INTRO:

First Q at the Paragon. Thought it was appropriate to introduce the boys to EDM Jesus since I got a new equipment upgrade in my formula one car (cough, I mean Nissan Leaf). Threw open the doors and we did the entire workout to my fave Spotify playlist called EDTim, cause it’s my jam. EDM Jesus didn’t disappoint and provided glows-stick necklaces for all. Dandy asked about the ecstasy, I told him I was bringing the natural form today! #littledidheknow

WARM-O-RAMA:

A little mosey around the parking lot. Full discloser including but not limited to, even though the workouts are free, tips are accepted. I was offered tips throughout the workout, unfortunately none came in hard cash.

Reps were taken to 12 (when I was paying attention) cause, you know, Jesus had 12 disciples and got left at the temple at age 12 and such:

Weed Picker

Wind Mill

Imperial Walker

Sun gods (little g-ods, cause we know there’s only one 😉

THE THANG:

J – Jacob’s Ladder (7) – up the hill, increasing burpees, back down around the cone

E – Everest (7) – lunge up the stairs, squat, run down the grass, repeat

S – Scorpion dry dock (40) OYO – dry dock with one leg above your 6

U – Up downs (12) – high knees, chest to the ground on Qs count, back to high knees – in cadence

S – Side straddle hops (40) – in cadence

Laps after each letter (if I remembered)

Go back for the 6 or air chair it or plank it

Ended with Mary’s

Crowd Q :
Do-see-do with box cutters… popcorn
Backseat boy with Freddie Mercuries… popcorn
Fleetwood with some crazy Merkin hop
Wiggum shut us down on the dot cause I don’t have a digital watch, I prefer sundials

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

6th man – Tebow. Recently went through a divorce, F3 has helped him get on the up and up… so has his recent water color classes where he admitted to getting in touch with his more “sensitive side”. Way to go Tebow!

FNG – Corbett Gilliam (TitleMax’s brother) got named Figment due to his work in IT and the fact that it’s a old school, silly Disney character. Name cred goes to Dory!

We prayed for brother PAX on the DL as well as for the family HomeBoy served at the Lighthouse retreat this summer. Their daughter is undergoing more Chemo treatments. There were other prayer requests, I am sorry for not remembering them at this time.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Over the years, I’ve gathered a lot of good advice for having a healthy marriage and I like to share one piece at a time in the COT when I Q. Today I shared this concept:
Daily Delay – stop and take time every day to ask your spouse about her day. Show her you listen and care by asking follow up questions.
Weekly Withdrawal – try to pull off a date night every week. This doesn’t have to be out to dinner, but it does have to be intentional to show her how much she matters. So put it on the calendar and bring home flowers and wine. Trust me… it’ll probably turn out very well in your favor!
Annual Abandon – every year, take at least one weekend away to work on your marriage. Like a B&B (Bed & Breakfast). They are super cheap on Groupon. Just like fitness, the more you put into it, the better it is. Great marriages don’t just happen, they take constant work, but it’s so worth it!
I hope this advice helps you like it’s helped me.

See you in the Gloom!
