    Just finished Hard Reset on monday, so another one in the books :) All in all, I'd say the situation is improving, with some hiccups. I've been doing better at the no yelling challenge, and we made it through my older daughter's first day of school yesterday - complete with having her dad over...

    Back to badass

    Thank you so much for your posts, @Mamatigerj , @Tileenah , and @Fremen ! Today is a holiday here, and as my parents took the girls out in their Camper for two nights, I spent the painting the hallway while listening to music. We've been living in this apartment for more than six years, most of...

    Wow, it's been a long long time again, and this will be a short post because it's already late and I still need to meditate before going to bed. I finished Zen on friday, so yay, me ;). I'm on day 20 of Hard Reset Strength. My nice girly blue 2kg dumbbells are probably a little on the light...

    ZEN - Early Release

    Love it! This looks doable time-wise, and I can certainly use some yoga and meditation in my life. And for some reason it's so much easier for me to "do a program" than "meditate more". So thank you for this.

    8 weeks to 5K progression

    That would be exactly my recommendation. I've done the Half Marathon program in what feels like an earlier life, and as it fit my schedule pretty well, I just kept repeating the two weeks leading up to the 10k. But there are plenty running programs with ideas to either switch things up within...

    Long time without posting, but I have been working out, which is the most important thing. I just finished Unbound and Shadebound. I think I'll redo Power HIIT next. I felt it helped a lot with my posture and was good for the pelvic floor issues, which feel has deteriorated some. Maybe I'll get...

    What are you currently reading?

    I'm now on Equal Rites and just finished the magical duel between Granny Weatherwax and the Archchancellor of Unseen University, which is one of the scenes I love (and I know now they will reluctantly embark on an adventure together getting Esk's staff back which has all the ingredients of a...

    What are you currently reading?

    I just stumbled upon this, and even though the post is old, I'll have to agree, even though I'm not a translator (which must be the coolest job ever, by the way). When I read a German translation of an English book, I keep back-translating it in my head and it sucks. And if the original is in...

    Hello and good morning! I'm going to try to make this quick, as I'm on the train to work and need to get my grocery shopping done before I enter the zone of s***** internet. I finished PowerHIIT last night, and I'm very happy with how that turned out. I have very little time after the kids are...

    Do you wanna dance! Shake it baby!

    Just living life on the 4th floor without an elevator should give you, say, a 10% discount on any squat work. Just sayin' :LOL:

    Do you wanna dance! Shake it baby!

    Totally counts for the streak. I do the same thing. Cycling (even though Munich is not hilly), painting a room, assembling IKEA furniture... all of them, if done intensely/long enough, count as a workout.

    Here comes a very long post detailing the sad history of kiddie-sickness last week. Feel free to skip the first three paragraphs :) Sorry for the long delay. I didn't fall off the waggon, it was more that I had a week from kiddie-sickness hell last week and am still in recovery. Sunday night...

    Fail Forward

    I think the commercials were for cake mix. A very happy large family eating cake from cake mix in a sunny garden. Okay, mind officially blown. Yes! I can take or leave the bacon, there can be pickled cucumbers or no pickled cucumbers, or even fresh ones, or my mom has a good recipe with...
