Just simple

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, just that I was pretty busy. I actually didn't train for a while either so I just had a bunch of sleepovers and stuff. I don't really need to blog,:/ so I will just say I had a great week. So now I'm in Greensboro with my grandma and aunt. We went to the zoo and my favorite pizza place, mellow mushroom! Yummmm.... I just had something simple, pepperoni pizza. So the zoo was fun, and there was a aquarium too. It was pretty cool. My favorite was the river otters or the tiger.:)

 Well, nothing else to say so, blog you next week! 

National Champion

     

        So here I am on the podium standing proud being the winner of the age group of 11 and under. Okay, sorry I haven't talked in a while it's just that I was in Missouri and Kansas pus all day on a plane. I just needed to tell you that cause I couldn't wait to say it and oh Happy 4th of July! Now let's get into detail, well I woke up at like 4 in the morning! Cause I had to go to the airport so I could go to nationals of course. So we're waiting and waiting gone though security and the " check your baggage" thing and everything. So still waiting while I'm listening to my music, then I see chris walking by. He is on the same flight as me and my mom. How nice of him... he sits next to me and we all wait and wait and eat Nathans hot dogs.  Then we finally get called to go on the plane. So I'm on the plane next to my mom and close to Chris sort of but whatever. 

          2 hours later.......

Off the plane and my phone is almost dead worried that I can't play it for the next flight from Atlanta to Missouri, but at least I got my iPad yay! Ok so we get on the next flight to Missouri and another 2 hours later cause the time changed we got off. So now for the fun part, I get to see my so called couisen Caiyln for a week and she also gets to watch me compete. So a short drive to the hotel and ready to go to sleep from the long day we all had.

     
   I woke up at five and I was ready to go to compete, well sort of I was tired just a little but I woke up after a while. My mom let me have coffee. We were a little early so we went to Starbucks yum... Now we're there pumped up I had to weigh in and I was so close to being in a different weight class 34.8 kg that was a close one. I had to roll out my back so I could be stretched out and I kept warming up. So I was being introduced and it kinda seemed like I was the only one who was being happy and silly but whatever I'm very special heehee.;) I have fun being a weightlifter.

   Now Its competition time, so I'm like last cause I'm close to the 39k weight class. For my opener, pretty simple and I rocked it. Well I think I did. It was 22k that was fun. Now I'm waiting for my next turn it was 24k. But now it gets exciting my match P.R. Yay!!! 26k fun! Okay, for clean and jerk was even better!!!! My opener was 28 then 32 but then I went head to head with a older 13 year old girl. I had to make a P.R. SO I WENT FOR IT! 

I made a huge PR!!!!! I still missed beating her by one kilo But for 11 and under I did WIN!!! So I got a silver medal and gold medal!!!!!!! Back stage was pretty intense for me Chris was getting on my nerves sometimes like coaches do, people nagging, weights rattling and stuff.  But during competition me and Chris were a great team like always!!!

 He's the best!!

But at the end I was sad I didn't win  the whole thing for 13 and under and I came in second. Then they told me I won 11 and under!!!! I even got a T Shirt! After that I went to my " couisens" house and even rode a bull and went surfing.

We just got home last night. So Happy 4 of July and have a nice week blog at you next week.;) 

Unique week

Well last weeks was great!!!!! I love the things I did. Ok, so let me think..... Monday! I had a competition day at weightlifting for nationals. I wasn't that good but that is fine. Well I actually think I didn't get any P.R.s last week but whatever. I did a lot of swimming cause I can't do fun stuff till Friday ( nationals) because I can't get hurt or tired . But wait there's more...... I have to wake up early. Whoop whoop. I have to cause I need to get use to waking up early cause I weigh in at 7:00 AM!!! Waking up early is my worse nightmare. Grrrrrrrr...... So Tuesday was my day off! I love days off! Well sometimes, I get bored easily. Now for Wednesday, I had a sleepover with one of my friends Katie so no training. Wait no, before I got My friend, I had training with coach C. It felt like practice was forever!!! But it was only a hour practice. Haha. Ok my favorite day of the week...... I WENT TO WALDO'S BEACH!!!!!! I love that place I went on a rope swing and the blob it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Then I ate like crap for the rest of the day. Oh well who cares. I don't. So Friday, I had weightlifting in the MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot what I did so let's skip to Saturday. SATURDAY WAS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!! Well and good. But still, so I went to volleyball camp that was fine but then my friend wanted to go home from my house. Sad face.:( then my dad made it up to me and let me go to the movies! I watched mosters university it was good but I did go with my friend Ashley and we went to the arcade part after the movie and Ashley had 20 dollars in quarters cause we give the change thingy a 20$ bill! So then we did photo booth my first time I did it!!!!!! Now today oh my, i did so good at practice now i know my openers for nationals yay. i cant wait!!!!!!So there you have it my whole week but remember I am typing this while my hair dye is drying. Of course for nationals oh yes.;)

Talk to you on Thursday before my USAW Youth National weightlifting competition bye.

Introducing Me!

     Hi, I'm Emma and let me tell you a little bit about myself. Well, my favorite color is any neon color except yellow, my favorite animal has to be a panda, favorite food hmmm.... that is a tough one, but it could be Italian but my mom makes me eat paleo. Okay, you know some of the basics, so lets get to the exciting stuff!!! The sport I do is weightlifting and my awesome coach, Chris Bullard  trains me to do my best. My P.R.s ( personal record) for weightlifting for now  is..... clean & jerk:35 kg and snatch:26 kg. when I was like 7 or 8yrs. old I started to practice with Chris and then my P.R.s were clean & jerk: 18kg and snatch: 11kg. So i improved a lot with this sport, I was doing weightlifting in a crossfit gym, and that didn't help me succeed with this.  Coach C did.

   
    So now you know stuff about me, so this is what I did this week, okay here we go, I really don't have anything to say but for Father's Day we went to Lake In The Pines, a big lake with a tall diving board that I jumped off like a million times but whatever, it was awesome!!!

Hey, you like my swim suit?;) ITS BRAND NEW THANK YOU VERY MUCH:)
       

   So back to training, I've been doing 100 crunches a day and sprints. Got to get ready for nationals somehow. I can't wait to see my best friend, Caiyln who now lives in freak'n Kansas because her dad is in the army.  Yay:) Nationals is in Missouri. I lifted a couple times last week but not as much as usual.  My mom was at her competition and then my dad and her went on vacation.   Nationals is in 2 weeks!!!  Wish me luck on my competition even though its in two weeks, its just nice to hear.:)  I'm pandalover48 on Instagram, check it out :)Thank you. Blog at you next week!;)
