | max (min. 17) | 60 seconds |
My previous attempt (56):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 12 | 8 | 7 | 60 seconds |
Yesterdays attempt (57):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 13 | 8 | 7 | 60 seconds |
Afterwards, I spent two hours on the bike at a low wattage. I was able to burn a good number of calories during this session. Here are a few stats from the endurance workout.

Mission 80 (Day 104 = 85.6 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 kg / Total loss = 4.4 kg)
Today, I stepped on the scale for the last time for a while. The next measurement is on the 23rd. I’m already a bit apprehensive about the number that awaits me then. I know from experience that discipline tends to go out the window while on vacation. But that’s okay. I’ll just have to show some discipline again after that. There really won’t be any more excuses between 23rd and Christmas.
Since I’m heading to the airport in half an hour, the only exercise I’m getting today is pushing my suitcase.
