COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With Thanksgiving next week, and my busyness, I am not always good about taking time to reflect on things I am thankful for.  We all took a moment to share one of those things.  We were reminded that some of the things in our lives are things that we take for granted, and those very things would be the answer to others prayers. The challenge was to remember and reflect on thins we are thankful for, and things we take for granted, and as we approach Thanksgiving, that we get our minds right and put the proper things in perspective.

Mermaid Pocket Q

THE SCENE: Comfortable
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

THA-THANG:
No one was scheduled so I picked up the Q.  We went to the CMU pile and grabbed a block.  There are 4 corners in the parking lot.  Mermaid took the first round and in corner one picked an upper body exercise, rifle carry to corner 2, for a lower body exercise, carry to corner 3 for an ab exercise, and finally to corner 4 for a bonus, whatever you want exercise.  We had 6 in attendance, and everyone got a turn picking exercises in the above fashion.

MARY:
A short Mary consisted of two minutes of flutter kicks, it was a crowd pleaser.

Revised Memory @ Shamrock

THE SCENE: Sweaty!
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Tempo Squats
Arm Circles forward and backward
Cherry Pickers

THA-THANG:
Pieces of cardboard were laid out face down.  We drew the pieces one at a time and played memory or match.  You did each exercise turned over unless it was a match, in which case you ran a lap.  One team decisively beat the other 5 matches to zero.  The first time we played, it was 4-1.  We will keep this one on hand and do it again in the future.

MARY:
No time left for Mary.  The workout had plenty of Ab exercises.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We talked about the importance of discipline.  Working out is hard, it hurts, hard to wake up in the morning, but we enjoy and we keep coming back.  I encouraged everyone to apply that same discipline to other aspects of your life.  For me that is spiritual discipline.  I need to be more disciplined in that aspect of my life.  It is hard, it may be painful, but if I stick with it, it will become enjoyable, and I will miss it if I don’t do it.
