Muddy Miler Family Adventure

 Saturday we headed out to Round Rock for their free annual Muddy Miler Family Adventure , and we had A BLAST!!  :) The storms the day before made for some even muddier conditions! The race goes off in waves and they use pumps to use the pond water to keep the obstacle extra muddy during the course.  The mile-long course includes.a water slide down the hill into a puddle of water, army crawling through the mud, Climbing a muddy hill of tires, and wade through chest high ice pit. They literally throw ice chest full of ice into the water holes! There were 3 different water holes: one for the littles, one for the bigger kids, and one for the adults-- where we have to go head under water mid-point! I unfortunately forgot about my phone when I did it, so it is now sitting in a bowl of rice.  There was a station where you had to climb the wooden towers, and jump (or go under) wooden hurdle like things. The race ends with climbing a huge mud hill. Austin was serious...

Gym Time!

There are so many days I look at myself and hate that I used to be a what many would call a " gym rat "   and now not so much. I would literally spend at least 2 harcore hours in the gym Monday-Saturday. It was a journey that began with me being able to  getaway  from the little  # hulligans  for 2 hours a day while the hubby was away working overseas or out-of-state. It lead me to losing lots of fat and gaining more muscle (Just hard work and eating right), and many great friendships. At one point, I was heavily considering walking the stage to do an National Physique Competition! I can honestly say, looking back I wasn't happy with the response I was getting. I didn't want the extra attention and I struggled emotionally for awhile. I just wanted to be me.  2012                                                      ...
