A few more powerlifting post from this weekend and then I swear the next two weeks will probably be all #foodporn & 🐶 only post. 😋. I ended up finishing with 198|121|246 finish. My 2nd attempts on squats and bench misses were all in my head. So this meet was really great practice for mental toughness for me. It happens, we can all be our own worse enemies. Deadlifts which are usually my money 💰 maker lift I missed my 3rd attempt at 265lbs. But I know that wasn't a strength thing or mental thing that was why didn't I eat a pizza 🍕 while I waited. I ran out of gas! I even got light headed 😆. Overall I am so happy with this and improved about 41lbs more from my last meet. I also know I am stronger than this from what I have done in training it just didn't happen yesterday. But we learn and then we grow. I've also been struggling a lot harder the last few weeks with my autoimmune issues which sometimes likes to team up with my epilepsy as well. So between this week and next I have several doctors appointments to get through but also looking forward to resetting mentally and physically. My weight has been stalled no matter what I do and that usually is a great indication to me along with some subtle hints my body is giving me that I'm having issues. (Ok not subtle ....cramping ha ha ). But to me it's just the cards I've been given and you just deal. My fitness pal will be taking a break for about two weeks but yes I'll be back training in that time with my eyes set for another July meet. But again so grateful to @coachlukeepropst & @fitbliss_annie for always always keeping my health as the number one priority before anything else. I've learned so much from these two and continue to grow physically and mentally into a better athlete. Can't say enough about them except that I am very #blessedwiththebest 🙏🏽😇. #predatorstrengthtraining #teamfitbliss #athletesvsepilepsy #autoimmunedisease #epilepsyawareness #powerlifting #uspa #uspapower #camppendletonopen #ladyleathernecks #devildogforlife 🇺🇸 -side note: I love this photo because all these spotters must have ninja powers. Ha ha I didn't even notice they were there during the lifts. 😂 (at 21 Area Fitness Center, Camp Pendleton, CA)
