Pushups Push Me in a Good Way

Reflecting on habit #16 in my 30-day journey

Pushups are a solid part of my morning routine. I drop and do at least ten before sitting down for a day of writing.

One month ago it took everything in me to get to 8 pushups. Now I can do 15. I’m still stuck on knee pushups but I’ll transition to real ones soon.

I started this 30-day journey doing no exercise beyond walking several days a week. Now I’m walking daily, doing squats, pushups, planks, taking the stairs, and doing dumbbell lifts. I’m pleased with myself.

And I got a great story out of it too. Read about what happens when a marine shows up for the first grade 100th day of school celebration.

Push ups are a keeper. 12 out of 16 so far.
