KARRIE! Beating you to you journal entry ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) GREAT to see you and Terry again today. You looked good. Don't sweat those lifts girl! You will do just fine at the meet. Remember Greg said NO red lights is the goal, all the rest is small stuff! WE will be there to cheer you on! Get over the idea of WHAT is on the bar. It's just a mental thing, as you proved to yourself when we slipped on that extra 10 pounds ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Get ready...you will do GREAT! TERRY: Keep on that diet brother! You look good too ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) We'll have to talk more! See ya soon! Frank, I just sent Bernie an email thanking her and I wanna thank you too for helping me "mentally" this sat. Sat was my hardest wo to date, mentally. I was REALLY struggling and then irritated with myself and that started a VICIOUS mental cycle..AHH!!! LOL! I just need to NOT EVEN LOOK AT THAT STINKIN' BAR!!!! I did the last set the best, felt the best, and it was the heaviest...215, I think it is what I pulled. So I CAN lift the weight!! Terry and I had a great talk on the way home and he really helped me set things in perspective and he REALLY LISTENED to my thoughts and that helped me too with the mental stuff. ;D THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

Yes, I am STILL determined and that determination has got me to my first meet in three weeks! #woohoo8ad# Alexa has started all day kindergarten, and Dylan LOVES having me all to himself on Tuesday's. Missed you too! I have popped onto Eric's site a bit to see what you were up to and your wedding pics turned out beautiful. just too busy to post here and then over there. Are you guys still do renovations to the house? WOW!!! 3 WEEKS!! How exciting!!! What exactly do you do? It is hard to post on 2 sites regularly.. I hear ya. We are currently hiring people to do our bathroom and we are meeting with an architect Monday to start drawing up the plans for our extension. ;D ;D ;D ;D Basically, at a powerlitfing meet, you do three lifts: Squat, bench and deadlift. You have 3 attempts with each llift. You add weight with each attempt and the highest amount of weight lifted with a three lifts is added together for a total amount lifted and whoever has the highest total in each weight class wins. What type of extension are you putting on to the house?

Karrie! Our pleasure! We worked with Greg Friday night, and came in on Saturday just to cheer you and Stephanie on!!! You did Great! And yes...it WAS 215! (WE slipped two extra plates on when you weren't looking ;D ) You will be just fine. Greg and I were going one-on-one a few weeks ago. He would lift, I would lift. He put up 585 on a deadlift (Like it was a toy!), and then I walked up to the bar. He asked me, "Can you lift that?" I looked at him, and then at the bar, and told him, "WEll, in a second we're gonna find out!" "It either comes up, or it doesn't!" (Yes it DID, by the way! ;D ) Point is, you don't know until you try, and you will surprise yourself at how much you can actually do. Forget about what's ON the bar. Just tell yourself that whatever is on there.you WILL lift! I have to make sure I put new batteries in my camera so we can take pictures of ya'll with your trophies! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Last night: We continue t back off on the weight.
Squats 5x5 for 90lbs. Went well, focused on form as Sat my form was off. Then did bi's tri's shoulders and abs.
Should be getting my singlet soon and my belt is starting break in. Still hard to get on and off at times but that is getting better.

Karrie!
Relax girl! You are doing fine.
YOU do not have to worry about a thing...except lifting that bar! AND YOU CAN DO THAT WITH YOUR EYES SHUT!
We will all be there to take care of the small stuff, so don't worry. Remember what Greg (Da' Man) told you Today: "We are a TEAM. We will all be there to help each other out, so relax!"
So if, you won't listen to yourself, your husband, Bernie and I...you gotta listen to....."Da Man-----RELAX!"
This will be fun. 9 good lifts. 9 white lights......
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!
