exercise_every_dayHey, 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.

Date: 2011-05-19 02:01 pm (UTC)Missed another spin class this morning. Lost track of time last night and I couldn't face getting up after only 4 hours of sleep to exercise. Missed Tuesday too.
I find it so hard to get into any habit of exercise and it's so fragile and easy to disrupt. Within a week, it's harder and harder to "find time" or "make time".

Date: 2011-05-19 05:01 pm (UTC)This morning involved 14 minutes of intervals on the stationary bike. Level five is feeling not very fast (though it still feels like work staying there for the full minute) but I have not yet convinced my body it can keep up level seven for longer than thirty seconds; most of the time it's all I can do do manage level six by the last round of 'fast'.

Date: 2011-05-20 04:27 am (UTC)I thought I'd use the recommended 45 lb plate but quickly decided that although I'm strong enough, I'm not coordinated enough to maintain good form while doing a bunch of burpees with it in a row while on the clock.
And this is the eternal dilemma of CrossFit: you're asked to move as much weight as you can as fast as you can and with mechanically correct form. But there comes a point where you can do the workout well, you can do it quickly, or you can do it with lots of weight/resistance...pick two out of three. If you don't want to hurt yourself, you have to constantly remember to focus on form and compromise on speed or weight. I'm happy to say I didn't hurt myself, but the awkwardness of lugging that weight plate made me worry a couple of times.
