Cookies Get Muddy!

So here we go!  Frid night I get a call asking me to join a mud run team for Saturday morning.  I have been thinking about it and then with help from my trainer Brian and others around me I decided to do it.  I was nervous.  I had never done one before or even know what was involved. So therefore, I didnt want to be the big fat fatty that couldn't do it.  I got over that.  I figured I have dropped weight, inches, training regularly, and just an overhaul improved health and well-being.  I figured they knew what I look like they know I am working to lose weight and better myself.

It was AMAZING.  I had so much fun.  Of course there were obstacles I couldn't physcially get myself over and others that terrifed me to death with heights.  I supported my team and helped them and we all worked together.  It was a blast.  I want to do it again in the Spring and hopefully get through more than I did this time! It was so great as you were finishing the last couple obstacles in the main area, people are cheering you on to finish!

 

 

 

So here we are all nice and clean before the race.  Our team was the birds, since we are not from South Carolina, we flew in! lol... 

 

There are tons of photos on my Facebook from the whole event.  I am bruised from my arms to my toes. I think I broke my big toe.  I didn't care though.  It was the best experience and I cant wait to do it again :) 

 

Today was back at it.  I didn't workout last night and felt guilty.  I iced my foot instead.  Today I did thrusters. Lots and lots of thrusters!  Im back in my routine and the Mud Run only energized me to do more and push through!

 

Things are going great for me in every aspect.  Tomrrow October 3rd, will be two months no smoking.  The last time I smoked a cigarette was two months ago today.  I cant believe how much I have improved my health and really put myself first.

 

 

Minus the goofy ass smile on my face, but my reward continues to be my success.  For the first time in my life I am wearing a medium size t-shirt. It's not really about the pounds, its about the fitness, and I am really starting to see that.  The goal is wellness and fitness not a number.
