    Okay, so I did my first exhaustion test today after starting the program....I was pleasantly surprised to do 40, yes 40 sit-ups! That is a far cry from the 12 I did to start in the beginning! If I wasn't encouraged, I sure am now!!!! PTL for keeping me motivated!!!!

    This is evidence that program really works. Great job on your progress. That's more than double what you did during the beginning!

    Did my exhaustion test after week 4. Made sure to wait 24 hours after my last ab workout, and begin my test with unstressed abs. I was surprised that I managed to push out 130 (but wow were those last 5 tough!). This is a bigger improvement than I expected from my initial exhaustion test! Still unsure if I'll be able to hit 200 in two weeks (that's an awfully big jump!), but I know the last test allows you to do them in sets anyway.

    Feeling very strong today. Considering I have a big day at work ahead of me, this is a good feeling to have.

    Well, looks like I'm not the only one who dropped this challenge.... :ohwell:

    It's been so long since I did any of it, I think I'm just going to start all over, other than the first test since I would imagine I'm still in the same column. It hasn't been THAT long after all! :laugh:

    Week 1, Day 1 tomorrow!
