Daily Happiness
1. A while ago I tried to do the 100 pushups thing, but found that because it was every other day, not every day, I had trouble remembering to do it. So I gave up and then later thought maybe I'd try to do a similar thing but daily, and I ended up dropping that, too, because it's just a pain to have to get down on the ground and do pushups. I can't do them on my toes anymore, because I get a painful twinge in my foot when I do. But we have hardwood floors, so in order to do them on my knees, I have to get a pillow or something and it's just...a pain. I can't be bothered.

But then Bruce suggested wall pushups (or push-offs, I guess), so I started doing those. I don't think it's quite as much of a workout as pushing up from the floor, but I can definitely still feel it.

It's much easier to do, though, because I can pretty much do a set every time I get up from my desk to get a glass of water or go to the bathroom or whatever. I'm much more likely to do that than to get down on the floor for pushups.

So I have been doing 30-40 per set, trying for at least a hundred a day, for the last week or so. Now I'm up to 30-50 per set. I think I did 80 or 90 already today, so I'll probably do another couple reps.

2. I made chocolate chip cookies with dark chocolate M&Ms last night. I really wanted to make them with peanut butter M&Ms, but the store didn't have them. Boo. We're going to a BBQ later today with Alexander, so that's what the cookies are for. They turned out really good.
