I've now done 89 pushups over 6 sets (approximately 5 minutes). The program I'm using is trying to get me to 50 consecutive pushups. I started out at appoximately 25 and I've been doing 20+ on that last set, so I should be, well, at least closer.
I actually pushed another, probably better, post out of the way to make room for this one, so check back later for a post that involves an XKCD comic as well as a glimpse into the mind of Bryan.

220!
220. That's how many push-ups I'm doing per day, three days per week, with another 24 per day, three days per week in my "Death Crawl."
Progress on other goals:
- editing book: I got one paragraph edited! It doesn't seem like much, but rewrote the opening about 5 different ways and finally landed upon something I don't absolutely hate. Just another 45 years of this type of progress and I can submit it for editing!
- reading: done none of this
- Codecadamy: done none of this

Updates
I haven't posted in so long that my RSS feed at work doesn't have any posts from me in it, so it must be time for an update:
- My 100 pushup challenge failed miserably. More miserably than last time. This time it took a whole week to fail. Not like last time where I followed it for like a month. This time around the fail was dedicated. It was determined.
- On the positive, I started doing 200 pushups per day, and segued into doing a push-up based workout routine from the Bible that is essentially a push up and a burpee done back to back. Envy the muscle; envy the muscle.
- I owe a shout out to my sister on two accounts: first, for copy editing the book I wrote for my kids and wife. Thank you. Also, for giving me motivation to start reediting my book. I haven't actually started yet, but I'm envisioning starting. I'm thinking really long and hard about it, so that is something. I think I'm going about it a different way this time: editing online rather than in hard copy form. Printed words are for suckers and the old, right?
- I have nearly constant money worries, even though I'm/we're OK. I've always worried more about money than was probably healthy, but now its taken on a whole new variety of torture: Instead of just worrying about money, I now worry that I'll lose my job, never find another, and my kids won't respect me. Nice.
I think that is it for now. Another new post coming soon.
