I like that you write a lot Bonnie!
so today I didn't feel that well, I couldn't go to my swimming class, and did't feel like doing this at all. But I force myself to do it anyway
today was: 20/25/20/20/28 I did that exactly, couldn't do more than that at all. and I had to stop for longer than 120 sec so I could do then next set.
I'm hoping day 3 I feel better and get more done!
hope you all are rocking this out!!

brunagota: I'm glad you like it that I write alot ... you should hear me talk!
Sorry you aren't feeling well. Get well soon!
Janey, how are you doing?
Anyone else with us?
brunagota, I hear you. When it's push-up day, I have to push myself to do it. When it's over, I feel so good. Today, I kept trying to get ready. Finally did it at quarter of 11 … at night.
At least I did it on th right day!
You know those guys with the big, bulging muscle arms? The ones who hold their arms out from their body?
When I'm done with my pushups, I feel like one of them!
My arms feel longer, and sooo strong (even if I just barely made my goal).
And they don't want to be close to my body ... just like the muscle guys!
I did measurements on Sunday morning. In 16 days, I went down 7 inches (I measure everything measurable!) The biggest loss (this time) was 1.25 inches in my arms. The wings are shrinking, and I am actually seeing some definition, for the first time, ever! It is exciting!

Initial Exhaustion test: 6 standard pushups
Week 1: Exceeded the max each day! (by 2, 2, 3) Level 2
Week 2: Struggled. Did twice, missed a few days. Exceeded max by 3, 4, 5 modified, 1 standard. Level 2.
Week 2 end: Exhaustion test: 20.
Week 3: Dropped down to Level 1 after trying Wk 2, Day 1, Level 3. Under by 4, over by 3, 5.
This week:
Week 4, Day 1, Level 1 - 8/6 - Completed as prescribed, but Max of 20! (16 required, over by 4)
Week 4, Day 2, Level 1 - 8/8 - Completed as prescribed, but Max of 20! (18 required, over by 2)
Can't seem to get past that 20!
There's always Friday!
And, <gulp!>, another exhaustion test on Saturday.
See you soon!0
