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.

Short weight routine.

Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps. I realize this produces arms of steel. Right now they feel more like arms of Silly Putty.

Standard Arms and Abdominals
Bad day for the "ol laydee hip" so:

Went to the State Fair and walked around. Then home for some Shovelglove.

Some involuntary running - I forgot something at home and had to run to be in time for my train - and a little walk.

Pilates class at lunch.

Hi! I'm a Jack. Or a Jace, depending who you ask. I answer to both.
My summer job ended and classes started up this week, which means I'm going from 8 hours of physical labor to...sitting in a chair. With far too much nervous energy left over, and not a lot of focus, and generally too much thinking myself into knots.

Yoga's a not-exactly-new thing - that started about a month ago. But today, I found myself with my face miraculously on the floor in wide-angle seated forward bend going "...WAIT WHAT. When did this happen?!" I haven't decided whether I'm more stunned or pleased. (Also, I can breathe! But that's another topic.)

So today: 25 minutes of yoga when I woke up, 25 just now before bed, and then 5.5 miles on a stationary bike / 2 on an elliptical. The college fitness center is my new (okay, old) best friend.
