Warning: Weights are closer than they appear.
I had my first weight related injury. Pretty good since I’ve been lifting for awhile now that nothing has gone wrong. I was doing decline bench presses and hooked the weight on the right. I guess I just assumed that the other side was there too, so I let go and started to sit up. Well, the barbell met my mouth. I think I had my eyes closed for that second too because I didn’t even see it coming. So, I spent yesterday with a fat lip and now it is bruised underneath and feels just great rubbing across my braces. Thankfully we have a field trip (to BodyWorlds 3) so I won’t have to do much talking.
Also, thank you for all the supportive messages related to my latest pics. After the week I had it was really nice to hear. I’m now back to normal and rolling again. 7 weeks to go.
I was thinking yesterday, at some point I’m not going to compete and will have to learn to live real life. But, I’ll think about that another day.

do not even think about not competing. I mean, did you not see those pics below? You were made to compete girl and you are gonna do great. 7 weeks is nothing for you.
Did you get my email on tracker?

OW! I’m glad you weren’t injured worse. Be careful out there.
