It’s Fat Tuesday…...

I need to fill the web-site with boys this week...I heard I was being prejudice with "pony week" last week....Hmmm Whiners!!

Today is "Fat Tuesday!" And I don't know if my parents raised me in a box and sheltered me from the outside world but just last week I learned of a tradition that I have been apparently missing out on. What baffles me is I was raised in a Catholic home...but I believe until I moved to this area which celebrates more of the Polish traditions...I had never heard of things like dyngus day or now paczki's. I'm 42 years old and I just figured out why they call it Fat Tuesday!?!?!?

So, back to my original point....I was raised in a Catholic home where we ALWAYS recognized Lent. I am no longer a practicing Catholic but have decided to use Lent as a time to crack down on some self disciplines that I need to work on in my life. I have chosen 3 things that I will be working on diligently for the next 40 days...1 of those this will involve something physical, 1 will involve something spiritual, and 1 will involve something mental - it just so happens that this all coincides with the timing of the CrossFit games. And so my fellow gamers(and fellow CrossFitters), I am taking this opportunity to challenge you to pick three self disciplines to work on for the remainder of the CrossFit Games(for those of you NOT in the games for the next 40 days)......they don't have to be anything crazy or drastic...in fact I will list my 3 self disciplines at the bottom of this page to share with all of you....but they do have to be consistent and spoken out loud. I would love to make a list for all of us to share accountability to each other......

If you would like to join me in your self-disciplines.....send me an email with your 3 and I will compile a list and send it to everyone that would like to be involved. With that being said, today is "Fat Tuesday!" and to kick off our self disciplines I will be treating my gamers to a Paczki Party....yep....I'm gonna go for it.....never had one before!! I will bring Paczki's for anyone that wants one....(you'll have to let me know this as well!)

Carole: February 22 - April 6
Physical: I will work on my double unders EVERY DAY for 10-15 minutes.
Spiritual: I will read the bible every day.
Mental: I will not swear (I can't explain how hard this will be) If I swear I will pay a quarter to the "rice bowl!"

Anyone in? Send me an email and I will add you to the list.
