Ill bump it up to 15 today, just don't want my boss to think he is paying for me to work out...(in his mind it is a "work out"). Gotta keep it below his radar. I do feel like it helps though, even if it is a placebo effect, because it gets me worked up and feeling like im doing something.

By the end of the day I am tired from them, but thats also probably because i am working out everyday so my body is sore already.

If you all don't think it is going to hurt in any way, I will bump it up to 15 today and continue my bathroom pushups.

as a side note, im not ready to decrease my gym visits per week yet, although i know I will need to soon; partially because its helping me off the nicotine, and also because I want my body to be fully adapted to getting to bed early and waking early. If I woke up as early and didn't go to the gym, I would fall asleep parousing bb.net at 4:30 in the morning, haha.

thank you all for your replies!
