chaos, yet harmony

[Niika]

hello there

i am niika. i am working on a doctorate, transitioning from an adjunct to a full-time professor, healing a new piercing, and trying to wrest back my love of rock climbing from my depression.

i am in need of gentleness, so i am starting with the vitality program.

day 1: i didn't notice until i was finished that i was supposed to do 20 swings on each side. i am still pleased that i did it at all.

Hello and welcome!

 

[Niika]

thank you all for the welcome.

day 2: completed on level 3. the time between sets was perfect for making a cup of tea.

 

[Froud]

Welcome!

day 3: completed on level 1 to save some energy for rock climbing.

i am at the gym for the first time in about 2 months. some of that is work-related, but some is that my climbing partner is moving and going alone isn't very appealing. if i manage to come more regularly, i will use the buddy-board to find someone new to go with.

day 4: completed on level 3. I enjoyed this one.

day 5: completed on level 1. the arm scissors made my collarbone click in a way i didn't like. i'll keep an eye out for that persisting.

day 6: completed on level 3. i haven't done much ballet training, but i have just enough to default to first position for calf raises.

day 7: completed (yesterday) on level 1. the leg swings seemed slightly easier than on day 1. i completed the full set without too much strain.

day 8: completed on level 1. does anyone else make a weird scrunchy face during reverse arm circles?

day 9: completed on level 3.

day 10: completed on level 2. last time i did side jacks, i was sore the next day. let's see how these go.

 

[Niika]

day 11: completed on level 2. not sore from yesterday.

day 12: completed on level 3. going rock climbing with my dad, sister, and friend!

day 13: completed on level 1

had to step away for a bit because of a family vacation and some of the titular chaos. back in action now, though.

day 16: completed on level 3. I kept losing track of which leg i balanced on first, so i did a few extras.
