I was right last week when I posted that I felt a deadlift PR coming on. I managed to pull 200 LB's (pronounced just like that: Ell-Bees), shattering my old PR by TWENTY-FIVE pounds. That's insane. I went in thinking that I'd be happy if I just picked up 180. Well, 185 came up. Then 195. Then 200. Yeah...that was a pretty good feeling. I'm trying to really work on strength for the upcoming Heart of America competition in November. My team is comprised of some of my favorite people at CrossFit. I love them. We're gonna have a good time. This year the competition is gonna be at CrossFit Valley Park in STL. So a little road trip will also add to the fun. The fun. And the pain. And the blood, sweat, and tears. I'm sure there will be lots of all of that.
Moving on. August almost makes me think of new beginnings. I suppose it's because for 22 years of my life, it always meant a new school year. After college, I felt a little lost when there was nothing to look forward to. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited about a new schedule, a new group of people, and pretty much a whole new life. I'm still not entirely sure that this is IT, in terms of my dream career, but I do think it's what I'm supposed to be doing now, at least while I figure out what IT is. Things change, I've learned that much in my 25 years.
Pistachio pudding. I'll end with that. I call it my green pudding treat. Really I do.
Green pudding treat.
Bye.
Pistachio pudding is definitely the oft-neglected step child of the pudding world. But, like Cinderella, it is the best child... unlike Cinderella, it is green... unless we are talking Alien Cinderella, which sounds like a Disney Channel Movie to me!
ReplyDeleteAmber, come to my house, I will feed you lemon bars. Also, Other Duff should definitely be our star. It's only fitting as Hilary was the star of "A Cinderella Story" that Not-Hilary Duff be once again in the shadow of her sister in our Alien Cinderella... only AC will be so successful that Wishes-She-Was-Famous Duff will actually become a star for more than trying to soak up some of her sister's limelight.
