Thank you Lord!
What an amazing day yesterday. I hope that you all got out to enjoy the weather.
We have so much to be thankful for.
Looks like we will be back outside ladies! I will be preparing the garage today.
Join us this week!
Monday Class 415
Friday 9am
And stay tuned for a possible Wed evening class at 6pm.
Get out and enjoy that weather today! Get to Church and thank God for all of your blessings!

Challenge for the day:
*Run a mile and knock out your max pushups! Let me know how you did.
*Prepare your meals for the week and cook up! Google a new recipe today!
*Fast from complaining today. Be positive with every word that comes out of your mouth! Even if you are frusterated, tired or stressed. Find a way to compliment instead of complain.
