![]() This is why I took time off👀 Do you feel me on this? Taking time off & having thoughts swirl in your head like, What if...
Then you fight through those thoughts & are met with comments from others
I can’t even begin to tell you the doubt I got from people when they saw me commit to my health AND gaining muscle I stopped cardio, upped calories to an average of 2500-3000 per day, & took more time to rest when needed I didn’t do a slow reverse like before & I was laser focused on getting my period back since it was my golden ticket to get the “ok” to prep again from my coach & myself My actions for getting health back led to fat gain that most in the industry would label as “excessive” & yet it helped me achieve what I needed to for MY BODY I also still worked my ass off in the gym at least 5x a week hitting the weights HARD & with a LOT of focus on every contraction I made the most of my off-season & now I am here looking at this check in 6 weeks out like “HOLY CRAP IS THAT ME!!?” I have also done what the judges asked me to do & the division clearly requires now which was, build more muscle We are focusing in on the conditioning now & the approach this prep has been a lil different I’m not battling thoughts of not being ready as much since I’m not in a rush & trusting my body will respond to the demands me & my coach place on her I also see my photos & can better detach from the weight, though that’s been an interesting mental shift for me given I’m so much heavier now than any other preps But I keep reminding myself I will get where I need to be based on my PHYSIQUE therefore the scale shouldn’t matter in reference to “past” stage weights as much as we’ve been conditioned to focus on that The whole goal was to be bigger n better so I think it is a good thing my weight is up! This sport is not just a longterm game but it’s a mental one I feel my success on & off prep has come from my mindset which is primed for growth & rooted in self love I ❤️ helping other competitors develop that winners mentality & make peace with food, their body, & their goals so they can Build More than Just a Body with the most successful & fulfilling preps and improvement seasons Click HERE to learn about the On demand mindset coaching platform I made to help competitors address & overcome the problems they face the most See you in there!👀🤩
