August 30, 2010, Check-In

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.

Meditation, elliptical machine, stretches!

25 minutes of yoga and 25 minutes of walking/jogging.

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I spent today stuck indoors with nothing to do except laundry.

So, I decided on a repeat of last month's Skience Experiment. And holy crap, the month (and the skience) has made a difference: this time, I did the push-ups in sets of 8 (and a final 4 to make up the numbers), and didn't start struggling until the penultimate set. My push-ups are actually progressing!!!

And I had spare energy to do back hyperextensions and an attempt at glute-hamstring raises (ow motherfucking ow) and TGUs (I'm now relatively comfortable with 10kg). And another Yoga Today class -- I got lucky and stumbled on one that contained many of my favourite asanas.

So I'm now feeling pleasantly wrung out.

That sounds like an AWESOME day!

It's amazing what you can get done if you're barricaded in a small space with nothing else to do *g*.

About 40 minutes of yoga, I am now a little bit sweaty and also less anxious. A good ending for the day!

Did a bit of yoga. Bandages are being changed again tomorrow, so hoooopefully I'll get to run.
