    Happy Friday the 13th Team!!

    I'd like to talk a little bit about goals today. I'd like to share with you a goal of mine. Some of you may know what Olympic Weightlifting is and what the movements are specific to that sport. I have been training to compete in that sport for about 7 months now. For the first 6 months, I really pushed myself to gain muscle so I could lift more. I was pretty sure I had achieved that goal and gained muscle because the stubborn scale wouldn't move, but towards the end of that 6 months, I was struggling because I was facing a lot of fatigue, the weights were heavier than I've ever lifted and I decided to make a change and focus on getting my weight down, because ultimately, to be competitive, I need to be a lot closer to 140. To make a long story short, I have had a goal of 125 lbs for my Clean and Jerk and I couldn't make it past 115 lbs. Today, I hit that goal. I can't believe it. And today of all days, it wasn't even on my to-do list today.
    Just wanted to share, because if you set a goal, you can achieve it. It may take longer than you want it to, but if you want it and work hard enough, you WILL get there.
