Wow I feel like I blogged SO MUCH in January because of the FDU meet, and then pretty much not at *all* the past week. Meep. I’ll work on that. Anyhow, what’s new this month? Well… I officially sent off my registration for the NYC Open on March 16th, so that’s a thing I’m doing […]
There’s just something about being on the platform working on the prescribed strength portion, being in your own little zone, focusing hard, taking a super tough pull, finishing your rep… and your coach walking over from out of your peripheral vision, giving you a look of pride and saying, “Those are some of the *best* […]
After the way I lifted on Monday, I was already a bit apprehensive about going in to lift tonight. I think coming off a shit night just really does something to your head, you know? I’m not usually too much of a head case, even though lifting does get in my head a bit, but […]
Last night at oly I had the worst day I’ve ever had lifting. I’ve had days where technique has been frustrating and I’ve struggled, but I’ve never just been so CONFUSED about what was going on with my body until yesterday. We started with some general work, and then moved into Max Snatch for the […]
As many of you know, I was losing my mind last week because my first Olympic Weight Lifting meet got moved up from the first week in February to the second week in January. This cut my training time into… pretty much zero. That said, the whole purpose of me doing the meet in February […]
Before I get started with the actual purpose of this post, I wanted to let you all know that…. MY SINGLET CAME TODAY OVERNIGHT AND I CANNOT WAIT TO TRY IT ON!!!!!!!! Please enjoy this photo of it sitting on my desk at work: Alright, enough of that! Since I first started freaking out about […]
Recently I’ve been kind of slinking around emotionally in my Olympic Lifting (oly) classes because my coach and I discussed me trying out an USAW meet in February of this year. I’ve been attending oly classes twice a week (which is as often as they’re held at CFN), just working on technique and trying to […]
Where to even begin with this check-in… It’s close to on time? That’s about the best thing I can say today. I took snaps of my scale yesterday and I haven’t even looked at the numbers yet. I honestly don’t want to. They’re sitting on my phone next to me and I’m dreading them. […]
I know. Epic fail. I missed a month AND this one is late. I’m so bad at this. In a way, I kind of wonder if that means that these numbers aren’t as important to me anymore? …that also might just be a slight excuse for not wanting to post them. ANYHOW Here we are […]
It’s been two months, and now it’s the 13th. I know. It’s awful. I’m sorry. As far as what I’ve been up to…. I’ve been ALL over the place these past two months. Though August I kept up my regular 2x Crossfit, 2x Derby schedule, but the past few weeks I’ve been Crossfitting a lot […]
