…bin ich jetzt bei über 200 Seiten angekommen. Jetzt lese ich gerade Korrektur und bin auf Seite 60. Danach geht es ans Garnieren der einzelnen Kapitel. Wir dürfen also noch in diesem Monat verspätet mit Ostmigranten – 3 rechnen. Aktuell stelle ich mein Jahresprogramm etwas um zu Gunsten: Das Attentat in Dermulo. Dort fehlen mir noch drei Recherchen. Schreiben kann ich es trotzdem schon. Ich…

Ich bin jetzt auf Seite 175., Albert abgeschlossen. Jetzt kommen noch Heinz (Straßenbau), Gustav (Lehrer-Berufsschule) und Manfred (Forsthausgastwirt). Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Lebensläufen hier, sind das etwas kürze Beschreibungen. Ich kenne nicht die gesamte Biografie; aber die grobe Vergangenheit und die spätere Entwicklung in der DDR. Insgesamt hat dieses Migrantenbuch sehr viel Zeit…

Week 2 Check-In

Weigh-in: 74.30 kg

Compared to last week: +0.15 kg

On the surface, the scale barely moved this week. But looking at the bigger picture, that doesn’t tell the full story.

This week included calorie deficits on most days, regular walks, a few cardio sessions, a heatwave over 30°C, and a mix of “real life” eating moments; including ice cream, cookies, and Nutella pretzels.

Fluctuations like this are completely normal. Water retention, heat, salt intake, sleep, and digestion can easily mask fat loss on the scale for several days.

What matters more:

Start (June 8): 76.25 kg Today: 74.30 kg Total loss: -1.95 kg

So even if this week looked flat, the overall trend is still clearly moving in the right direction.

Not every week is a visible drop, but consistency is what builds progress over time. On to week 3.

Changes in 6 days:

-2.10 kg

-0.8 BMI

-0.6% body fat

-1 visceral fat level

+0.4% skeletal muscle

+0.4% body water

-1 year metabolic age

I know a large part of the initial drop is probably water weight, but I'm still proud of this start.

I've stayed

✧ in a calorie deficit every day,

✧ gone for walks regularly,

✧ and kept going even through a migraine day.

The goal isn't perfection. The goal is consistency.

One week down. Many more to go. 💪🌱

I fell off the wagon again, but I’m not giving up

I started this year at 71.45 kg. Now I’m at 76.25 kg.

And honestly? That hurts to admit.

Somewhere along the way, I slipped back into old habits. Emotional eating, too many sweets, too much high-calorie comfort food whenever I felt stressed, sad, overwhelmed, or just mentally exhausted. Instead of fueling my body with what it truly needs, I used food as an escape.

But this time feels different.

Right now, more than ever before, I feel motivated, inspired, and fully dedicated to getting back on track. Not because I hate my body — but because I want to take care of it again. I want to feel strong, healthy, energized, and proud of myself.

I’m going back to regular workouts:

✧ running outside, ✧ cardio sessions on the ergometer indoors, ✧ moving my body consistently instead of making excuses.

And I’m done punishing myself with food that only gives temporary comfort. My body deserves real nutrition. Real fuel. Real care.

This journey was never supposed to be perfect. There will be setbacks. There will be difficult days. But falling off the wagon does not mean the journey is over.

I’m getting back up. And this comeback starts now.

New accountability rule: Weigh-in day will be every Sunday and on the 1st day of every month. No more avoiding the scale. No more pretending things are fine when they’re not. I want to stay honest with myself and track my progress — one step at a time.
