Yesterday was not a good day, mostly for work-related reasons, and I don't think I want to talk about it. Today I am falling back on my Norman Vincent Peale to try and get through the day and make things better. Today my mantra is, "I am going to win."

On that note, yesterday I only did 29th floor to 45th floor on the stairs. In my defense that's because I had just done 23 + 28 + 23 + 23 + 35 pushups (when they are separated by two minute rest periods I really can't count them as consecutive, just cumulative) and was already a) tired b) not looking forward to the lines at the Port Authority if I did the whole building, since I'd worked later than usual. Anyway, I'll do my full building on Wednesday. Debating when to do my next exhaustion test.

... look, I may not be able to fix what's happened at work, but I can at least fix my own physical weaknesses, you know?

You are amazing. I say this as someone whose desire for physical fitness is sort of like her desire to marry Eddie Izzard, an amusing and occasional dream.

For me, the desire for fitness is partly 'I want to be stronger/I want to have more endurance' and partly 'I love the horrified look on people's faces when they find out what I do/can do'. It is not a good motive, but it is a powerful one, and if nothing else I can turn it to good use for things like Climb To The Top.

I hope today is much better than yesterday or any day prior.

Thank you, hon.

It does look as if things are getting better, thankfully.

Yesterday wound up being a bit better than Monday. I think I'm going to be okay.

Also, yesterday I decided to try for my week 4 exhaustion test with the push-ups. If I am allowed to count push-ups where I pause for the length of one inhale and one exhale on the downbeat, then I did sixty consecutive pushups yesterday.
