Frustrating workday with little exercise... my training diary entry from November 4 2026
(Here is another lovely shot from a vacation in Greece. I took this photo from my host’s property, but this time facing a different direction.)
Hi Actifitters,
unfortunately, I once again wasn't able to complete my workout yesterday the way I had intended. Due to hardware issues with my work laptop, I spent half the day dealing with our IT department. That, followed by two calls that dragged on forever, made a focused workout impossible—so, with a heavy heart, I decided to skip my pull-up session.
To help combat the frustration and ensure I got at least some exercise in, I turned on Zwift after work and tackled the "Climb of the Week" again-this time the 75% version. Here are some numbers:
Duration - 0:21:24
Distance - 7.47 km
Elevetaion gain - 238 m
Average speed - 21.0 km/h
Maximum speed - 88.6 km/h
Average power output - 234 watts
Maximum power output - 404 watts
Average heart rate - 148 bpm
Maximum heart rate - 181 bpm
Average cadence - 86
Maximum cadence - 11
Calories - 288
Mission 80 (Day 129 = 88.2 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 kg / Total loss = 1.8 kg)
Today the scale showed 200 grams more again. But since I was 600 grams lighter yesterday, I don’t think it’s a big deal. The main thing is that, from now on, the trend heads toward 80 kg.
Since I have to head into the office today, there unfortunately isn’t much time for exercise again. I’m going to try to squeeze in the reverse pull-up workout—which I missed yesterday—before I start work.
Daily HSBI raffle (The rules)
Congratulations @burn950, you won today's share... it has already been sent.

That's all for today.
Be kind to each other and keep moving!
Even if you didn’t follow your planned workout, you still managed to get some exercise in via Zwift—that in itself is a sign of consistency.
Greece must be a beautiful 😍 country.
Thanks:) !WINE
I hope whatever problem you’re having at work gets sorted out. Btw, Congratulations to the winner!
Hardware issues and endless calls can really throw off any schedule, but hopping on Zwift despite all that friction shows incredible discipline. Pushing through a 75% climb version after such a hectic day is a win in itself.
The sky is clear and shiny making the day very bright

The minor setback today on weight loss can be a motivation for more workouts
Half a day lost to IT and two calls that dragged on forever, no wonder the workout never happened, at least the Greece photo makes the frustration look good.
