Day 11

This challenge is turning to a much greater mental challenge than physical. Make it 200 a day and I'll still get it done, confront me with what mainstream America thinks a "trainer" looks like and I'll stand proud for what I stand for. Total health, happiness, strength, and an understanding of ones self and the obstacles we place in front of ourselves. Nobody can stop us but ourselves! I have spent a lot of my live putting obstacles in my own path, self-sabotage was a way of life. I used my parents divorce, my big thighs, food, cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, depression, as excuses for why I couldn't do something. Excuses for being small, excuses for not living the life I knew I wanted. Who was I to start kickboxing at 36 years old? Who was I to go back to school and become a fitness trainer being the size I am, who the hell am I at almost 39 years old to think I can do 100 Burpees a day for 100 days and finish it?! This is who I am, a 38 year old recovering drug addict who quit her job, quit smoking, quit drinking, quit drugs, quit sugar, quit god damn grains, and quit believing that I couldn't...cos you know what I fucking can and I will show you every single day. All I have is today and today I'm doing 150 Burpees and getting my ass kicked with a smile on my face. What are you doing?


I failed to do my Burpees on Monday. I must be punished! :) Tuesday I completed 150. Wednesday I completed 150 and 100# front squat, #65 overhead press, 20kg swing ladder. Also did full ab series with NaNa (nancy, a most gnarly training partner). Today, day 11 I will complete 150 Burpees (50 extra as punishment) and train in kickboxing.
