November 24th

I started off the day doing 20 minutes of aerobics and strength stations with my kids in the gym. I probably shouldn't have done the 10 pushups because I have to do my pushups challenge tonight. Week three is going to be tough.

I used Saturday to do the end of week 2 test and pushed myself to do 19. That means I am ready to start week 3 but it's going to be really tough I think because my upper back is tight and sore between my shoulder blades and I'm still stiff.

Week 3 pushups challenge looks like this:

M - 10•12•7•7•9+ (:60+ rest)
W - 10•12•8•8•12+ (1:30+ rest)
Sa- 11•13•9•9•13+ (2:00+ rest)
