This is my first post but I've been lurking around here for about a year or so.

I have a journal over at br.com, so some might recognize me from there, but there seems to be more olympic weightlifters here.

So...a short intro, I'm female, 30, and have been olympic lifting for a year. I lift at a club gym in northern Alberta and compete. I lift in the 48s (I'm only 5'2"). My last competition was August 23 and my results were:

snatch: 38
c&j: 52*
total: 90, which was a 12 kilo increase from the previous competition in March
sinclair: 135.5990

*Alberta record for clean and jerk in the 48s.

My next competition will be in December, and my goal for that one is to put 7 kilos on my total so that I move up a class (elite, 1, 2, 3, 4--currently I'm a 3) and also get funding for travel.

I have a lot to work on...as the videos above show. I started a new program last week and so far it's been pretty rough going. I tweaked my right shoulder on Monday and train again tonight, so we'll see how things go.

RE: cardio, I do a lot of [dog] walking and attempt to run on occassion. I have a 10 K mountain run coming up on September 27 that I haven't trained for. I've done this run for the past few years though, so I know what to expect and I won't be breaking any records.

This summer I also did a few sessions of Lyle's SFP 1.0. I'm thinking of cancelling my commercial gym contract though, so not sure I'll be doing any of that anymore.

RE: Diet, I don't measure or count. I watch my weight carefully because I always have to make weight for competitions and I use a measuring tape for progress/status. I eat mostly protein and veggies and fat and junk. So most of my carbs come from chocolate.
