As you put the final touches on your goals for 2009, remember the above mantra. Simply put, there’s no shortcut to the top, there’s no substitution for hard work, and if you show up and put in the time, you will accomplish everything you want.

Awesome idea from Crossfit San Francisco
…..
You can PRE-pay for one sweet item on the same day you plan to indulge by performing 100 consecutive burpees (with a jump and clap over-head at full extension).
The Pre-Payment shame has to be done on the day of, and cannot be credited to a day in the future. The burpees expire at midnight.
You also can’t spread the burpees out over the course of the day in an attempt to ameliorate their heinousness. Burpees done at a Crossfit workout also don’t count.
Two cookies by the way? That would be 200 burpees.

Happy White Death Free New Year!
Justin, nice job representing us in Seattle. I’m not sure about the 100 burpees for one sweet. I think I would burn more calories doing 100 burpees than I’d get from one Oreo. If I stick with the 100 burpee challenge then eventually I can eat 90% or more of a cookie for 10 days straight! Whoopee!

I already joined the Jesus Hates Sugar group on FB. Kelly Starrett’s wife created the group and it’s about avoiding the White Death until the end of the 100 days of burpees.
