So today I wrapped up my first real meet and it was great, I'm exhausted, but I'm pretty proud!

I started really lifting in January, so it hasn't been that long. Combine that with eating in a deficit since August to lose 60lbs+ (so far) along with some medical stuff, and it definitely felt early, but I did the damn thing!

Is 500lbs a lot? To the general powerlifting community maybe not, but to me, it's a starting point!

Breakdown:

Training: Been kind of training myself since January, started working out with other powerlifters at the gym in maybe April. Just doing my best.
Night before: Tried to sleep, didn't.
Morning of: Anxiety and nausea made eating difficult, but I powered through a great breakfast, knowing it might push me into the 100+ category, but I was fine with that. I had been hovering right around 216lbs fully naked before eating every morning, so clothed and with food in me? Totally fine with me if I was above 220. Had to wait what felt like forever in
