Back to town. My Actifit Diary: July 23 2026

Oh my, am I tired! And I still have Tang Soo Do classes today… Survival mode it is. We actually had a nice day. After a rough night with many thoughts, the morning

Escape. My Actifit Diary: July 22 2026

There is none, but I can at least try. So I jump at every chance to get out. This time, it was the Intag again. Kami was invited to a birthday party on a farm that

160kg. My Actifit Diary: July 21 2026

Made a new record! Leg press, 160kg, 8 clean repetitions. Next step will be 12 clean repetitions. Then another bump in weight. Feels good to get it done, although

Made it through. My Actifit Diary: July 20 2026

I can’t say that today was my favorite day. Usually it is one of my favorites, Lily’s birthday. But just not being there with her is a drag already. Then her mom,

Not sure about today. (Favorites from last week)

Photos is being inconsiderate with me. "Do you remember that day 1 year ago? 2 years ago? 3 years ago?" Yes. Of course I do. And yes, I remember all those

Recovery. My Actifit Diary: July 19 2026

After the experiences on Saturday, Sunday was definitely a slow day. But I got everything done that needed to be done, slowly, and tiredly. My legs were kind of

Quite the day! My Actifit Diary: July 18 2026

Ellie had to get up earlier yesterday to see what was up with Kami. The latter is helping to walk a dog while the owners are on vacation. In the meantime, I wrote

Nothing really happened.My Actifit Diary: July 17 2026

The definition of a mixed day. Everything just kind of weird. Gym went well, shoulder and back, and I’m getting to the point where I can handle the high weights

Cars. My Actifit diary: July 16 2026

While the market was going today - Kami sold almost all.of her cookies, and I sold those of mine that were left -, there was an important thing in the afternoon.

Do you have a magical place that you always return to? That has a special vibe to it, bringing you peace and clarity for no reason? When you sit down next to it,

Nothing and everything. My Actifit Diary: July 15 2026

I had to get up early today. Not for the gym or work, but to take Ellie to the doctor, an endoscopy. Routine check, nothing really turned up, which is good. A month

Back on track? My Actifit Diary: July 14 2026

A very productive day I must admit. Went to the gym early and was starting my second round when Ellie texted that she had just woke up. While leaving the gym, messages

Uncertain. My Actifit Diary: July 13 2026

I’m not sure what to make of today. I think it was productive. I just don’t know how much. I woke up as always, but since Ellie was next to me, I decided to dose

Courthouse walks. (Last week's favorites)

Last week was a mixed bag. I think I took the best pictures just randomly, without thinking too much. Just something that I said "Oh, I could take a picture

Sleepy Sunday. My Actifit Diary: July 12 2026

It was Sunday. We slept in, I went to the market and got almost everything I needed/wanted. Ellie had to leave early since she was a godmother for a confirmation,

Lazy day. My Actifit Diary: July 11 2026

What a wonderfully lazy morning! I got up early, played a LOT of Splinterlands, and then made coffee and breakfast and woke Ellie up when I got bored – it was almost

Time flies by. My Actifit Diary: July 10 2026

A mixed day. Maybe positive. Early up, rise and shine, very good and focused workout at the gym. Kami was on time - no, early, she emphasized that as I always make

Thursday again. My Actifit Diary: July 9 2026

Thursday is market day! And today, Kami was with me. I was tired. For some reason I woke up at 5.30am, thinking that the cat had come in as I had left the window

The 5th time wasn't the charme either.My Actifit Diary: July 8 2026

I got up extra early today. Getting everything done in time to hit the gym, then go to Lily's old school and pick up her stuff from last school year, and then meet
