    I am going to have to take a week off since I did something to my back and it hurts to move. :ohwell: I think I was just picking up my 3 year old too much this weekend (he didn't feel good), and he weighs 34 lbs.

    I posted a question in the January thread by accident.

    Here goes....
    When do we take the exhaustion test? Is it the same day, next day, skip a day?

    It says to perform the exhaustion test 24-48 hours after you finish that week.
    I didn't know there was an exhaustion test until last week when I was getting all of the numbers for the week and actually read through more of the challenge:laugh:

    Hello,
    I was suppose to start week 5 today but I since I didn't test over the weekend then I decided to test today. I will start week 5 tomorrow or may just go to day two of week 5 on Wednesday.
    I was a little disappointed with my test. I thought I could do more by now. Not that it was bad. I was just expecting more. I did 120. I probably could have kept going but I was getting a pain under my right rib. I guess I did okay. I was expecting more like 150. I don't know why. I just was. lol
    Lyla, I hope your back gets better soon! That's why I didn't test over the weekend. My back hurt too and I also think it may have been from carrying my 3 year old around. We need to stop doing that! :wink:
    Trlatampa, I usually test on a Saturday or Sunday after having a m-w-f schedule. So maybe late the next day or early the second morning? After your third day of the week.
    See you all again soon!

    33
    42
    30
    30
    50(at least 45)

    I don't know if it's because I had just gotten back from my run (where I pushed super hard) or because I pigged out at the Super Bowl Party....but this set was soooo much harder than 2 days ago! But I did it!

    I have not done well with this one. I think I have to write down all the numbers and post them on my fridge. I am going to start over with Day One, Week One, Level 3
    I really want to do this, I just don't have time to maneuver through all of the websites so I am only tracking my progress here on this thread and NOT on the challenge website thread.
    I will post my info for what I do this evening.

    I'm not tracking on the official sites either. I do this one and since I thought this and the pushups were good things I started them on Cruise Critics lose to cruise board.

    I use a sticky note and write out how many for each day. I do all three days on one sticky. It's much easier than having to turn on the computer, go to both sites.


    Today was week 5, day 1, level 3
    54
    60
    45
    36
    at least 60. I only did 60. How am I going to pay attention to count to 200!?! I might have to quit listening to the radio.

    I don't think I rested enough after my jog. I don't even want to think about the next set.

    I'm still around but I haven't done my sit ups this week. I haven't been up to working that area. lol Uh, female issues.
    I will be repeating week five next week.
    Every one is doing great!
    Keiko, way to go on doing day 2!
    Wannabf, congrats on your weight loss!
    I'll try to test again this weekend and see where I am and then I'll get back to a schedule on Monday.

    Keiko, way to go! Good job! I hear ya about not wanting to do another challenge! Ha ha.
    All of you are doing great!
    I may be repeating this week. I didn't think I would have to repeat any weeks on this challenge. Today was just hard for me. I guess it was the extra sets. I was also in a time crunch (pun intended) so I did not get to pause at the top as long as I wanted, so maybe I was cheating.
    week 5 day 2 level 3
    1&2 30
    3&4 36
    5&6 27
    7 33
    8 70
    I'll continue on to day 3 and then test over the weekend and see if I can move on. See you all on Friday!

    at least 80 and that's all I did because I forgot to try for more. Listening to the radio and Panic at the Disco came on I write sins not tragedys. I haven't heard that in forever. I don't know why I like it, catchy tune though. Anyways, I get sidetracked easily when counting situps.

    :happy: crunching!

    Hello!
    How is everyone?
    I just did week 5 level 3 day 3.
    30
    30
    36
    36
    30
    30
    40
    80(min 75)
    I could have done more but I was getting tired of laying on the floor and I felt I was pulling on my neck.
    Anyone noticing a difference in their abs yet? I can see a little bit of definition. Or maybe my fat is just shrinking. :laugh:
    I will try to test this weekend. Have a good one!

    Ooooooo!
    Fat shrinking sounds great!
    I think I can try this challenge...

    mechanicmom Posts: 5,700 Member
    I tested. 150. I really did not think I was going to make it past 50, :laugh: but somehow it got easier and then harder again. SO I'll be on week 6 on Monday. This challenge is going a lot faster than the push ups one. :ohwell:

    Welcome Georg!
    Everyone else still with me?
    Well, I will admit that I don't really like this challenge. There's nothing wrong with it. It's easy enough to do but it is kind of time consuming and I don't like laying on the floor waiting for the next set. :laugh:
    I moved on to week 6 but level 2 instead of 3. I may have been able to do level 3 but I wasn't ready to move on.
    60
    75
    38
    35
    100 (min 75)
    It hurt at first but once I got going it got easier. See you all Wednesday!
