The world could show nothing to me
New tumblr collection today: Tuesday, July 17: The Color Yellow
I took
curieuse's recommendation and popped three Sudafeds this morning. I'm feeling less headachey already, and maybe a little more alert. I've gotten out of the habit of taking regular OTC stuff for daily living stuff. So thank you for the reminder, sweetie!
A couple times I've mentioned I'm doing the 100 Push-Up Challenge. Now, I'm not even trying for 100 consecutive push-ups (good god no), but am putting my own spin on it which is: For whatever is my current maximum number of consecutive, good form push-ups, I do that many sets of whatever will bring me to the closest number for the required push-ups for that week. I know this formula makes sense to nobody but me, so here's an example:
The week that I started, I could do ten push-ups in a row. Since it was the first week, seven was the max for that week, so ten was all that was required. I did one set of ten push-ups every day. The next week, in order to make a minimum of fourteen push-ups, I did two sets of ten (spaced well apart in the day). And so on. This week ends with a required 29 push-ups, so that would be three sets of ten, spaced throughout the day. However, I can do twelve push-ups in a row now (progress!) so I do three sets of twelve. If I can finish this challenge with the ability to do twenty push-ups in a row, that'll be so incredibly cool. Also, it'll mean I'll only have to do five sets of twenty that last week. =D
Five years ago, I couldn't do a single military style push-up in good form. This morning, I did twelve in a row. ROCK STAR.
Tonight
msmitti is coming over to practice dance. Gotta get our game on for KCRF. It's coming up fast.
Sherlock fans: Would you like your heart ripped-out and stomped on? By all means, watch this fanvid, then. JFC TRAUMA.
THANKS,
pennswoods. THANKS A LOT.

Although I guess I did, too, so I'm no better. MISERY LOVES COMPANY, THO.

Superla-a-good!
It's a effective way to improve overall work capacity. I'v been experimenting with this for a while now.

Five days ago, I discovered I can do diamond pushups, so that's what I've been doing ever since, including in my CrossFit WODs. I managed 45 of them on the second day after learning I could do them. Woohoo!
I still can't do more than 4 in a row, though. They're HARD.

It's not a tee shirt (alas), but I like the tag line "tragically delicious."
Yeah, diamond push-ups are killer. I can only do those from my knees. I think. Hmm....
NOPE I CAN DO THREE OF THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS. HELL YEAH.

I think you might be able to pick most of it up by the aorta, although there does appear to be some vena cava stuck under my recliner.
P.s. I may or may not have watched season 1 of Sherlock 2 or 3 times while I was sick at home this last week. *shifty eyes*
