Everyday Systems

Hey everybody!

Like a bad penny, or boomerang, or anything else that keeps returning, I'm back.

I have so much to say. For now, here's the cliff notes.

-My newest hobby has been power-lifting. Mostly, dead-lifts.

The good news about being 60 is that it's easy to get DL records. I currently hold the American DL record for my age/weight class. It's fun!

-My DL weight class is 123-132 lbs. Using No S has kept me comfortably in my weight class. The day before an event, you have to officially weigh in. I'm happy to say I haven't had to resort to any crash dieting before the weigh-in. A lot of people have to do so.

-My next DL event is May 5. The big magilla is in July. I've qualified for the National open in Las Vegas. My goal is to weigh 125 lbs and lift 250 lbs. My max lift is 231, I've got work to do to get there.

Vanilla S has been pretty easy. I guess that's why I haven't been around. I feel bad about this. I shouldn't only be here when I need help. I promise to keep my log updated on a regular basis. The good and the bad.

It's good to be back!

Always good to see a long time NoSer back, no matter what the reason. All the best with the lifting.

hi lori, this sound soo cool! I imagine you being a fit and tough cookie.

welcome back ... from one happy returnee to another

Thanks for the welcome backs!


I'm going to spend some time catching up with everybody. But first, I have to figure out why my photo isn't loading!

OK, time to get this blog going..

Working out of town tonight. N days are easy when I'm in a hotel.

I weighed in yesterday at 127.5 lbs. That's in the middle of my Power-lifting division so I'm a happy camper. I know I can maintain this weight if I stick to Vanilla S.

Here's what's coming up..
April 14 Tactical Strength Challenge at my gym.
May 5 Dead-lift competition
June, maybe 9? Another Dead-lift competition. This one is in CA and I can grab the World title for my division! Got to stay on Vanilla S so I don't eat myself out of my weight class.

Keep on truckin' my No S pals!

Uh oh.
Looks like spam has invaded my blog.
I don't know how to delete it.
Maybe I'll start a new one.

It happened to a bunch of ours. It’s been reported. Don’t worry about it too much.
