August 28, 2010, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Happy Saturday to you!

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.

Morning yoga, two hours climbing, a handful of pull-ups afterwards (Best Pull-up Bar Evar).

Later, I hope to do some more stretching, and possibly soak my hands in something; one of the problems I was working on today was really pushing the limits of my finger strength.

A nice long contemplative walk. No power-walking today, just concentrating on moving, breathing, and listening. A good day.

30 minutes of pilates/yoga blend. I remember when I thought this was a major workout, but now I don't even break a sweat. I guess it's time to move something new into my Saturday slot.

Dude. You are progressing SO FAST. It's awesome to watch!

Yay! Thank you.

Did a little yoga. One arm is out of bandages now! Just the other to go, but that might be quite a while...

[shanaqui]

I've had that with some of the yoga routines I thought were hard at one point. It's a nice feeling. Yay for you!

[shanaqui]

That sounds really nice!

Thanks. :D

[shanaqui]

Good work!

Thank you! My brain is usually going like a squirrel on caffeine, so it was a good experience to make myself slow down a bit.

I remember when I thought this was a major workout, but now I don't even break a sweat.

What a great feeling! Good on you!

[just_ann_now]

Progress! Glad to hear things are coming right along.

[shanaqui]

Heh, it sounds good put like I did in the first comment, but I'm actually not very hopeful about my chances of being out of bandages entirely for the next month... at least.

Thanks!

Walked all over everywhere. Owww.

Late report, but I fit in a yoga practice last night. Backbends felt really good after a day of driving!
