WOD 122510

*For Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord...Luke 2:11
Why?
*There is none righteous, no not one...Romans 3:10
*For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God...Romans 3:23
*Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned..Romans 5:12
*But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us...Romans 5:8
*For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord...Romans 6:23
*That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation...Romans 10:9-10
*For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved...Romans 10:13
And that is the true meaning of Christmas...Merry Christmas, Militants!

Last week until Christmas. If anyone would like to purchase gift certificates they are only $40. Also, we will have team sign ups for the biggest loser/Valentines Day WOD contest. If you have any questions on what to eat please look up "Crossfit Zone Diet" and pull up the "Meal Plans" pdf files. Print it out and bring it to the gym and I will go over it with you. It's $20 a person for the contest. All money goes into a pot for the team that wins the biggest loser and the team that wins the WOD! So, sign up, it will be fun. Remember, what ever team you pick is the team you are on for both events and only members may join the contest so if you have anyone who would like to join us have them come and try us out. If you're thinking this is going to be difficult eating good at work because people bring junk food or won't support you, try starting a biggest loser at work and make it a money prize. That always gets people motivated.

Fantastic job today, Militants! Let me explain how the biggest loser challenge is going to work. It's a $20 buy in. All the money goes into the winners hat. But that will be split in two. The team of four that wins the biggest loser will win half of that pot of money. The other half will go to the team of four that wins the Valentines WOD. So don't just pick your team for the biggest loser, also pick your team to win the V-Day WOD. Members may only join the competition and remain members the whole time. The more you workout the more inches and weight you lose and the better shape you will be in for V-Day. Also, diet is just as important as working out. Everyone send me an e-mail so I can send you the Zone way of eating. Print it out and bring it to the gym and we will go over everything you need to know. The better you eat the better you feel and your weight will diminish faster. So, even if you don't think you are going to do the biggest loser challenge, join the money pot and see if your team wins the workout.

Can you believe it's December already! Challenge for the month...100 Airsquats everyday. I also wanted to add a food challenge, but I didn't want to take the joy of eating out of December but I would like to add a bit of health to it. Challenge yourself to drink 32oz to 64oz of water every day. This is going to prepare you for our challenge in January which I want you to think about. We will be doing a biggest loser challenge starting January 1st and going until Valentines Day. It will be a team challenge so seek out your team now. This will keep you all accountable and encouraged. We will weigh you and calliper you (Tony, I need your callipers) on Jan 1st. Then before the V-Day WOD we will do it again and then you and your team will do the workout together. We will do a buy in of $20 a person if you want to be in the challenge and it will go in the winners pool. Which ever team lost the most weight by percentage wins. I will put team sign ups on the board and you can choose what team you want to be on. So enjoy December because it's strict eating in January.

Also, don't forget, it's pay week. See you all tomorrow.

Thanksgiving "The Real Story"


The Geroge Washington 1789 Thanksgiving proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor--and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be -- That we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks -- for His kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation -- for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpostions of His Providence which we experienced in the tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed -- for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted -- for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed: and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which He hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions -- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually -- to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed -- to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness onto us) and to bless them with good government peace and concord -- To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us -- and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
