First Star

On New Year's Eve, Issa lead us all in making BINGO boards for the year:

We put goals, dreams, and aspirations for the year on it. It was fun to create these, and it's nice to have it hanging as a reminder of what I want to be and do in 2025.

Yesterday, I got to put my first star on my board! I have been diligently lifting since right after Christmas. When I started, six reps of many of the exercises tapped me out. Yesterday, I brought the last exercise to reps of 8 in each set! I know for a lot of lifters that doesn't seem like much, but in December if felt daunting. I'm getting stronger, and that's worth celebrating.
