Update since March 22' - powerlifting meet results

-

Hello, all who find the time to stop by and read. I've been busy (kinda) and thought i'd give an update - it's been a while since i wrote..


My gym friend B, from my last post, convinced me to sign up for a powerlifting meet; it's coming up in December. So for the past 4 months, i've been training with a coach/friend and i've been really enjoying it. I think i will be able to get some pretty big numbers for my very first meet so i am excited.

Umm.. i am still on anxiety meds and i feel like they are helping. As of recently, i've ironically grown more comfortable with being at home. In fact, i look forward to jumping back in bed after work LOL. It sounds like a deep rooted problem or something.. but honestly i don't think it is. I think i've adjusted to remote working and i thoroughly enjoy sitting in my house, something i own


..i'll come back to this..


*Update, May 18th - wayyyyyyy past my meet lol

I won my weight-class for my age (i was the only one in it LMAO) 

~squat attempts all passed, with my top attempt being 314lbs. i had never squatted anything close to 300 before, so to squat 303 then 314 that day? chef's kiss

~bench attempts all passed, with top bench being 181lbs - welcome to the gun show, baby.

~deadlift attempts all passed so well that i was allowed a 4th attempt; my 3rd deadlift was for 341lbs to beat the current state record, at which i then beat again in my 4th attempt for 347.5 lbs :)

so i left with a deadlift state record, and a totals state record, for totaling like 800 some pounds for the day (i forget the exact number of top my head)


you can do anything you put your mind to! 🏆

Signed, Exhausted

I thought i'd dive back into ADHD for a bit. I mean, that's why i started this blog in the first place, right? Lately it's been weighing heavily on me - weighing me down, actually. So much that i started researching ADHD again, and affects of it. Lately i have just felt so exhausted. I am mentally exhausted. It is exhausting waking up every morning and being ME. Every day, i manage to find something to bitch about. Something is out of place in the house. Something was not cleaned properly. Something was knocked over and not picked up. People not thinking the way i think. UGH! I just want to scream some days. I look forward to getting back in bed after work. Not so much like a depressed hermit.. more like i want some alone time, my bed is comfy and cozy, and i can just relax. Sidenote: Relax? What's that mean? The term 'relax' has not been a term present in my vocabulary. Much of my life, neither myself or my body knew what that word even meant, let alone how to ...

2020 - what a time to be alive.. and WELL!

 WOW. i just read what i wrote back in September, and i come back almost a year later. Did you miss me? I kept telling myself i need to get back to blogging; it really helped me cope with internal thoughts and feelings. The daily life of one with ADHD is always a struggle. Let's quickly update you since last September: March 16th, 2020, My boyfriend and i were sitting at a long rectangle table, signing the papers to our NEW HOUSE!!! Yes, we bought a house and i am so excited and proud of us! It's a nice little 3bed, 2bath house with an unfinished basement, and plenty of fun upgrading projects. When the basement is finished, it will be a 4bed, 3bath (well oddly, the 3rd bath is actually finished down there, but that's it). On top of the house, let's go ahead and add the fact that we are in the middle of a PANDEMIC right about now. Yup, good ole COVID-19; the virus that spread from China to all over the globe. The week we signed the papers, the country was slowly shutting...

Busy Brains... REALLY Busy

I recently had a brain scan done. Just when I thought i knew everything there was to know about myself, my eyes were opened much wider. If you've been reading my blog posts, you can probably see that while i know myself and understand how i operate, i still struggle to cope and adjust at times. Often, actually. But this brain scan was the cherry. The word for this experience: validation. Internet research has helped validate some things i'd be curious about, but this brain scan.. THIS RIGHT HERE.. took the cake! Based on the questionnaire, i presented difficulty with 'Regulation of emotional output (anxiety/depression)' and she explained to how ADHD fell into and played a role there. High level description of my experience: they put a mesh cap on your head with a bunch of wires and water-soluble gunk that help read your brain waves. You sit there for 10min, VERY still, with your eyes closed. Then again but with your eyes open. The guy administering my test was sitting b...
