New year, new perspective!

Happy new year!

It's been two weeks without a blog post! I can explain! The holidays (for some) were insane! I was working the week of christmas and I also ended up sick like a dog. Poor me! I was throwing up everything! It was great! Sorry for maybe too many details, but hey, it's the truth. Spending christmas in the hospital sucks, I wish it to no one! Then New years came around the corner! Oh good times with friends! The celebration was quite fun! Good times!
And then, Shit happens and spending the new year in the hospital is no fun at all! I wish it to no one!

How about you want to read about my competition... I know I have to talk about it, I didn't want to talk about it the week after, but now I do! The dust fell. I needed to think about what happened and deal with it on my own, without the eyes of the internet.

I scored a total of zero.

Yes, zero.

I dropped my two first snatches and my third attempt was refused by the judges because of an elbow.

Shit happens.

That was it for me. My heart was out of the competition and I didn't want to try my clean and jerks.

I was out. My heart wasn't there anymore.

Lesson learned. Always follow the plan! Always.

So I have done a lot of thinking, I relived every single lift multiple times in my head and I spoke with my coaches. I will never be able to explain exactly what happened that day, but it happened and I need to move forward and go on with my life. And my weightlifting. One competition doesn't define who I am as an athlete. Instead, this failure helped me grow as an athlete, and it might even made me a stronger one.

The coaches have yet to let me down in this process. They have been more then supportive. And they have helped tremendously with my "struggles". They made me realize a lot of things and I am so grateful to be under their wings. They are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I can't thank them enough!

My heart is back on track! I'm here to stay and keep fighting to reach my goals I set myself at the beginning of this adventure.

I took almost 1 week and a half off of lifting. It helped me clear my mind and think of other nice things for a change.  I'm back though. And I'm happy to be back in training and lifting. I missed it! Now my heart is in the right place!

REACT

Remember that word. It's an important one, especially for me.

Anywho,  I made a resolution this year.... To put less pressure on myself. It's working already!

Amazing!

2014: less stress, less pressure, more fun, more heavy weight over my head, more heart!

It's going to be a freeking awesome year. I feel it. REACT!

I hope everyone get's to hit some HUGE PR'S !!!
