Thanks for all the support!
I finally got around to starting my repeat of week 2 today -- did Pilates class with some pups on Thursday, then helped DH pick up lots of wood yesterday so didn't need any more upper body work -- so today was finally the day.
I felt much stronger! I had my highest max ever on the fifth set -- still only 12, but each set felt much more solid, my form felt better, more in control, getting very low to the ground, etc. than last week.
So....perhaps when I finish this repeat week I'll actually "pass" the exhaustion test and make it to week 3! I'm definitely sticking with it!
