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.

Still trying to do something every day, although mostly it's been of the "up and down the stairs 20 times" or sneaking out for a walk. Food intake way outweighing (pun intended) calorie output. Long walk yesterday, shorter walk today.

Went to a 1-hr dance class (the difficult one). It's getting easier, gradually.

Yoga with my yoga buddy for the last time *sniff* as she goes back home tomorrow.

Walked 6 km through (you guessed it) more snow (pretty snow!), though some time in the night the sidewalks had been cleared and there had been only 5-10 centimetres of new snow since then, so walking was easy.

Did a full round at the gym, warm-up, strength training, stretching and running, for 90 min total. Six push-ups on the low bench, and 1.57 km in 10 minutes.

Also, helped a neighbor push his car out of a snowdrift.

Walk, about 30 minutes, and then some stretching.

The new/difficult dance class is getting easier. The dehydration situation is better now, too.
