I had written " it'll (probably) be all ok..." , and then the following, with the 'probably' being because I am not registered, but hope to be. And then I figured, well, it's ok either way, isn't it? I do really want this, but it's not life or death. :)
So.... Let's start over! it'll ALL BE OK. So, regarding my last post, and me missing registration for the August PL meet... we think I can be ready by July, so I'll sign up for the July 9th one. Registration is not open until May (so I can't really say I have "checked that box" yet", and you know how I feel about loose ends....) so I can't say I AM signed up. But I WILL. I WILL! And it will all work out. And I will make weight. And I will lift whatever I can, which may or may not be 500.5# by then. :)

I waited to long to sign up for the meet in August. It's full. I feel gutted (which is a pretty extreme reaction. But I guess a good sign, as had I felt relieved I'd question my motivation...)
I have asked Jerimiah for advice; if I can make a July event in terms of readiness. I am not worried about some big number; just want to be able to hit my best numbers or close to them for the day. Right now, I am not regularly doing anything near my 1RM, so that'll take a bit. And I need to lose more weight to get into the 63kg class, which I think is somewhere around my sweet-spot for day-to-day comfort in my own skin. Based on my current trajectory, I can be there by July(ish) IF IF IF IF I am a bit more disciplined when I travel (that's those up-ticks.) Before, during and after.... 5 X 135# (3 sets). Hardly a big number, I know, BUT... the most I have ever moved without a spotter! I am trying to get more comfy under the bar. I was AOK. So I will try to keep increasing my 'solo' weight in the same increments at my weights with Jerimiah.... so they won't ever be the same, but as long as I move with JW, I also move alone.
Calendar from LIFTIUM. Love this little app! 2 weeks of mostly white space owing to a back spasm...but back at it now. Exceptionally low weight, but hopefully can get to 135# squat in a week and then fight for the next 20# back. It's hard to lose traction as I fall SO far back. :( But I gave a lot of fight in me ...or at least am developing it, so it's not a rush. Perhaps compassion, to myself, is just another version of restraint to learn. KH is making me think. And like web-surfing, it starts with a brain-ramble about a narrow topic, and eventually burgeons into something that's like "How did I get here, exactly?"
Anyway, I was thinking about targets, and limits. I set some targets that I think are the upper limit of my potential. But I don't really know what my limits are until I hit them. But then how can you set a target? I don't want to limit to short term thinking only, and don't want to set the bar low. But I don't want to set goals I will consistently miss, or are unattainable. I like small wins. Anyway, .... it does not really matter that much (.... and yet here I am diary-ing about it), but I DO like to think. I don't know if I like that I like to think....(brain ramble, here we come...) Body weight 135#
Lean Body Mass 101# Wilks Score 250 Push ups set of 50 J might leave. Even more worrisome; he might not take me with him. :( That sucks. Cause:
New targets for 2016! (by end of June, actually...)
