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.

Pushups and yoga, today. The yoga was really gentle, because a) I went to a gig last night, danced a lot, and feel sore today, and b) I'm not very well. Blurgh.

Hope you feel better, soon.

Thank you!

Pull ups this morning (week 2, day 2 of current series).

Planning on vinyasa yoga after work, but that might go 'splodie based on after-school-care-fail.

No gym yesterday BUT did do about half an hour of walking around after work, followed by an extended four-minute sprint through City streets for my train. So I consider that a good overall workout for a non-gym day. :D

A 70-minute Basic workout from Barbara Benagh's Yoga for Beginners dvd. This is a comfort food workout - it's not challenging (except for Tree pose, still, argh) but it's so nice and stretchy and restful and her voice is so wonderful. I feel all pile-of-goo-ey now, which is as its should be for a relaxing day.

Later this afternoon, for a break from reading, I may do one of the bits of Shiva Rea's Daily Energy Flow. If this nice relaxation looks like it's about to descend into sleepiness.

Morning yoga, then half an hour of Instant Death, a new game I have invented (clubbells, kettlebells, any exercises I want to do without any breaks except for when I'm actually lying on the floor whimpering).

Yoga in the morning, 30 minutes.
