Saturday JANUARY 1, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN, Check-In!

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, EED community!

Happy New Year! May it bring you peace, joy, and happiness!

If you are posting for the first time, or new to the community, please review the community's standards, below.


1. Mod (that's me!) will post a Daily Check In post, for those who prefer to note their daily activities in response to a prompt. Please only place exercise comments here.

2. All members are encouraged to post daily independent posts about their activities, if they prefer that to a prompt.

3. Please place any NON-EXERCISE comments in independent update posts and behind a cut. Some people are sensitive to discussion of diet and nutrition. That is integral to many people's exercise activities, so I want members to be able to discuss that, but for those who are here strictly to log exercise, I would like them to be able to avert their eyes.

4. Everyone is encouraged to introduce themselves, discuss their exercise goals, and post updates on their activities. "I finally made it to running a mile!" or "I kicked up into handstand today!" are updates that we all want to hear about and share! Please put long posts and entries involving diet and nutrition behind a cut, though.

5. Aside from intro posts and injury announcements, please try to include an exercise update in every post.

OMG WE ARE IN THE FUTURE!!!

Mostly a rest day, but with about 40 minutes' noodling around with a new DVD (yoga and dance stuff; I want to try to develop a bit more fluidity and co-ordination).

Happy New Year, all!

Only two more days of break *tear* so I spent part of it with Bryan Kest, Level 2. Rodney gets his quality time later. I can still do Tree pose today! It wasn't a fluke!

And you have an icon for it, too! Excellent! *g*

I'm going to reward myself with an icon for each new pose I master. Much cheaper than a tattoo.

About 15 minutes of gentle yoga. I overindulged last night and was feeling sick and sorry for myself today. Then I stumbled on an article, Too much to drink? Try yoga and decided I didn't want to let the first day of the year pass without at least some exercise. It wasn't an instant cure, of course, but I do feel more energetic.

Yoga on the WiiFit plus a couple goes through Step Aerobics, as well as at least 15 minutes of workouts on Sports Active. I suspect I'll end up using both of them, and then hopefully once we get into cooler weather (or when my GF starts work early and thus I'm up early in the mornings) I'll add walking and hopefully eventually jogging.

Anyway, I believe that I've done at least 25 to 30 minutes every day for the past week, even when I haven't managed to record it here.

Yoga in the morning, then again in the evening. I didn't even care how many weird looks I'd get from the other people at the party (not all that many, as it turned out) because yoga is so good at getting me to stop and breathe and let the anxiety go away.
