Did you know...

"It's not whether you get knocked down, but whether you get back up."?? That's a big part of Corps Fitness and IM ABLE philosophy.

CF Christmas in June



















BF...did you vote? And not show? What kind of sick person, looking at those workout options, would vote and then not show?


It was somewhere around rep 617 that I thought, "Gee 20 people voted...but only 10 are here...that's pretty disturbed!"


So, if you were a voter-non-show-er, you got some soul-searchin' to do. Regardless, you know the 10 that show'd (the wild bunch!). That has to be THE SICK-ILLEST workout ever devised (if not...it's in the top 2). Yummy food was a tasty way to top off the workout...but really, it's a good thing Christmas only comes twice a year.

Please bring something to eat/drink:
1) If you've been avoiding a certain food(s) on this 6-week weight loss challenge and want to treat yourself, then bring that food you've been craving...my team knows I'll have the Swedish Fish, Jelly Beans, Licorice, and sundry jellied candies, anything prepared with Yellow 7, Red 5, and Blue 3!!!

OR

2) Did you find a new, tasty, healthy recipe during the 6-weeks that you want to share, then bring that dish/treat...for example Nat gave us Cowboy Caviar, a nice black bean salsa!

OR

3) Just bring whatever you find easiest!!

Feasting may commence before, during, and/or after the 12 Days workout (ideally the Black Bean salsa comes AFTER)!!

Thanks for participating and hope you all reached your goals, learned something new, and had fun!!
