It was hard to take because I knew I could do it I just couldn’t execute due to my constant tiredness. I squeezed out a kilo in the snatch but I didn’t make a c&j pr. I got a giant front squat pr which pretty much killed me the rest of the cycle bc I was always so tired. And I’m genuinely proud of their prs and I get as excited for them as I do for myself.Īnd then me. It’s truly amazing how awesome some of my teammates are. I’ve found some friends that I consider family, people who stop what they are doing to watch me take a heavy lift and cheer me on and for whom I’d do the same. Then on top of that I’ve discovered another “not a normal” sport after retiring from rugby and I absolutely love it.

But then work has moved and changed a ton lately so now work life is weird and different. I’m about to get married – not about to but in like 8 months I will. I’m no longer a rugby player, no longer a single girl, and I’m no longer a city dweller. This whole weightlifting obsession taking over my life is really changing me. Sometimes I feel like I’m still a growing teenager. I also sometimes eat the right things and say the right things, etc. There are times I miss and I just don’t really put it out there for everyone to see. So I know that I sometimes hit prs and some people think I hit them all the time.
