Introduction
Excited for this one. Pulled some old stuff out of the books. I like the 30dg weather. Just right. Don’t have to layer too much but cool enough to keep it refreshing. Almost got up for an EC. Then realized how dumb that was. Party Boy and Carmen SD came in hot. Off we Go!

The Thang
Thang 1 – Dumb L.U.C.K.
L – Lunges, Cusak style. Forward, L+R=1.
U – Uhauls – coupon held to chest, extend out, back, then up at 45dg angle, then back (4 count move)
C – Carolina Dry Dock (4 count, so doing 2 counts as 1)
K – Kraken Burpees (Burpee with 3 hand release merkins at the bottom)
10 reps each, repeat for some amount of time. It was supposed to be 10 minutes, but my watch accidentally paused the timer for a while. Only Fargo knows that so don’t tell anyone.
Oh.. and we played Urkel’s highschool playlist, with hits such as “I Saw the Sign” by Ace of Base, “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred, and “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer.

Bad decisions. You ever make one of those? I have. Pleny of them. Decisions that resulted in embarrassing outcomes (I once pissed all over my cousins at a sleepover), to regrettable ones (I once kissed, and told. Everyone). I’ve even ruined friendships and my integrity that to this day I still battle shame over. Though I’ve never been a manager in a world series and pulled my ace, who was having the best game of his life, in the sixth inning and subsequently losing the series. (I guess that happened last night).
The point is we all make terrible decisions. Lots of them. And looking back at them is sometimes incredibly difficult. The embarrassment, guilt, shame, regret can pile up, and we try to ignore it. In fact, we work so hard at pretending it isn’t there that we potentially make the same mistakes, again.
Men, you gotta confess your mistakes. Own it. Acknowledge it. There is something utterly freeing about airing out, admitting wrongs, working through the consequences. We become whole again and LEARN from our mistakes.
This is the same with our health. We MUST first admit we are not making good choices with our health, whether that be food or exercise, and that we need to change. We have to confess we’re sad clowns. Then we need are free to change. This isn’t a one time thing – just like we’re still gonna make terrible decisions, we have to to continually stand up back up from our mistakes and carry on. We need others to help us do this.
So if you’re feeling like a Sad CLown – admit it. tell someone. ask for help. Then stand back up, get back out in the gloom, and learn from it. We’re all better off for it.
