Just another day


Hello all.

I am setteling in more and more which means that my akward situations are slowly becoming less and less frequent and although that is great for me, it creates fewer stories to share and laugh about. I have however joined a "gym" and that is always a laugh! This "gym" is more like a bunch of excersice classes that are held in a elementary school gym a few times a week. 99% of the classes are full of women over 40 wearing spandex and sweat bands! I personally participate in the Monday night yoga class, the Tuesday morning nordic walking class (however that ended this week, its been going on for about 2 months) and the AMAZING Wednesday night step class. Although they all are extreamly halarious (mostly just for me, the older women take them seriously) the Wedesday step class is a legit workout and it good fun, except for when you trip over your step, thats just embarassing!


All the classes are a little challenging because they are in german and some of the words just don't translate fast enough in my head, so sometimes I get a tad confused but mostly I just look around and see what the others are doing. Besides all the classes being in German, they are also all led by an extreamly fit woman named Heide. She is a legit tank, she is so strong, but she is really nice so that makes here a tad less intimidating. She also sometimes wears pigtails which, really really makes her less intimidating and on the days she wears brightly coloured hair clips and purple sunglasses she not threat at all!


So if any of you are looking for a good work out in Germany some day, let me know and Ill show you around the Denkendorf "gym".


sidenote: Denkendorf, is another small town (although larger than my village) close by that has the grocery store, butcher, backery, "gym", etc. for all the surronding small towns.


today: clean the whole house, chocolate dip about 100000 cookies to stock up on christmas baking early, step class


p.s the picture is of me in my work shirt a couple of weeks ago when we had a big pumkin selling day. The shirt says Erdbeeren Funck our company/farms name (erdbeeren is german for strawberry and Funck is the grandparents last name)
