Are You One Tough Mudder?!?!?!?!?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone.. i was just wondering if there was anyone in the sac, ca area that would like to train for the tough mudder with me.

it will be a great way to kick up your weightloss as well as get mentally and physically in shape.. im tellin you right now that it wont be easy but when you complete the competition you will feel so free of anything that was keeping you down before, because if you can do THIS....YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!!

I am shooting for the Sept 2012 competition in TAHOE.. but im willing to also recognize that i just had surgery and that i don't think i will have built up the stamina needed to compete that early so worse case senario, i start training now and wait till next year FEB to compete in the bay area.

It would be really nice to start up a team and do it together, but i know not everyone has the same level of fitness ability. So if you are interested let me know.. because i am going to start training ASAP!

and for those of you that just want to see the journey i will document it.. pictures and all.. and its gonna be sweat, blood and tears!

I wished I lived near you (and had already had the surgery) as my goal is to do Tough Mudder one year after my surgery. It looks like so much fun and like the experience of a lifetime! Good luck with your training and keep us posted, as I would be interested in knowing what you think of it!

Less i was in the middle of drinkin some Water when i read this and litterally spit it every where i was laughing so hard.. lol girl you are crazy!!! that was too cute.. its intense i know, but its definitely worth while... cuz when you finish the race even if its last place you will have accomplished something that only about 3% of the population could achieve. lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
