'Evening! Saw one of my sisters today. They all ooze charm! She said, OMG, you look like you're storing acorns in your cheeks, just like a squirrel! Yep, that's what I look like! Took a short walk today but no weights for a while.
Deb, I love it when things get cancelled, so it is like bonus time! Unfortunately, now thanks to Zoom and Google Meets, things rarely get cancelled, just moved to online meetings! How early do you have to get up to babysit? How do you manage to get anything else done on those days?
Belinda, safe travels, and am happy for you to see your extended family and spend the time with everyone. Hope you could sleep on the plane.

Hi,
Today was a walk outside & Cathe Gym Style legs. My older DS was visiting his gf in FL and came home today. He was shocked how cold it was & that it gets dark so early. I believe it's about 30 minutes more daylight.
Belinda - I hope all went well with your travels.
Cookie - Hopefully you are not in pain. Feel better. Only a sister can get away with that
I get up around 5:15AM, for most people I'm sure that is normal. We also do not sleep well anticipating getting up in time. I am a night owl so not for me, but it is a good reason to get up. I say it is the one day of week I see the sunrise but I do prefer sunsets.
Goodnight

vening,
We had a rough day after we landed in Munich. There was a problem with the rental car, it took forever to strengthen that out. I realized at the car rental at the airport looking at our language at the cart, Sadie stroller wasn’t there. Nobody at the airport was willing to help us locate the stroller (the stroller was still at baggage clam. We already left the security. Finally we found Delta service center, they were useless. She ask one of us to go back through security than go to baggage clam and look ourselves, WTH? I am not kidding DH had to go through security then look for the stroller. I will put in a complaint. In the US Delta wouldn’t let you do that. We landed at 8:40 am didn’t leave Munich airport until 12 pm. I was tired, hungry and not in a good mood. It took us another 1.5 hours to drive to Garmisch Partenkirchen. We didn’t get any Euro at the airport we figured we pay the apartment with the credit card. We couldn’t understand why non of our credit cards worked? We found out later on there was a problem world wide. At that point we been up for over 24 hours trying every ATM machines in the area. No look. The owner was so nice, they said we can pay later or when we leave. They also gave us a nice welcome basket with organic fruits and products. They have a organic grocery store downstairs. Today we finally got some cash, yeah! We walked around Garmisch for over 1.5 hours. It’s so cold here, they have snow already. I needed to walk around. My legs are so swollen. They feel a little better now. I was so tired yesterday, for some reason I couldn’t sleep last night. Jet leg is kicking in. I hope I get a better night sleep tonight.
I didn‘t wanted to bring a lot of workout equipment to Germany. I figured I walk a lot. I did bring my travel yoga mat, loops and bands.
Today I did Pilates full body with the loops and lots of walking. Got in a lot of steps today.
Debbie - thank you. Great job on GS legs. Enjoy your time with your DS/girlfriend.
Cookie - thank you. Next week we will met up with my kids in Nürnberg. They plant a lot of things to do. I am excited to see them all and spent time in Germany with them. I hope you feel better.
Hopefully I am more wake tomorrow. Good night.

'Evening! Did some Essentrics and balance exercised, but still am taking it easy. The swelling isn't quite as bad as yesterday, but still considerable.
Deb, did you mention that four-letter white stuff weather to your ds? Then he'd really be shocked. Does the getting up early one day a week impact your sleep cycle? Unfortunately, I see many sunrises.
Belinda, sorry you had that problem at the airport. How did Sadie take the flight? Glad you're settled, adn the place sounds amazing. Enjoy!

Hi,
Today was a walk outside & zoom yoga. My neighbor's dd (yoga instructor) is coming home for Thanksgiving which is nice. I'm hoping she teaches an in person class.
Belinda - I'm happy you are settling in, sorry travel was rough. It sounds like you brought the right things for working out. I'm sure you will do so much walking. Did you bring your compression pants?
Cookie - Happy to hear your swelling is getting better and you are taking it easy Getting up early one day a week does impact my schedule. I do take a nap when the baby does so that really helps.
Goodnight

Hi,
Today lots of walking and Pilates abs. It‘s been snowing all day long. We still had a lot of fun. They expecting a lot of snow tomorrow, not sure what we will do?
Debbie - no compression socks They hurt after 8 hour flights anyway. That is great your yoga instructor is coming home for TG. Will you do live workouts with her?
Cookie - we settled in fine. Sadie took a long nap during the flight. She is so easy to travel with. She got her flying wings again. The stewardesses loved her. Everything they walked by they played with Sadie. Glad you taking it easy. Great job on your workouts.
I am getting tired. Still dealing with Jetlag.

'Evening! A short walk today, but still am swollen. Did meetings by Zoom and hid my camera. Didn't want any more chipmunk/squirrel comparisons!
Deb, having a change like that one day a week would be disruptive to my sleep. I've been trying to get more sleep lately, so that's why I was wondering if it also affects you. Hope your neighbor does a live yoga class.
Belinda, thankful Sadie did so well on the trip. I usually pack a deck of cards, Phase 10, and Uno which get us thru bad weather days.

Hi,
Today was a walk outside & Cathe Gym Style Back, shoulders & bi's. My yoga instructor is teaching a 90 minute class this Sunday at the yoga studio my SIL's goes to. My SIL decided to sign up too, should be fun. Hopefully a very long savasana.
Belinda - Wow, surprised how much snow you are getting. It must be pretty to see. How cute that Sadie got her flying wings and the stewardesses loved her. Great job with your walking & Pilates abs.
Cookie - It must be difficult to eat. TG, Thanksgiving is still a week away It's nice that there is a feature to hid yourself with zoom.

