2 Weeks Out & Embracing the Prep Feels with Gratitude

2 weeks out from my next show!🥳🤩

Little prep update for today! If you watched my stories then you’d see how I’ve been feeling hungrier, more tired, and definitely noticing a shift in energy

But I don’t complain about this, drag my feet, or feel sorry for myself

I am honestly CELEBRATING these feelings

It feels good to be experiencing changes in hunger and energy because of changes to the plan

It allows me to say THANK YOU to my body for continuing to support me in giving my all to every cardio, lifting, and posing session despite running on lower fuel!

I am finally so close to a show that changes are happening daily and it hasn’t been cancelled or postponed—we weren’t making it past the 4-5 week out mark without changes so this is REALLY exciting

After all these months, I’m grateful to know I am really going to get the chance to bring my absolute best!

I took a lot of time off to recover, build muscle, stabilize health, and have a slow prep

I am so thankful to have my body support me in pursuing these dreams and allowing me to see what I’m capable of

I feel so much mental peace knowing I am executing and have done everything this prep necessary for it to be my personal best one yet on every level and the results have spoken for themselves—on every level again

I have never seen my body like this outside of my visualizations that i brought with me every day to the gym while in a building phase and of course through prep and now at home for months now which is very empowering to see her come to life

When I feel the prep feels, I CELEBRATE because it has been so long since I truly got to get this close to the stage and FEEL them

They remind me what a powerful communicator and supporter my body is for me which only pushes me to be even better and go even further!

Complaining about prep doesn’t and never will make sense to me. I love this lifestyle, the sport, the challenges, the triumphs

It truly is incredible as it consistently requires me to be on top of my mental game and give everything even when all the brain and body wants to do is preserve

AGAIN, I AM GRATEFUL!
