Sunday, May 29, 2011, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

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.

This is how much I love square dancing: I went out in the hot bright sun and danced for half an hour. Between driving an hour to get there and an hour to get back. The dehydration headache and upset stomach have not yet gone away, though, so I suspect I am not going dancing today the way I'd planned.

One hour of walking.

This weekend I failed exercise wise.

Swimming, 1km, 10 intervals and steady state. I am proud of myself, because my sleep cycle is a mess, and by the time I was ready to go, there wasn't a whole lot of time before the pool closing time. Often when this happens I throw up my hands and stay at home. Tonight I went and did my workout. I only got ten minutes of sauna time in (normally I like to allow as much time as I spent exercising to relax in the spa and sauna afterwards) but I did it and felt better for it.

I've got a bit of a bug which explains why I've been so knackered the last couple of days. Couple of rests days. We'll see how tomorrow plays out.

Vacuumed both upstairs and downstairs.
(The windstorm today is making my bad back hurt like hell, so I daren't do anything more strenuous.)

Morning yoga, bit of walking, headed off to the gym in the evening OH NOEZ UNEXPECTED GYM CLOSURE.

I'm calling this as an unplanned rest day.

ETA: I did do some related writing, though:

On exercising whilst crazy (or: how I got so flexible)

Played some badminton and went paddle boating. Took a bit of a walk, too. We were at a picnic so exercise was casual.

[willful_zephyr]

Vinyasa yoga, then a hour playing around the pool.

[semielliptical]

About an hour of yard work.

Double rest day, all the way across the sky~
