WELL! Let me start off with some VERY important news that I never updated you all on. Brian got FIFTH in his body-building show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He hasn't competed in 20 years and he went in & placed in his first competition back!!!!!! He was soooo impressive!!!!! I was so proud of him. And I'm so proud he's my trainer. He's still keeping his blog, throughout his off-season, if any of you want to follow. http://workout-center.blogspot.com. He is going to do another show in the spring, I think. Can't wait :)
I've been pretty torn lately. I get a lot of comments from my relatives that don't live near me or see me often, when I do get to talk to them, for not keeping up on my blog too much anymore. I've been feeling very bad about it. I know you guys like to follow me & know what I'm doing, but, I've been doing SO good mentally since I stopped blogging & knowing my numbers day in & day out. I'm three weeks out today & I haven't asked Brian for a number yet. I just love going in & lifting. Once in a while Brian throws a number out at me if he knows I'll be pleased, or if he needs to make a point with something he's talking about. But, I didn't even ask yesterday. Brian smiled, so, that's enough for me. If he's pleased, I know it's okay & I don't need to worry. I'm hoping my second lift will be 186 this time around. I'm not sure what I'll open with. Somewhere around 165 maybe. And then I'll see how well the second lift happens & go from there.
Anyway, I love you all for all your support. I'm doing GREAT! I love training & I know my accessory work seems to be increasing, so, the bench either is or will be shortly. AND I still have the same trainer :-) Go ahead, high five the person sitting next to you, I'll wait..........haha. That's ENORMOUSLY awesome to me. Over 2 years now! Everything is good. It just goes much better when I actually think about the technical things or just the fact that I like to lift, instead of my numbers. I'll try to get a bit more frequent with posting SOMETHING. Hope you all are doing well!!

- I'm 29 years old. I live in Columbiana, Ohio. I was born with Spina Bifida and have no use of my legs. I began lifting weights June 16th, 2008. I decided to train for Powerlifting November 3rd, 2008. My goal is to win a slot on a U.S. Paralympic Powerlifting Team. My Powerlifting Trainer is Brian Raneri. He's the best there is. I'm so thankful to have him in my corner. I've learned that a goal worth reaching is never easy to attain. You have to work at it and fight for it. But, if you do it for yourself and you never stop fighting, no one can take it away from you.
