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.

Weights! Squats, overhead press, deadlifts. (Also pullups. I did 5 in a row! \o/ Someday I will use a real pullup bar instead of hanging off the bunk bed and then I will discover how the friction of sliding against the bed is affecting things. But even if the friction has been the equivalent of making the pullups assisted, I'm still able to do more of them than I used to be.)

I don't know if I'm just tired/sore from yesterday or if my squats are getting heavy enough again, but they felt harder today than I was expecting. Press and deadlifts continue as expected. Need more grip practice. I foresee more farmers carries in my future.

Rest day... my hip is acting up because of the run on thursday.
So, today it's sauna and whirl pool.

Playing catch-up here...

Thursday was spent driving and eating. Friday I jogged for about an hour or so. Today I did push-ups and hollow-body rocks and supermans, and will soon be driving again.

After a week of illness and a week of travel, back to the Y today. Weights and rowing and I feel MUCH better.
