WEIGHT LOSS VII – Burpee Madness!!!

I need to start putting money aside. I had decided when I finished my last saving streak that I would give myself 3 weeks off before I start again. I have a rough idea what I want to put away every week, but dude it’s hard. The psychology that goes behind keeping your hands off your money and putting limits on yourself is really not easy.

But it helps knowing what you want out of it and why you are doing it. And I know both those things so I’ll do it anyway. It’s pretty much the same as my exercise. I mean, I really am tired of it. This daily stress on my body… my head is tired of even thinking about it. Yesterday I said I would change up my work out. I did.

I switched out the first part of y exercise and much of my cardio and replaced it with burpees. 40 of them. (NOTE: Burpees are the devil) It was so taxing in fact that it took me an hour. A friggin hour, to complete it. (The routine. Previously it would take 40 minutes max… after my last modification that is)

I’ve been talking to S and she called me crazy. (I don’t know if I mentioned this before but S has been in the world of work out longer than I have, so I tend to believe what she says to me and I am convinced I must be crazy)

So considering the rules we set down to enable daily exercise this new work out is not sustainable. It’s too taxing and it takes too long. I’m already frazzled and it’s only been a day. We’ve decided that I’m going to either cut this down to 20 burpees which I may do in sets of…5 I guess or just break the burpees sown all together into individual exercises. (One burpee here consists of 2 squats, a plank, 2 pushups, jump up and 2 jumping jacks… Okay, now that I look at it, S is right. I AM CRAZY) No wonder I’m sore inside and out.

So that’s what’s on the agenda for today. Figure out a way to cut down this routine into respectable bite sized pieces that I can do comfortably every day that burns. This will be a process of course. But I usually come out with something that does the trick.

I WANT that bikini body and I will put in the work for it. Anybody else have bikini aspirations like me for the year 2017?

Good luck! I’ll see you guys next post!!!
