I competed in a competition at my gym a few weeks ago and just want to share here because someday I’ll want to remember I could do this stuff! Our team came in 5th place and we were pretty proud! This was my second recent competition and in the one 2 months ago I clean and jerked 150 pounds which I was super proud of!
The competitions are so hard and I always wonder why in the world I’m doing them when I’m in the middle of it – but then I’m always glad I did it when it’s over.
Samantha has been spending some time in the gym lately too – at gymnastics!! She’s been to two classes now and LOVES it! She went to her first class last week and she was so cute in her leotard and “gymnastics hair” that I just about died! It took some convincing to let me put her hair in a ponytail but she finally agreed.
Susan took her and sent me this hilarious pic of Samantha with her teacher before they started…
ha! She was a little unsure but Ms. Robin ended up being great. Susan sent me so many cute videos. She got to flip around, swing from the rings, jump on the trampoline, and run around!
She went for her second time on Wednesday and was even MORE excited since she knew what to expect!
She also let me put her hair in “two ponytails” which basically made my year.
A little pig-tailed girl in a leotard doing gymnastics is basically what I’ve dreamed of my entire life! 💗
She had just as much fun the second time and got to jump in the foam pit, go down the mat slide, get in some floor work, work the obstacle course, and more flipping around!
Here’s to strong girls – young and old! 💪🏻
