Day #244 - Today is 8 months into this challenge.  This day is also, sadly 10 years from when my mother lost her battle with breast cancer and why I am doing this.  I miss her everyday - the most beautiful, selfless, strong and amazing woman ever. I strive to be like her and to be the same example to my children as she was to me.  I am honored to be part of the Burpees 4 Boobs family!  Day #238 was just burpees. Day #239 fell on Thursday, which is the same day as my 6 week, Thursday 5:30am GRIT class....that workout had 54 burpees in it (tabata style) so then I finished the rest after the group workout was completed.  Days #240, 241 and 242 were done in Key West....I took great joy in doing them on Sunday, Day 242 - it was Mother's Day! <3.  Day #243 was just burpees and today I did my burpees with 150 sit ups and kettlebell swings.   Total burpee count is 29,890!!!!  Please spread the word and donate....mammogramsinaction.org

#236 and #237

Day #236....I did the first 46 with a client - we burpeed across the roof of the parking garage where I work as his warm up, then I did the other 190 as just burpees.

Day #237 - I did career day at the elementary school where my younger 2 go....I figured you're never too young to learn how to do a burpee....I knocked out 30 of them with a bunch of 1st and 3rd graders. Then I went to the gym for a traditional workout day and did my burpees there as my cardio before the workout. With yesterdays, I also crossed the 28K mark.

Day #235

Days 230 and 231 were just burpees. Day 232, I did 10 kettle bell swings (35#) and then 30 burpees until I reached 232.

Day 233 was a special day.....33 being my favorite #, I have made any burpee day with that # a more "fun" workout.  I have video of day #33 and Day #133 on this blog.  A great friend of mine loves designing workouts so I called on her to design my day #233 workout and she came up with a crazy one for sure 

took me 57:10 to complete!! Thanks Amy!!

Yesterday was day #234 and also Cinco de Mayo....after a crazy workout with Day 233 and it being a Saturday, I enlisted Amy to join me with these burpees and this time I would design the workout. 

We did 10 burpees on the minute and then a shot of tequila after each 50 with a final shot "buyout" when we finished.  Amy did the first 100 with me and then did 5 on the minute to my 10 for the rest.

Today I will be doing 235 ....minus other exercises and tequila!!
