Daily Check-in: Saturday, June 12th

Hi FB Fam!

How are you all doing today?

First, let me introduce myself quickly, since I haven't ghosted before: My name is Julia, and my nickname Juliska is a variation on that. For now, I've settled in Southern Germany with my horse and jungle of balcony plants. :)

In terms of workouts, are you sweating or resting today? I'm still taking a bit of a break from heavy workouts after (almost) completing Fit3, so either today or tomorrow its last kickboxing routine is on my schedule. Otherwise: lots of stretching with the Reach Challenge!

Like Kim's pups demonstrated yesterday, having some watermelon sounds like a good plan in this heat, but solid food needs to happen as well in my house. I might fry up some sweet potatoes and leek to have with soba noodles tonight, though I have yet to try cold soba noodles for a refreshing summer dish. What is on your menu?

I'm looking forward to read from you for my very first ghost check-in! Most likely you will have seen me lurking around and post sporadically - I'm less shy than 15 years ago, but still very much so, so this is kinda a big deal. 😃 Though if you do get me talking about plants, music, food, workouts or pathology, I might just talk your ear off. I am glad for the safe space this community is. On that note, happy Saturday to y'all, hope you have a good one!

PS: Photo - 7:30 am on the way to work the other day, promising to be a hot one. Like today, minus the work!

PPS: Hats off to Raven and Kim, thanks to whom there are countless catchy tunes stuck on repeat in my brain. The latest one is The Picturebooks ft Lzzy Hale - Rebel.