Hi,
this morning I did a 40 min Pilates class OnDemand.
It was snowing so bad, we didn‘t wanted to risk going outside. After a few hours we decided to drive to Schloss Linderhof (king Ludwigs castle). I been there so many times, it’s always breathtaking to see. It was snowing so beautiful despite the cold/snow. We also went to Oberammergau and Ettal ( monks make their own beer). I will attach a picture.
Debbie - it is very pretty all that snow. Lots of snow here. Great job on your walk and GS BST. Doing a 90 min yoga on Sunday sounds like fun.
Cookie - Sadie is a good travel companion. Great job on your walk. People can be so rude sometimes. I would have turned off the camera too. The place we stay do have lots of games to use. I am to tired by the time we get back all I want to do is sleep.
Good night.

'Evening! Another walk today, and the weather wasn't too bad once it warmed up. My son who lives in Spain came in tonight for a two-week visit. He's staying the night with one of my other son's and we'll go pick him up tomorrow. DD is coming in, and a couple of days later an onslaught of relatives will arrive. My dh said he's already looking forward to everyone leaving!
Deb, 90 minutes sounds fab with a long savasana. How nice your sil joined so she can attend also. I haven't had a chance to do any Thanksgiving prep, other than buying a turkey.
Belinda, that castle is amazing. We've visited there, and the other sites you've mentioned in the past. Truly beautiful area. I'm not surprised Sadie drew such admiration from others. Relax and enjoy!

Hi,
Today was a walk outside & Cathe Gym Style Chest & Tri's. The weather wasn't too bad just no sun today.
Belinda - It sounds like you are having an amazing trip. I hope to go to Germany in a couple of years, would love to see the castles. Are they good with clearing the snow in Germany? Great job with your Pilates class.
Cookie - Wow, lots of visitors. It will be so much fun, but I'm sure lots of work. I can see your DH's point. You will both need to rest afterwards. I just bought my turkey today too.
Goodnight

Hi,
Today I did a relaxing evening stretch on the wall. It was perfect after running around all day lon
Tomorrow Pilates has a live zoom class in the morning my time. I will try to take that class.
Debbie - great job on your walk and GS CT. If you get an opportunity I would highly recommend to visit Germany. I eat so much food I haven‘t eating in 3 years. Thank goodness for walking.
Cookie - you have a full house with family. How fun! LOL, about your husband. I agree with Debbie you both need to rest afterwards.
Good night.

Hi,
Today we babysat because the kids went to NYC for DILs birthday. We walked to the park, the weather wasn't too bad. We are going to get a bite to eat.
Belinda - I would love to go to Germany and enjoy the authentic German food. I'm sure the walking offsets everything as well as the Pilates
Cookie - I'm sure you have a bunch of things to do before Thursday. How are you feeling, still swollen?
Have a great weekend

Evening,
I did a live zoom Pilates class tonight.For some reason the Pilates calendar hasn‘t converted to the right time, it showed 9 am last night, this morning it showed 9 pm. I wasn‘t sure if I had the energy to do a live Pilates class late evening, glad I did.
We visit the Christmas market here in Garmisch Partenkirchen. It was cute put a small Christmas market. They had a park near by, so we walked at the park. I couldn‘t believe how many people walked in the park on the icy pathways. After a mile I had enough, I was afraid I slip and hit my head Thank goodness, I was pushing Sadies stroller, lol. Afterwards we went back to the house we rented at lunch and took of driving to another Christmas market, somehow we ended up in Austria instead, lol. If we would have been going further we would ended up in Italy, lol We spend some time in Austria than headed back to Garmisch. The temperatures started to drop quickly, we didn’t wanted to be caught up driving in icy/snowy roads. They expecting a snow storm tomorrow. Looks like we are staying at the house tomorrow unless the roads are safe to drive. They are doing am amazing job keeping the roads clear especially on the Autobahns.
Debbie - the food is so good. I can‘t wait to go to my home town next week and eat food from Franconia. For some reason, my iPad allowing me to post pictures, I can‘t make the pictures smaller to post on Cathe‘s forum. I will try. Glad you and the kids went to the park. It‘s freezing here, it was 35 this afternoon.

Hi,
Today was a walk outside & a short leg workout. The food store were crazy today, when it is difficult to park and no carts are available it's bad. I just ran in for a couple of things will go back again in the morning.
Belinda - So much snow, the Christmas markets, drives and food sound amazing. I saw an advertisement for a Christmas market in my town I think I will go to see it. I'm sure it doesn't compare to the markets in Germany. Great getting in a zoom class. I forgot about the Autobahns, is it scary to drive on? I have a hard time posting pictures on the forums too.
Cookie - Happy prepping for Thanksgiving!

'Evening! It's been rather crazy over here. We had thought my son, dil, and child were coming on Wednesday, but they showed up late this afternoon. Already my house looks like a tornado has gone thru it!
Deb, yes, I still have swelling, and I'm surprised to be still sore one week later. You're making so many memories with the little guy. Do you ever feel like you need a nap after babysitting?
Belinda, what a wonderful time at the Christmas market. It must be beautiful there with the snow. Glad you are enjoying it so much.

Belinda - I hope you didn't get too much snow. I'm sure you had lots of fun anyway
Cookie - Wow, a toddler in the house must be fun but crazy too. She will be the light of the weekend. I always feel like I need a nap after babysitting I also try a short nap when he naps.

Deb, I get the needing of a nap! You sure had a full day planned for today. Hope you got to relax during the hair appointment.
