Sunday, October 10, 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.

Yoga, situps, cleaning!

(It is now twenty-eight hours since I slept. I'm starting to go loopy. Hi!)

[just_ann_now]

Omg, why?

[shanaqui]

Twenty-four hour readathon!

[just_ann_now]

HAHAHAHAHA AWESOME!

[shanaqui]

I am so exhausted. And read 7.666666 books, so am also intensely pleased. My housemates are keeping me awake until a sensible bedtime via caffeine and junk food.

40 Days of Yoga - Day 10

Total Fitness with Ravi Singh and Ana Brett. This Kundalini-style workout is such a nice change from the Hatha and Vinyasa practices I do most days. It's strenuous, particularly for the abs and shoulders, but there's lots of really useful breath work, stretching and meditation. I like having the spiritual aspects brought in,too, so I can see how what I'm doing physically is affecting me mentally and emotionally as well. Good stuff. (I'm not liking Ravi any better, but I'm tolerating him more readily.That's progress too.)

30 Day Shred - Day 10 (though not all in a row). I finished Work Out 2 for the second day, though, so I'm pleased.

I plan to run later tonight.

Morning yoga, then a couple of hours climbing on actual rock! Not particularly strenuous, since it was my first time outdoors.

3 mile brisk walk. NOT VOLUNTARILY, IT WAS JUST THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET HOME FROM WORK. WHY AM I CAPSLOCKING.

[semielliptical]

Reinjured my foot, so no exercise today.

Apologies for the sporadic check ins! I did free weights, push-ups, a walk, and a bit of yoga -- mostly standing poses & forward bends to stretch out shoulders/back/torso. Triangle pose felt good.

Life is super crazy right now (sudden, serious family illness) so my check-ins will likely be irregular, but I am doing my very best to get some exercise in every day. It helps keep me sane.
