How many check-ins are you in?

susan p · 01-03-13, 07:37 PM

I know many people in my check-in (homeschooling moms) also check in on other check ins. I have tried this before and I simply CANNOT DO IT. I thought I would check in with those doing the Leslie challenge but even thinking about an extra check-in made me start feeling stressed. lol.

Are any of you non-checkers-in??

I wasn't in a check in at all for many, many years (1998 to, uh, 2005ish?), and the HSing moms check-in is the ONLY one I've ever stuck to, although I've tried several others. I just seem to have a mental block about more than one check-in.

I guess I'm just a check-in monogamist.

Obviously I am also terribly conflicted about whether or not there is a hyphen in the word check-in.

That is all. Carry on.

Zero!

I tried a few times both here and other places, but I cannot commit. Everyone was very nice and I enjoyed seeing how others were handling the topic of the check-in, but then I became stressed over one more thing to do. Most days I barely get my workouts logged in the spreadsheet I keep........

I like popping in and out of threads that interest me on days when I have time, but will probably never faithfully do a check-in.

I'm in just one... prenatal/post-partum although I am decidedly neither! But I love those girls so I just keep checking in (checking-in?) over there.

I tried two at one point, but it was just too much. I couldn't keep up.

Hehe, our check-in is like that too; not everyone there is a homeschooling mom; most were at some point, some still are, some are planning to be. So there's a loose tie-in, but mostly we're just attached to each other.

And we all care very much about education, whether currently homeschooling or not. Mostly all at least supplementing our kids' educations.

I'm not in any right now. I felt pressured to check in & decided not to for awhile. I've been in two, before, but I think that was only when one of them was either the "minutes per month" (which was REALLY terse, just the workout & number of minutes, no chat) or when one was short-term, like a yoga sadhana. I agree it's hard to keep up with multiple check-ins.

I am only in one on a regular basis - the barefoot check-in.

I do occasionally pop in to the kundalini check-in. There are others that interest me because there are so many wonderful people on this site that I would love to get to know better, but I just can't keep up with more than one check-in on a regular basis.

I'm notorious for starting and then stop posting in check-ins. I was very successful last month in the Christmas Countdown and now I'm in the Just The Workouts check-in. I plan on doing this check-in all year month by month. It's fun seeing what everyone else is doing and how diverse our tastes are.

Just one. Classical Stretch check-in.

While I do, and enjoy quite a variety of workout styles, CS is where my heart is. Somewhere in the back of my mind I always knew I had to stretch more, but I thought that yoga was the only way to go, until I've heard about the CS here on VF. I'm going to admit it right now. I AM NOT A YOGA PERSON! I just don't click with yoga, and I'm relieved now that I've admitted it to myself. But I've discovered that I love, love, love Classical Stretch and Essentrics. They are the ultimate feel-good workouts.

In one, lurk on two.
