struggling to make through 2 more days of work plus activities 😢 zero energy left  

"and this too shall pass" When's your next mugger? 

oops *mudder 🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆 I'm a little exhausted, tot  

*too 🤪 

I know you can and will. 😎 

You lost a pound 38 times!!! Losing a pound permanently is no joke, and not easy for most of us, and possibly a common benchmark for having to learn yet another lesson before another pound. That means you probably went through 38 new unwritten lessons about being healthier, plus, in your case, getting fit too, and exercising more than most people, even more than most healthy, fit people! For some people, the benchmark for having to learn yet another lesson and get over another short period of burnout, may be losing just a fraction of a pound permanently, but not if you are as active as ObeseToBeast, well probably not. For others, if they are active enough enough plus extremely lucky genetics, lol, which would be extremely *unlucky* genetics instead if you are that same way but trying to get fit instead of just slim, the benchmark for another round of lessons/short burnout/a serious challenge may be losing 2 or 3 lbs permanently. 

thanks everyone at least my oncall shift ended this morning still have to get through work today and tomorrow. too tired to lift last night but I got a good workout in on my lunch  

LivinBreezy first race is next Sunday then I pretty much have one every month after that lol. kids are excited hope they weather isn't as bad as last year  

was a slow week for oncall too only did like 23 hours of overtime  

and the season begins! I showed my grandson some of your posts. He wants to know when he/we can do go do that 😬 Where are they? I'd love to take him to see one in person. 

It's a rough day when I stop at panera 3 times for a caffeine fix 😫  

Livin_Breezy you should get him to go do one he would love it! We are doing them in NY, NJ, PA and VT this year but they have them all over. Unfortunately they stopped doing kids tough mudder races but spartan still does the kids races ages 4 and up. 

Thanks OTB. He's going to be 11 this summer so I'll see what I can do. 

LivinBreezy ohh then he can do the really cool kids one then! they have a half mile, 1 mile and 2 mile course. the 2 mile is ages 8 to 12 and it's just smaller versions of all the adult obstacles.  

Oh Wow! What am I getting myself into 🤪 Sounds great!!! 

🙏🙏 my heart goes out to you.😟 Sunday is almost here! My week from hell is finally over!🙌 I’m so exhausted. Took my shower, put my pj’s on and now I’m ready to just chill on the couch with my dumb dog 😅 

Neicy thanks I'm jealous.. made it through work then had to run to meet someone to buy some kayaks for Me and the kids then back to practice home to load my truck for the dump drop off in the morning then off to work once I dump it OmG how the hell is my life this jam pack always its madness ... must survive tomorrow 😫 then 😴😴😴😴😴 

O pray you find a way to rejoice in the all too busy life you're living. It's wonderful to be that alive! You have got to be one of the best dads I've witnessed with all the ways you involve your children. You are one of the best at encouraging everyone you are in contact with on FS. It's great to get so exhausted you can't move a muscle. Its amazing to wake up to a new day ready to explode into life with energy. Relish these times. They are some of the most rewarding times in a person's life. You will do far more than just survive tomorrow!!! 

Thanks 🙂 I won't lie I don't even remember typing that last post must have been 3/4 asleep at that point  

While we all applaud you…and we do…mama bear up north here is a little worried for your well being. Curious…do you find it hard to say no to people? Cause there is a thing called burnout…and often results in shingles…I’ve been there, done that. Kinda concerned for ya buddy. That’s all. We all must rest. Without it on a regular basis…we will suffer consequences of some sort. Take care of yourself, your own wifey and those kiddos you got. You’re all a team and need each other. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
