I know Oberpfaffenhoffen...I bet they're right next to each other! That word is my coworkers favorite to say, so it sticks with me haha It's pretty close to me. I've driven through a number of times =D Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

I love walking and weigh training with tankards!

HAHA i was in Southern MA. Prob 20 miles from the RI border. Small world!

Teros! I tried a few challenges last year and I think you were my guild leader then too I think I logged in with another email last year, and can't remember. I had an account associated with this one too though it seems....so here I am! This is the name for my nerd fitness academy character too...so it makes sense to me! In the last 12 months I've been to: Ireland Czech Croatia (twice, I loved it) Italy (4 times, all short trips) Austria (3 times) Switzerland Lichtenstein Netherlands USA Only one of those trips was a cycle tour (Germany/Austria/Switzerland on a 200km trip around a lake). Can't wait for more of that! I've been doing shorter day tours around Bavaria (from Munich to Garmisch Partenkirchen has been the best) I know I'm spoiled now for travel...Most of those were road trips! So many countries in such a small area (said the girl who grew up in the American West...haha)

Just south of Munich! It is great for cycling. There are almost always designated bike paths, and drivers are so much more courteous than New England (only American region I've ridden a bike on the road in). Where were you, and do you ever come back to visit?? I know I'll miss some things about this place

RAINY! The lake is flooded and I think its rained 90% of the the last 6 weeks. For reals. I still managed to get a sun burn from cycling though! haha

Welcome to the adventures of the Queen of Diamonds, otherwise known as the Other Red Queen! Don't worry, I'm the good one ;-) I'm full of love and enthusiasm, with just a hint of snark. None of that "off with her head" garbage from me! Unless you deserve it.... Anyway! My journey brought me to live in Bavaria, Germany this year. While I've been here I've refocused on creating a shiny new and exciting life for myself, which involves losing 60lbs or so and developing some cool hobbies. Status: I'm 30 lbs down, and have been adventuring around central Europe! Primary Goal: Lose Weight This challenge I want to focus on getting from 195 to 185 before I leave for my 2,000km cycle tour on August 10th. Dropping that will make the ride easier! To get there: 1. Continue "Keto-Primal" 90% of the time. I started a "primal" diet in January, but have been very inconsistent. I dropped from 225 to 210 in one bout of seriousness, and from 210 to 205 in another....but they were months apart and involved gaining much of the lost weight back inbetween. All I felt was tired and unsuccessful. Its been a couple weeks on the Keto version of that real-food primal diet, and I finally feel great! I also started crossfit at that time. I finally fit into some smaller clothes! Note: The 10% is the odd day with 30-50 total carbs not a carbtastic extravaganza! 2. Track all the food! 3. Crossfit 3x a week (okay okay this isn't really for weight loss....It just makes me happy and feel strong! I'd rather drag muscle around the North Sea than Fat!) 4. Walk every day Goal 2: Learn some more German: I live here for another year...I need to take advantage of it 1. Enroll in classes (check) 2. ATTEND classes (follow through!) 3. Use Duolingo and Memrise daily 4. Set Rosetta Stone up. Use it. 4x a week. 5. Suck it up and actually speak to people. In German.

Is the Edinburgh meet up still on? I'd love to join! I'm an American woman living in Europe at the moment but Scotland is HIGH on my list for travel! What better way than to meet some fellow nerds!

Im not from Denmark, but I'll be there in August! We should definitely do a meet up!
