This week’s stats:
Walking: 5 mi
Yoga/Pilates/Barre: 20 min
Meditation: 30 min
I am linking up again for the Weekly Run Down with Kim and Deborah.
I’ve been keeping it very low-key this week. I am with my family in Germany and just soaked up family time to the fullest. I prioritized rest and quality time with people I don’t get to see very often. It feels a little strange to not move as much, but rest has never done any harm, especially after an intense workout period. We had a couple of nice days, cold but sunny – perfect for a couple of nice outdoor walks.
Monday
- 128 min Just Walk: Outdoor
We went to Cologne and walked around the Christmas Markets. I am counting this as my daily exercise.
Tuesday
- 10 Min Family Meditation: Holiday – Kristin (12/5/22)
We had a busy day preparing for Christmas festivities (Germans main celebration is on Christmas Eve), so I did a holiday meditation in the morning to get my blue dot.
Wednesday
- 30 Min Nutcracker Walk – Jon (12/17/24)
It was a low-key family day and I went for a nice walk in the afternoon with (my) Jon and my mom!
Thursday
- 10 Min Hanukkah Meditation – Anna (12/23/24)
I really liked Anna’s Hanukkah meditation. Highly recommend! In the afternoon, Tanja and Herbert stopped by for a visit! Hooray.
Friday
- 94 min Just Walk: Outdoor
I got to go for a long walk with Tanja in the morning! And there were blue skies and sunshine.
Saturday
- 10 Min Morning Meditation – Aditi (12/10/24)
Another family day. My uncle and aunt came over for the day, so I did a quick morning meditation after I woke up. I didn’t know if I would have the chance for anything else during the day.
Sunday
- 20 Min Hanukkah Restorative Yoga – Anna (12/8/23) — Personal Streak/Serenity Sunday
I joined the Streakers365 Serenity Sunday Restorative Yoga class.
Current Challenges + Trackers:
My yoga tracker is a big, fat fail this month. Oh well, I’ll try again in 2025.

December 29, 2024 at 2:54 pmI am glad you are giving yourself permission to rest and lean more into meditation and walking. I love German Christmas markets so I bet it was so fun to wander around one! I hadn’t worked out since Christmas Eve when I did a Caroline Girvan workout. I got sick on Christmas Day and then we were at my parents. But I got back on track today and worked out this afternoon when we got home. Will played quietly in the basement while I did a CG Fuel workout which was nice!!
