I've been really busy with life lately. That's a good thing! I've been working on the last few classes for my Dietetics degree, deadline to apply for graduate school and internships was April 15th, and I've been working full time in addition to trying to train in the gym. The biggest news of all: Chet proposed to me on our 1 year anniversary Feb 28th! He has seen me at my weakest, hasn't seen me at my strongest (yet), and loves me as I am enough to want to spend the rest of his life with me. So I'm the happiest and busiest girl in the world right now! And it's become so evident to me how God is the power keeping me going, rebuilding me, making me stronger, faster, more flexible again, all the while holding me together stronger than duct tape to keep all these irons in the fire HOT! I sure as hell couldn't do it on my own will power. No way.
On January 20th I did 8 pull-ups. So I wanted my 10 again. On my birthday Feb 11th I set out to do those 10 pull-ups like I used to when I was 100%. Now over a month later, I realize that not only did I accomplish getting back those 10 pull-ups, but I did it weighing 15 pounds more than I usually weighed previously. I'm starting to think I'm actually STRONGER than I was before. Just wait until you see what I'm benching these days....more than I did a couple years ago!
