Hopefully No More Lessons To Be Learned

11:50 PM


Well there's probably going to be more lessons that I learn in life, but I feel like I have practically experienced it all already. I feel like I have enough knowledge and experience, not just from my own experiences and life, but from other people's as well. I shouldn't be continually making any more mistakes. I know better.


A few days ago I skipped several days of doing any habits again, but now I am on track again.


I felt like those days were wasted, but I can't do anything about that now. The only thing I can do is keep moving forward.


Today I set a new "recent" personal best for pull-ups and chin-ups. My lifetime personal best for chin-ups and pull-ups was 12 in a row of both, which I accomplished last year. This year, my new personal best is 7 in a row for both, which I just did a few minutes ago. I mean yeah it's not really a "personal best" but it is a recent personal best.


I also casually did over a minute of planking today. I wasn't even paying attention to the time, and my daily is to only do a minute a day, so when I checked the time and was at 1 minute and 14 seconds, I stopped planking, even though I barely felt it and could have definitely gone on for longer. This is the same for the wall sit, I casually did 3 minutes because I was on my phone browsing, not even noticing that I was doing it for 3 minutes.


Another improvement I noticed is my dead hang time. I have tied my personal best of 31 seconds tonight, and I did it pretty casually. I mean it was still very difficult, but I was able to perform it much more easily than before.


I did attempt to do another 31 push-ups today, and I was able to do it, but I first had to do 21 push-ups and then 10 push-ups after. My recent personal best for push-ups is 31, which I set a few weeks ago (my lifetime best is 45 in a row), when I did those push-ups, I did them quickly. In contrast, I did these 21 push-ups in a row slowly, same with the next 10 that I did.


So maybe I am improving in all areas? It seems that way but I'm not sure. It's really slow progress.


For the deep squat hold, it's the one that I want to improve the most, I find that my feet start to hurt tremendously around 9 minutes in. It's weird to me that I was able to hold this for 19 minutes before, when it is so hard to do that again now. My feet and ankles just start to hurt tremendously. Right now I am actually holding a deep squat position, and I have been for over 5 minutes now.


Anyway, I do like where things are now. I am continually improving and just doing my best.


Oh yeah, about the lessons I learned. I hope to never make those mistakes again. They really set back my life tremendously. Let's go. Let's keep going. I want to keep these streaks up for as long as possible.


I wasn't able to practice any singing today, but that was my fault. I'm not really sure what happened. There was definitely enough time in the day. I think I just ended up skipping it for no good reason, which is shameful. I may have to make up for it by practicing my singing twice tomorrow. The only thing is that it takes 40 minutes to practice. Each session I sing scales into my pillow, and it takes around 40 minutes of this.


Anyway, I guess that's all I have to say for right now.
