(Appears that our eyeballs are missing. Pretty creepy.)
Anyhoooo-
Our CFKW team of trainers gathered at Flemings Sunday evening- livin' large we were! Husband Rich pulled some strings (he's quite connected) and scored us a private room!
Wanted to celebrate our rock star team of trainers that we appreciate HUGELY- couldn't ask for a better group to coach with- passionate, embracing of our entire community, form-focused, and incredibly positive people! Extra awesome, they are (as you well know!)
The food and the company were DIVINE! Truly, truly, truly.
Kicking myself for not busting out the camera and clicking pics of my food.
Had the seafood towers for appetizers- yum.
Spinach salad.
Sea bass with sauteed mushrooms and sauteed spinach.
One of the best meals I've had. I must go back... soon (got that, Husband?)
Lake Mill may have another nickname- Jammie pants. Feel free to ask him for the explanation. It actually (conveniently!) relates to "Lake." Not sure he can ever shake Lake Mill. Pretty engrained...
And, Peanut... she may become Ginger Peanut. We shall see.
We bullied her into knocking out her push ups after dinner as I had already done mine and PMill insisted on doing hers right before bed. The Husband joined her...
A little explanation of the lava cake reference.
Rich saved his big treat for the weekend for Sunday night. Lava cake (think warm, melty brownie), fresh whipped cream, french vanilla ice cream, and berries.
Contrast that with Matt's berry. Sorry... make that TWO berries.
Heckling in the video below references his belly full of lava cake.
TRAINER UPDATE!
It's official! Matt will be taking over the Wednesday 6:00 AM class starting this week!
He's ready to roll!
His bio and video are up in the trainer section (left-hand column) of the website, too!
So, let's rewind a bit to earlier in the weekend where I thought I had a clever idea.
Turned out to not be one of the best that has entered my brains.
THE FILTHY 50 was on deck, and we offered up an "amped up" version with a bit heavier weights, same rep scheme.
Whooo weeee.
I literally WAS molasses on the burpees and KTE. I literally re-did at least a dozen of my KTE since I was knees-to-triceps on TOO many.
Here's what happened...
Just a rough workout no matter how you cut it.
Mr. Rogers and Diana D. got top times for the amped version, and Guy Smiley and Chai for the regular version.
Solid effort by all!
Video footage of the morning for ya:
Welcome to Reed (top left) who joined us on Saturday for the first time and big props to Matt C. (standing next to TFG) who completed his intro classes this week and jumped right into his first class! Matt tackled the "Dirty 30" and hung right in there! Perfect chest-to-deck push ups with his burpees!
Owen T. joined in the stretching.
Raised pigeon.
Such a little buster brown. :)

There are still a few spots left if anyone else would like to join in! Would love to have you!
PUSH UP CHALLENGE-
DAY 51!
Need to brag on John Henry who committed to 50 days of the push up challenge and successfully completed his reps on Sunday!
Here is what Maren had to say:
I would like to note that his form has improved greatly since the beginning of the challenge. He really worked on being planked out as straight as possible. He still needs to work on 'elbows back' but he's come a long way since day one!
Now I have to buy him the Madeye Moody wand from Harry Potter, as his award for completing his goal!
