I waited a few extra days to be able to fall back into my exercise schedule, even though I didn't do my 3 mile walk today.  I'm not sure it was a wise idea though.  Day one for week two starts with two sets of 14, followed by two sets of 10, finishing with at least 15.  The sets went something like this:

"Ok, that wasn't so bad."

"A little bid harder that time."

"Oh my gosh, only 10 and I barely made it."

"Last set!  Wow, I can't believe that was as hard as last week."

It's a few days since I then and I haven't made it to days 2 or 3.  Looks like I'm restarting week 2 on Tuesday.

Stay tuned fearless reader.

They changed the first week's sets, and I used the changes for days 2 and 3.

The hardest thing I'm finding is sticking to the schedule. I had to restart twice because I missed sever days in a row. I didn't feel like I could continue in the middle of the week. I decided that was bunk and finished the first week anyway.

I'm going to tackle week 2 when I can get it in line with my walking schedule.

I attempted my first round of push ups and couldn't get the form right, let alone a push up. I don't know if it was because it was too late in the night, or my arms are still sore from the first day. All I know is that I couldn't even start day two.
I'm going to try day two again tomorrow, maybe I'll have better luck.
