Friday, September 24, 2010, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

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.

Resting day (which actually means, "Short on time in the morning day") so just a quick bit of wake-up yoga.

Just did yoga, today. I'll be hauling a load of boxes around today and tomorrow, so no pushups, and my running stuff is all packed, so no running. Booo.

(After this weekend, I'm done moving. Yaaay.)

Morning yoga, REST DAY.

I might try to get in some restorative yoga later. Or a fingerboard session if a bit of my energy returns. Otherwise, time for lying in a heap watching TV on my computer.

w3d3 of c25k. the first 3 minute interval was TOUGH but I got through it, and then it was practically easy to do the rest.

day 2 level 2 of 30 Day Shred. relatively easy. I need to push a little harder on it if I'm going to get results, so tomorrow I'm going to do some of the harder moves.

I have ST (lower body) scheduled for today, too. gonna do it this afternoon.

3 Pilates exercise podcasts. \o/

Three hours of hauling brush and tree limbs, separating the brush piles to make it easier for the chippers to chip them. Not really exercise, but it was hard work!

Then I did 2 sets of 10 pushups from the counter.

30 minutes today. And -- no break. I'd been stopping for 2 minutes every 15 minute mini-session to drink and readjust position; today the timer went and I didn't need it, so I cruised through the whole thing nonstop.

ETA: After a half hour, I felt like I hadn't really pushed enough, so got back on the bike, shifted to the next gear, and put in another fifteen minutes, just to the point of shakiness.

30 minute walk...don't mock! I am still trying to get used to altitude - my front door is at 6900 ft above sea level!

[kuangning]

Hey, there's nothing to mock in that. We've all gotta start where we are, not where we wish we were, or reality kicks us in the butt that much harder. :)

Half an hour of lawn mowing (it's not a small yard, so it's keeping me busy), 20 minute walk.
