First off, slowly but surely things are getting easier. As my body is getting used to the burpees, I've noticed my soreness recovery time getting shorter and shorter. Second, to a very small degree, I now understand what it feels like for a chain smoker to quit cigarette's cold turkey. Since giving up on fast food, beer, and snack food, I've found myself craving them at all different times of the day. I even had a vivid dream recently involving the infamous red solo cup and peanut butter cookies...Explain that one.
But one thing I've also noticed, is that my drive to work harder has increased over these past three weeks. Not only have I been more motivated in my workouts. I've also been more active in both my work, and around the house (my wife thoroughly appreciates this).
However, this doesn't mean that I'm not fatigued and worn out from these workouts. And I'm not going to lie. After the first week, I was seriously questioning whether or not I was crazy for starting this experiment in the first place.
But since then, I've had a couple changes in my overall attitude. I came into this experiment excited and a little nervous. After the first week, I felt miserable at how ridiculously tired and sore I was. Now, after three weeks of burpees, I can say that I'm happily exhausted. For any of you that work out on a regular basis, you may not enjoy your workouts, but one thing I feel we can all agree on is that afterward we feel a sense of accomplishment.
With that being said, the results of this weeks' 'accomplishment' are posted below:
