Burpees, Day 11

As previously mentioned, I missed day 9. Following the rules, that means day 10 had to see a total of 19 burpees, which were done throughout the day -- I don't think I'm anywhere doing so many in a row, although I was able to get through nine consecutively without throwing up and/or passing out.

Heading into the teens, I can start to see why this challenge is so difficult. On paper, it doesn't look bad at all: one burpee a day, plus one more for each day. They don't even have to be done in a row! I've already noticed a change in arm definition, and there's been a noticeable change in the amount of fat sitting on top of the bicep.

It's funny. I read about the 100 day challenge and started that day, then I made a spreadsheet to track progress and keep up with the days and totals I'd done. Day 100 will actually land on my father's birthday, May 28th.

Want to celebrate the completion with me? You can still jump in! If you're starting today, though, you'll need to do a total of 66 burpees before midnight. Wondering how it breaks down? This takes us from the start date last Sunday to the end of February:

Date February
19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
Day / Burpees 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Total Burpees 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 55 66

So if you've been keeping up, you've done at least 66 so far! Great job keeping up and squeezing in these awful bastards along with everything else you have to do. You don't want to know what March looks like. But I'll post it tomorrow anyway!
