I recently discovered that I had a food processor this WHOLE time and didn’t even know it…so you bet I’ve been making every purée recipe I have saved.

It might not be campfire season anymore but that is no excuse to stop the s’mores themed snacking.

Totally unrelated to the picture but another nutritional component I focused on during my weightlifting “cut” was hydration. The weeks leading up to the competition, I drank 70-80 ounces of water everyday. The beginning of meet week, I drank 100-115 ounces - aka I PEED A LOT. The day before the competition I cut that amount in half. Since my body adjusted to the large water intake I kept peeing so that helped me reduce my water weight without dehydrating myself.

Safe to say that I survived a successful “weight cut” in college. By “weight cut” I mean more of weight maintenance because I normally train at my weight class anyways. However, at a national competition I would prefer not taking the risk of not making weight. . . . I track macros most days to get a general idea of my intake. However, living in a dorm and eating at a dinning hall requires a lot of flexibility and guesstimations. . . . Leading up to the competition, I made small changes to my intake to ensure I made weight without sacrificing my performance. One of the easiest swaps I made was ordering egg whites instead of full eggs.

My mom wanted to spend some time together on Saturday before I headed back to school. Her idea of quality time: grocery shopping. I’m not complaining though. We picked up some California rolls for me to try and I loved them - this might be the baby step for me in liking avocados.

I guess you can say I’ve been deprived of salmon while away at school because on my first day home I had it twice.

I opened a little conservative on clean and jerks and felt really good about each attempt. On my third attempt I was a little frazzled after a mix up in the warm up area. I rushed the pull so the bar was a bit too far in front of me when I racked it. First attempt - 61kg Second attempt - 63kg Third attempt - 65kg (miss) #bliftsweightlifting

Not exactly how I wanted my snatches to turn out. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Warm ups felt pretty snappy but when it came time to step on the platform, I let the bar swing too far in front on me. First attempt - 51kg Second attempt - 54kg (miss) Third attempt - 55kg (miss) #bliftsweightlifting
