I started a new job a few weeks ago, and have just been busy
with getting accustomed to working again...I was laid off for almost a
year! It is definitely hard getting back
into a normal routine. I’ve been going
to bed earlier, sleeping longer, but am more tired than I used to be! I will admit I started slacking a
little. I in no way stopped working out
completely, but I’ve been doing just enough to get by, and I am sad to say I am
not where I was over a summer, and especially where I was a year ago
today. That doesn’t mean I’m giving
up. Getting into this new daily routine
and getting back to the normalcy of 9-5 days just means I have to push myself
even harder. Especially because I have a
wedding in less than a month, and a cruise vacation 2!!
So, since I’ve written last, I completed my 100 Day Burpee
Challenge! And I can’t tell you how
excited I am, haha. Honestly, by the end
I was getting so bored of burpees. I
mean, I spent a third of my year doing burpees! The easiest way to do 90 burpees a day was
to make them my workout, with some other cardio and strength training moves,
and it got boring fast.
First, I do have to thank some people. I’ll give a shout out to the trainers at Core
Fitness (check them out online http://www.core-fit.com/
or Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/CoreFitness.Smarter
Living/) Cindy, Gina and Lauren.
They are an amazing group of trainers, and definitely helped me getting
my burpees in, and especially Cindy who did a 100 Burpee Workout on my last
day. I do also have to thank (and
apologize to) all the other Core-Fitters who got stuck doing my burpees with
me! Core Fitness is definitely a great
group of people to work with, if you’re in the Philadelphia area, I highly
suggest checking them out.
I will say though, sticking with it and finishing it made me
feel AMAZING at the end. If you’re
looking for something to challenge you, something to motivate you, something to
discipline you, I highly suggest doing the challenge. Now that I’m done, everyone kept asking me
what I was going to do, to which I would reply, “the 100 day NO burpee
challenge.” I am actually happy to say I
failed at that after about 15 days haha.
If you’re someone who likes to be pushed, and doesn’t mind doing burpees
for 2/3 of your year, someone mentioned to me that I should start counting back
down after I reach day 100….yea, I don’t think so.
All in all, it was an experience, to say the least, once
that I don’t think I will ever do again.
That doesn’t mean I’m not open to other challenges though, let’s see
what I can come up with next.
