Day 36

Do you need further proof that the Burpee Challenge is evil? Day 36, if you do the exact number of burpees per day, will leave you with a to-date total of 666 BURPEES.

I just got chills. Also, I was able to top my previous best and today did 16 burpees in a row. I feel good tonight. I didn't save my burpees until 11:47pm, I am sporting some new underwear (don't worry, we're a long way away from those pics), and I start a new class tomorrow at work. Tomorrow is ALSO the start of week 11 of weight loss, which means a weigh-in! I'm hoping for a good one, having downed less than 800 calories today. No, I'm not starving myself!

What I've been doing to help cut back on calories on a meal is take a can of Progresso Light soup and add a cup of frozen mixed vegetables to it. That's 2 servings of soup and more than one serving of the veggies, and with water to drink, you're under 250 calories for a whole meal. It's been pretty good, but beware the French Onion soup they have. Only 50 calories a serving, but it tastes like French Butthole soup instead. Maybe not even French. Maybe, like, Luxembourg.

It's not without its problems, though. The soups are, like you've probably guessed, high in sodium - usually well over 1,000mg per can. I'm upping my water intake along with it, and it's not an EVERY meal thing, so I think it'll be alright. Hell, it's got to be better than what I was cramming into my body previously, right?

Either way, it has been a fantastic week, and I'm looking forward to another one as well. We'll see what tomorrow morning holds on the weigh-in!
