August 8, 2010, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Sorry, a little late today!

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.

Just back from a 45-minute walk. This morning I focused on power-walking, rather than my usual meditative and bird-watching amble, so it felt nice and invigorating.

Exercise goals for the week were all met \o/ The next two weeks my work schedule will be all over map, including several extra-long days. I know for sure I won't have an opportunity for my regular Thursday a.m. long yoga session this week, but I'm hoping to be creative (and energetic, after work)to still fit some in somewhere.

Yay for meeting your goals! \o/

Well done you!

Did yoga this morning, and just did my week two exhaustion test for pushups. Did twenty in a row -- exhausted now, but pleased. That's fifteen more than in my initial test.

Rock on! That's seriously impressive.

Morning yoga, then two hours climbing -- I was having a good day, and got lots done!

[shanaqui]

Yay for days like that!

Power yoga, 45 minutes. Contemplated inversions.

[rydra_wong]

Yay inversions! Which ones are you contemplating?

[seleneheart]

I would like to work up to a shoulder stand, but I should probably start with halasana.

I wasn't feeling it today, seems to be a bit of a pattern for me on sundays. I think it's because I always have fun things planned for sundays and indulge myself online for a while first thing rather than exercising as soon as I get up. I'll experiment next sunday, see if cutting out the distractions helps me focus on exercising. I just did 10 mins yoga and 10 minutes on my bike to loosen up.

I did a gentle yoga practice.
