I think I am mostly posting this for myself but I am okay with that. For those of us doing strength/circuit training I'd love it if you continued to post your progress. 
As most of you know, I suffered horribly last week with shingles therefore was unable to do the rep challenge. I am posting last week's challenge again as this is what I will be focusing on along with walking Jesse after work.
Beginners
Eat 3 servings of fruit or veggie each day (morning, mid-day, evening)
Try 2 of the exercises in the Intermediate Challenge
Trade 2 soda/tea/coffee for 32oz of water each day
Walk for at least 20 mins a day - this should be at a steady pace, get that heart rate up!
Intermediate - 175 Rep Challenge this week/25 reps each (check off as you go)
Seated Dumbbell Butterfly Press
Seated Dumbbell Military Press
Jumping Jacks
Mountain Climbers
Lunges (Alternate Left/Right)
Sit Ups
Burpees
Try to complete one session or break up throughout week
Advance - 500 Rep Challenge this week/50 reps each (check off as you go)
Seated Dumbbell Butterfly Press
Seated Dumbbell Military Press
Tricep Kick Back
Jumping Jacks
Squats
Lunges (Alternate Left/Right)
Sit Ups
Push Ups
Flutter Kicks (count of 4 = 1 set)
Burpees
Try to complete one session or break up throughout week

Started off yesterday's rep challenge slow at the request of the hubby so I maxed out on sit ups (50) after walking Jesse. I plan on working on legs today since he does not want me to irritate my right under arm.0

50 push ups, various ways

Great job girlie and lol @ the hubby comment. He went with me on my walk this evening and encouraged me to walk/jog. He ran sprints as I jogged behind him for the same distance. He said I jogged about a third of the 2 miles we walked. I think that is okay considering I have never jogged/ran before.I did some reps today
