Haven’t been logging much since I keep forgetting to
But your lifting is pure awesome.
I’m in the opposite camp. My logging is rigorous but my lifting is
.
I’m so jealous of that squat. It’s a big “public goal” for me (in the log title to increase social pressure to not back out). Meanwhile you’re just repping 315 all day every day haha! Was your coworker scared? I hope you explained that you are in the top 1% of women and don’t create an unrealistic expectation!
I didn’t really say much, but she was staring like a looooooot lol.
That’s insane. You have any plans of competing?
Yeah eventually. If anything in Texas pops up sometime in the near future that would be nice. However I’m not rushing or anything. I’d like some more time off work and stuff just to focus on that
It’s really so nice to have you back again. We missed you!
Awww thank youuuuu! I missed you guys too!

Cut the workout after that because my form broke down, and I pushed passed noticeable failure, and I was still trying to go for another single on push press, and smacked my lights out. Slowly moved my head forward and the Bar hit right under my neck/chin and I just kind of sank and dropped everything. Have a horrible whiplash headache, but I’ll be alright. Gonna sleep all day tomorrow.

1 hour LISS cardio
Went to the doctors yesterday because I kept feeling like I was falling to my right side. Long story short I knocked my equilibrium out of place just a bit.
Wow that sucks! Hope you’re back to normal soon!
Update:
It goes. Some days are great, others are not so great. The bouts of depression come and go. To which, I simply let it pass.
I have been pulling mostly underhand and with hook grip because……because I don’t wanna break a nail pulling mixed grip. There…I said it. Lol
I’ve been studying Galatians at the moment, and 5:22-23…be it as simple as it reads, has really showed me how occupied you can become just focusing on being and living the fruits of the spirit.
Don’t seem to have time to loathe being around others, or loathe driving to work, or being fearful of saying this, or not saying that, when I’m focusing on being patient with hubby and mom, being kind at work despite the unkindly atmosphere, etc.
Really shifts the attention elsewhere, and not on myself.
Any new places you’re at with reading?
You’ll never guess what I’m reading…
Galatians 5 specifically a reading plan based on the fruits of the spirit. Which is odd in and of itself because I only started a couple of days ago as a break from a Bible in a year plan.
Thanks for the tag and letting me know what you’re reading, if I’m honest I’ve been struggling a lot with stress and that squeezes out God when you need him most, he has such interesting ways of gently reminding us what’s important and shifting our gaze back to him, it often reminds me of Peter walking on water and then Jesus allowing him to sink slowly - grace even in our failures, letting us slip just far enough that we can more clearly see our need for him.
What are the odds? ![]()
