US National Whitewater Center Adventures!

On Saturday the 8th of September, I finally got to experience the joys of the USNWC.  I first learned about the USNWC back in 2008 and went a couple of times with friends to see their summer series concerts.  We had a good time but I wanted to do more than just listen to a band play.  I wanted to participate in the fun!  But alas, I was too fat!  You see, there are weight and/or size restrictions…

100lbs Gone for Good!

A feat I thought would never happen has happened!  I have lost 100, that's ONE HUNDRED pound!  That's insane, isn't it?  I mean, it's insane that I had 100 pounds to lose, even more, insane is that it's actually happened!  Though, I guess what's most insane is that I still have about 60 to go, which will you know, make my total loss 160lbs.

First of all, obstacle racing has seemed like a brilliant idea to me since I first discovered it about 2 years ago.  But 2 years ago I was too fat to even THINK about actually doing one.  I'm 90lbs less than I was back in…

A Mud What?!

It's been almost 4 months since my last blog post.  This MIGHT be the longest I've ever gone.  For all of you who have been waiting with baited breath, I'm sorry.  I've thought about writing a couple of times but then I've thought, "what would I even write about?"  Things have really been very...boring for the past several months.  Okay, maybe "boring" isn't the right word, but I can't really…
