Burning FOR REAL 1000 calories/ 5 days a week. Is it healthy?

Ok, I know there are those 1000 calories workouts, but I seriously can't manage to burn more than 650, no matter how much I push myself. I am using a Polar Watch with a HR chest strap, so the info is pretty accurate. Now, I actually need to workout for like 2 hours/ day, to pull a real 1000 calories burn. And I plan to do that for 2 weeks in a row (5 days/ week, 2 days off).

What do you think? Is it healthy? I am not planning to do this forever, just for 2 weeks and see how it is, but, has anyone done anything like this before?
