It's been a little while since I've posted but that's because nothing is happening in terms of IVF at the moment and we've been incredibly busy so here's a little update:
This week has been the WPU World Powerlifting Championships - we've been travelling back and forth to Coventry every day along with a few friends and it's been an awesome week. On Tuesday I came second in the u60kg female category and came away with a lovely silver medal. Then on Wednesday it got even better and ALS walked away at the u110kg male WORLD CHAMPION! Very, very proud of him as it's been a busy year, he's had a lot of injuries and training wasn't going too well so he went into the competition expecting very little.
Yesterday and today have been a bit more chilled as we've only been spectating but to be honest, I get so into it that I spend most of my time bouncing around and screaming at people to cheer them on, which is pretty tiring in itself. Not to mention the 4 hour round trip every day!
As you can imagine, my EDS and recent bout of sciatica haven't taken too kindly to the massive amount of driving, the rather heavy lifting and being on my feet a lot so I'm ready to eat plenty, sleep plenty and just generally recover before heading back to work on Monday.
Mentally I'm in a very, very good place though - ready to take some time away from competing to focus on (hopefully) growing a human!!
