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.

Nice long long lonnngggg yoga workout. Bliss.

Pilates warm up after breakfast. Have errands over lunch, so crossing fingers on some yoga-time tonight.

Morning yoga, two hours climbing. I worked on a lot of overhanging or roof stuff with incut holds, and my fingers are burning.

[muck_a_luck]

Good times!

Hey, I lose skin, but I get to feel and look incredibly badass while doing so. Works for me. *g*

Anyway. That which does not kill my finger tendons can only make them stronger. [/Schwarzenegger]

Did yoga, pushups, and walked about fifty minutes total.

blah. just not feeling the exercise lately. turned off the workout DVD after 8 minutes and walked 7 minutes out in the yard.

You've been going strong and working hard! I wonder if you need to give yourself a mini-vacation? Sometimes a day or two off for real lets you come back refreshed and more inspired. And 30DS is awesome, but it is NOT fun, and don't let loyalty to it drain your enthusiasm!

[green]

I am thinking of turning 30DS back into Netflix and exchanging it for some power yoga with Rodney Yee.

[muck_a_luck]

Very excellent plan! You won't regret it! :D

[rydra_wong]

What she said. Take a day off and/or switch to something that seems more appealing. The blah, "not feeling it" thing -- that can be a sign of overtraining, and you've really been pushing yourself.

Did my daily run, but while I keep wanting to do more I feel like work has been leaving me too sleep-deprived and physically weary to be up for it. :( I'm still keeping up with my running goal (which is at least five runs a week, pref. six) but I think I need to wait til the rest of my life calms down before focusing on any other exercise goals.

Got a nice walk in the beautiful weather :)

[mixofsun]

A bit of yoga, and a 40 minute walk.

[raletha]

I should mention I have found myself at my parents' home in TX. It was too darn hot to do anything outside, so no walk. Did extra free weights 'til my arms were noodly.

[semielliptical]

Forgot to comment earlier - walk, about 30 min.
