staff fitness day

It started with a weird email from Dan, our lead pastor and fearless leader.

Let me preface this by saying that Dan was selected to be part of an elite training group comprised of a handful of pastors from around the good ol' USofA. He had daily contact (read accountability) with some well-known fitness coach. He had to workout every day, monitor what he ate, and connect with his coach by phone at some point every dang day for 40 days. I know that he lost some weight, but I don't think he got to the point where he enjoyed it--at least that's what he said!

Anyway, back to the email. Dan shot out a 2 sentence email last night telling us to wear some loose-fitting workout clothes to our staff meeting today. Rob Oshinskie, the president of Victory Sports, came to teach is about fitness and total wellness. Rob is a great guy, passionate about Jesus and the church. He talked to us about diet, exercise, and spiritual life for a while, then moved into teaching us some stretches.

Our staff is hilarious, and it was fun doing all the stretches with our team. The snippets of conversation as we tried to follow his moves were priceless. We've been offered a great deal on a group membership.

Who knows, maybe we'll all take the plunge. Staff meeting on the elliptical machines?
