So, with the insanity that is our daily life and the activities occurring due to the holiday season (and just my general laziness…) I have not been keeping on track with my push ups, dips, and crunches (or my regular gym schedule). In looking at my calendar and activities from November 21 until December 4 I see that I had nine days (November 21, 22, 25, 26 and 29 and December 1, 2, 3 and 4) where I did no extra activities of any sort. (Some of the days I did very little activity the entire day!) I did have a few decent days – 11/23 Bam and I did a mile practice for a turkey day 5K and then I did an additional 45 minutes on the elliptical; 11/24 I did a 5K Turkey Trek, 2 additional miles of walking, and 2 hours of rollerblading (as well as prepping Thanksgiving Dinner for 6 with some assistance); 11/27 I did a 1.75 mile walk and 30 minutes on the elliptical; and 11/28 and 11/30 I did 1 mile on the treadmill before doing BodyFlow. But no push ups, dips, or crunches to be seen! L Given my lack of follow-through with these activities, I’ve decided to redo my exhaustion tests to see where I need to pick up in the challenge for each area. I’m hoping I’ll still be able to complete either Week 5 or Week 6 for each activity, but we’ll have to see how the tests go!
I made it to the gym tonight where I did 3 miles on the treadmill. Then came the push ups, dips, and crunches! Here is how my exhaustion tests went:
| | # | Next Week |
| Crunches | 93 | Week 6, Column 2 |
| Dips | 60 | Week 6, Column 1 |
| Push ups | 34 | Week 5, Column 1 |
I’ve really lost it on the dips and push ups while I’ve managed to hold my own with crunches. I’m hoping to stay on track this time…we’ll see how I do!
