I wasn’t going to workout today.
I was feeling a bit sluggish due to PMS. I’ve had cramps for several days and I’ve been extremely bloated. The last thing I wanted to do was workout.
But then I thought I’d really rather deadlift today before my period starts. Besides that, it’s my scheduled day to do it and I am consistent.
The workout started okay and by the end I was feeling pretty confident. When I started deadlifting I immediately decided that today was the day. I was going to try again and refused to fail.
My last deadlift PR was November 14, 2020 when I hit 325lbs the first time. Since then I’ve been trying to do this. One setback after another has ensued and here we are, 294 days later and finally I did it!
I’m probably more proud of this because it took so long. And three weeks ago today I was laid out sick on the couch.
There’s something about the comeback!
