Buck Furpees

You may recall that I had started the 100 Days of Burpees Challenge.  I was going strong until the Warrior Dash but I have to admit... I fell off of the wagon.  This morning I was on Facebook and saw that a friend of mine, (fellow Warrior) had missed only 2 days of the challenge.  Not only did she miss them, she was making up for them and still going strong 36 days in.  How inspiring is that?   Well, apparently pretty darn inspiring since I am jumping back in.  This is going to be hell!  I am going to take my day off at the gym and catch back up.

To catch up, I have to do the number for each day that I missed.  My last set was on May 19th.  Let's do the math together shall we...
May 20+22+23+24+25+26+27+27+29+30+31+(June 1st)32+34+35+36= 455

Kelly has suggested that I do 40 per hour all day.  I suggest that she go suck an egg.  I think I am going to take my time and do as many as I can.  I will finish the leftovers tomorrow along with the 37 due. Wish me luck!

Keep it up, Jessica!

100 Days of Burpees Challenge 
-stolen by someone else obviously-

The Rules:
Do one burpee on Day One. Do two burpees on Day Two. Continue adding one more burpee each day. By the end you will have done 5050 burpees (that's a lot!).
If you miss a day, you can make up that day's burpee count the following day. If you miss two days in a row, consider your challenge to be over, take a couple days off and start again at Day One. You can do it!
Follow the rules and most importantly:
Don't Miss Any Days
I missed Day 7 which meant on Day 8 I had to do a total of 15. That wasn't too bad, but I told myself I'd never make that mistake again. Then a couple days later, life got a little hectic and I missed another day. That meant once again, I had to make up for the previous day before doing the current day. The goal is to add one burpee a day, every day. Missing a day throws off everything. Imagine missing Day 90. This challenge will build strength and discipline.
One Day at a Time
Life moves fast, especially in Manhattan, where I live. But not everything happens in a New York minute. The 100-Day Burpee Challenge is slow and steady all the way. The only way to do it, is one day at a time.
Are you in?
The 100-Day Burpee Challenge is not for babies; there are no days off. As far as I know, crying is not allowed. But if doing 75 burpees one day, followed by 76 the next day, followed by 77 the next day sounds like fun to you, I hope you'll join me on this adventure.
