Don't Be Such a Halloweenie

With only 2 months remaining in this experiment, it's becoming harder and harder to keep up the routine. Whether it be my busy schedule, getting sick, or just being downright lazy, it's been a struggle to continue keeping my workouts as consistent as I've gone along. And with all of the gluttonous holidays looming on the calendar, as well as the monotonous Burpee repetitions, I feel as though I have Count von Count acting as my personal trainer.

"One Burpee, Ah Ah Ah, Two Burpees, Ah, Ah, Ah"

All that to say, my body still feels great, and if I wasn't spending 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week, doing Burpees, it would be a struggle to find the time to do anything else. And I'll take that over poor health any day.

So, the next time you're breathlessly running for your life from a knife wielding maniac, remember you could have used that 15 minutes of watching TV the other day to stay in shape, instead of officially becoming the slowest member of your herd.

"Did someone say Burpees?"

But, as you can see by my results below, the closer I got to Halloween and that insatiable lure of never-ending chocolate, my workouts tailed off much earlier in the week than I would have liked them to. Now I just have to hope Michael Meyers doesn't pay me a visit soon:

Date	Workout	Sets	Total Time (Morning)	Total Time (Night)	Beak Time Per Set	Total Burpees
10/23/2012	REST
10/24/2012	Ladder	15	15 min 02 sec	14 min 51 sec	40 sec	240
10/25/2012	Ladder	15	15 min 08 sec	14 min 57 sec	40 sec	240

10/28/2012	Ladder

In the spirit of All Hallows' Eve, I'll leave you this week with a quote from TV pastry chef and author, Emily Luchetti:

"After eating chocolate, you feel godlike, as though you can conquer your enemies, lead armies, and entice lovers."
