THE THANG:

Have you ever worked out so hard that you get this iron taste in your lungs and throat? That was me this morning. I always seem to push myself 50% harder than normal when Qing – trying my very best to give my fitter brethren an actual workout. Here is what they made me do this morning:

10 Erkins (limited to 10 so not to push my shoulder too much too soon) 20 Big Boy Sit-ups
30 Imperial Walkers IC
40 SSH IC
50 Step Ups (“easy” way count)
60 Side Crunches (flip halfway through)
70 Squats
80 Zebra Butt Kicks (switch legs halfway through)

** We stopped at the top of the pyramid for some group complaining (IC of course) before heading back down the pyramid. OK – confession time – most of the complaining/wheezing was coming from me. **

70 Squats
60 Side Crunches (flip halfway through)
50 Step Ups (“easy” way count)
40 SSH IC
30 Imperial Walkers IC
20 Big Boy Sit-ups
10 Erkins

Then collapse

Then get back up by realizing – oh my – that you still have Mary to do:

1/ Box cutters
2/ Heels to heaven
3/ Flutter kicks
4/ LBCs

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Lumbergh to Q on Friday

COT:

My wife and I have four day weekends planned for the next two weekends, one trip to Williamsburg and another to Annapolis to see the Christmas lights and other holiday festivities. And on the way down to Williamsburg we are also stopping in Quantico for a fancy tea party that is being held by one of her many garden clubs. Touring Christmas lights and attending tea parties is not my jam, but I suggested the trips because such adventures make my wife so very happy. And I love making her happy and I am looking forward to spending time with her on these trips. I challenged the PAX to also surprise their spouses by inviting them to something they love this weekend.

WARMUP: SSH, LBACs, Michael Phelps, Moroccan Night Clubs, and a bunch of the otehr usual stuff THE THANG:
Parking Lot Phase:
We moseyed to the parking lot and then had to keep waiting for a parking space by using bear crawls and exercises based on the Beary Sweaty workout. We did a few rounds of : – Two crawl steps and 2 no cheat merkins
– Two crawl steps and full bonnie blair
– Two crawl steps and 2 burpees

Thankfully we found a parking space after several starts and stops and moseyed back over to the entrance.

Entrance
At the entrance we did T stabilizers to show the attendant our membership cards.

Once we got inside, we had several items to pick up on our shopping list. Shopping
We did 20 of each exercise.

– Chest press for mechanics on the tires
– Bicep Curls. Picking up wine
– Tricep curls, Picking up from high shelf
– Bent over rows (picking up water cases)
– Atlas shrugs (grass seed or fertilizer)
– Dog Food (Floor to ceiling)

We then rifle carried our brand new Playstation 5 to the cart in the middle of the field and stacked our coupons on it. From their we did AMRAAPS with a timer of pairs moving coupons to the end of the field and back on the cart. While waiting, do the following body weight exercises:

– Sofa Section (Reverse Burpees)
– Food samples – Jungle Bois (think Bobby Hurley’s but instead of slapping the ground your scooping with your 2 hands as if they were spoons) – Big boy situps
– Calf raises in front lunge position (switch legs when they turn around) – Star crunches
– Supermans

Thankfully, we found all we need an more and move to checkout.

Checkout
– Copper head squats while waiting in line
– Ring of fire with coupons going through checkout – Each pax takes coupons off cart and then forms a circle where we can pass all coupons around the full circle at least one time. We passed the circle to the left and right.

When you shop at Costco, you can’t pass up the $1.50 Hotdog and Soda.

Food Court
– Foot release squats

After our tasty meal, we had to check receipts with more T stabilizers. We then got in our car for some Mary.

MARY: Alabama Prom Dates, JLos, flutter kicks, box cutters
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1st F happy hour this Friday, book club on Saturday
COT: Advent is a season of waiting in hope. In my faith, we have hope that all things will be set right some day when there is a new heaven and a earth. That hope helps to endure when things don’t go right in this world, or when we suffer, or when we face injustices that won’t be corrected in our lifetime. The hope also give the strength to do the right thing, even if it won’t be rewarded now, because one day it will. In this season, I encourage everyone to look for their hope in the 3rc f of faith.
