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 (or someone else) 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.

Last day of stage 4 of NRoLfW this morning-- one more day of non-program filler to fill out my week before starting stage 5 on Saturday.

Went swimming last night in our lake -- drought continues to make it drop off, but there is still enough water that it is a) pleasant even in 100 degree temperatures and b) deep enough that I can't walk across the entire thing. (I am short though, so this is not very impressive. Want rain! Lots of rain!)

5 km bicycling.

CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!

Thought my dad and my stepmom were coming tomorrow. Nope. They are coming this afternoon.

Deep cleaning houseworkout: the kitchen counters, the kitchen floor, the entry way, vacuum the stairs, vacuum the upstairs, wash a mountain of towels.

Morning yoga, grocery-hauling, Iyengar class.

Cycling, 14km (and a bit more around town)

Does sweating with every move count, too?

[semielliptical]

Walking, about an hour

[willful_zephyr]

Spin class.

Frantic cleaning burns LOTS of calories.

ALL THE SHOPPING. FIVE HOURS OF SHOPPING.

THIS TOTALLY COUNTS.

This evening's exercise consisted of digging my long-neglected bicycle out of the shed, brushing the spiders and dust off of it, putting air in the tires, and confirming that it still works. The gym where I do my kettlebell classes is moving several miles up the road. It's a walkable distance -- 45 minutes each way instead of the current 15-20, and goodness knows I need the exercise -- but since it's no longer in the neighborhood, and since getting there now involves dealing with busy streets, and since I really don't want to do a KB workout after walking 45 minutes in 100 degree weather on mostly unshaded asphalt, I've decided it's time to resurrect the bike.
