I’m Sara 😉 Here’s the bullet points:

1. Started powerlifting in February 2017
2. Totaled 800 lbs in my first meet, 900lbs a year later, and hoping for 1000lbs in a few months
3. My nutrition is crap and I’m heavier than necessary @ 180lbs
4. Ran the Bridge earlier this year with poor compliance, trying again because the gains were goooood
5. I’m obsessed with my dog, love all things Arkansas, applying for grad school, and am Director of a local private school

**Week One Summary:** Red lining all the times I don’t follow the program because I don’t follow instructions well.  
Also, I’m logging in the spreadsheet from [azeemqwerty](https://forum.barbellmedicine.com/member/837-azeemqwerty) and It’s awesome. It’s really helping me see how RPE can be a good thing…  
Also, Happy Thanksgiving!
