In addition to watching what I am eating and some exercise, I am attempting the 100-day burpee challenge. Basically, it asks for you to do one burpee on day 1, two on day two, and so on until the final day pushes 100 burpees out of you. "What the hell is a burpee," you ask?
Like any exercise, there are four hundred variations. I am doing the pushup burpee variation, which I think is about the standard right now for the challenge:
But there are, like I said, many other versions you can do if the pushup burpee is too hard:
As I said above, today is day 9. Now, If you miss any from a day, you have to make them up, and the burpees don't have to be consecutive! So far, I haven't missed any. We'll see what happens today.
As it is Monday, the start of my weight-loss week, I should report in. My weight hasn't changed from yesterday, when I was down to my lowest thus far, nor has my tummy shrunk since Saturday. This is fine, you usually aren't going to see an inch off your waistline every five hours. Unless you have, like, malaria. But that's not a very good exercise.
Current: 244.7 lbs, 42.5" tummy
Fun fact: thus far, I've done 44 burpees total over the course of the challenge (I did some extras in the earlier days), but by day 100, the total number is 5,050.
Nice! It's usually disheartening to see fit people showing 'beginner' exercises that are ridiculous for us fat folk, but this is really good.
