HELLO THERE PARTY PEOPLES!
Or non-party peoples. I'm more of a Netflix & snacks with copious blankets and tea on a Friday night kinda gal. But party peoples -- you have all of my respect ;)
What's been going on? Anything new and exciting in your life?
My work schedule has picked up right where it left off - chaos! And things have really been ramping up at the gym as I embark on a new training endeavor of learning the Olympic lifts!
YES.
OLY LIFTS!
How exciting is that?! To me? VERY! I have been strength training more seriously this past year and it has taught me so much. It has been an outlet, a frustrating experience and a rewarding experience. I made strides I did not think I would be able to and it's provided me with such relief and support to my mental health.
I cannot WEIGHT to call myself a legit weightlifter ;)
So I hope I can meet this new challenge with some enthusiasm! Here is some footage of my day 2 experience learning the Clean & Jerk (I did the snatch day 1!):
Crossfit Outlaw North is AMAZING! If you live in the Hamilton area you need to check them out.
Here is the progress of my snatch (yikes) so far -- if the video doesn't load you can see it here

Now let's see....what's the opposite of CrossFit and weightlifting....
CAKEEEE!
So there has been a LOT of caking in my life. I am sure this post will be a testament to that. Also feel free to creep me on Instagram and see my cakin' life as it happens.
