Victories and defeats

So I've started my final work-week for phase 2. Today's chest, shoulders, and triceps workout was a bittersweet victory. Yes, I was able to use more weight than I have in the past and I feel good about that, but I failed on almost all of the push-up exercises. Even on my knees, I was not able to match my performance last week, often times failing by two reps. I want to feel proud and accomplished, but I'm feeling disappointed. Like I should have pushed myself harder or something. Even though there was no way I could have done more, I feel like I should have MADE myself do more. Approaching the 45-day mark, I'm feeling under-accomplished.

I also didn't do the ab ripper this morning. Going to do it in the evening. I'll make it up to myself by blowing it away.

You know the tendons in your fingers? You know how, sometimes when you pick something up, they don't sit just right and there's a kind of 'pop' as they fall into place, leaving your hand stinging? That happened to me today. On the underside of my middle finger, however, is a HUGE purple bruise. I know tomorrow is just Plyo, so I don't have to worry about pull-ups or anything soon, but I hope it heals by Thursday.
