Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Hope everyone is having a great day!

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.

Dog walked, and shovelglove.

Morning yoga, barbells. I actually got to add some weight to my overhead press, even if it meant finding the tiniest pixie plates in the weights room! And my back squat has improved a bit, too. I've started having the little clicky moments of realization about how a lift works that I do with yoga poses, which is really interesting.

Yoga, 45 minutes.

[natmerc]

40min of yoga, varying intensity.

Last night I went to a gig and danced a lot, which has to count for something, and then when I came back I did a little yoga before falling into bed.

CLEANED ALLA THINGS, involving much running up and down stairs and shoving vacuum around. Also, yoga. Nine rounds of the arm strengthener plank thing before my arms gave out.

Over on Slacktivist we're talking about how the new year used to be in spring and it makes more sense to start the new year when everything's shiny new than in the dead of winter. Also I've heard quitting electronics half an hour before bed aids sleep. Therefore BE IT RESOLVED that starting tonight there will be twenty minutes of yoga every night last thing before shower and bed.
