Making some gains on my new training program. It's an Olympic style weight lifting program and it so insanely intense!!! I'm in love with it...I have made the decision to compete in March, rather then the end of Jan. I don't want to cut myself short prepping through the holidays-I feel like I won't come in as strong as I'd like and I won't be able to enjoy my family as much over Christmas. So March it is! Flexibility with competing is so important. I'm learning to listen to my body and where I am emotionally, and not to beat myself up. There are times to push yourself and times to reevaluate and shift priorities-as with everything in life. I think the more I compete too, the better I am at knowing where I need to be 4 months out. I'm a highly optimistic person, and I set tons of goals for myself, but as I get older and wiser I learn what is realistic and what is simply too much. Again, always a balancing act. I'm so excited to have my sister-in-law @krystynoneil prep and compete with me!!! She's such a strong woman and so inspiring. It's critical to find a solid support system in this sport. I've yet to meet someone who can successfully go it alone. March here we come!!
