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.

Yoga Thursdays are back! Today I did the Power Yoga with Rodney Yee. "Ow!" but also, "Ahhh." It's only the third or fourth time I've done it, and I already feel improved in some of the ridiculously complicated trickier poses.

YAY! Isn't it just great when you can tell you've improved?

Its a wonderful feeling. Take the 108 pushups, for example - I still sweat and work my way through them, but when I think on how I felt when I first started them - wow, what a difference! That's true progress.

Today is a rest day, a much needed one because I'm going to London tomorrow and I'm going to spend the next four days walking a heck of a lot more than normal.

OMG hot hot hot! It was already 85 F out there at 8:30 in the morning, and not a cloud in the sky. But I did my two miles around the house, anyway, then crunches and stretches.

Morning yoga, climbing, bunch of push-ups (I'm determined to get more consistent with them).

Did some yoga -- more than the past few days. Forward bends. Arm's still bandaged, though.

Walked for about 45 minutes - not very fast, since the walking group including my 70ish dad. But I'm glad I fit in at least *some* kind of exercise while visiting relatives!
