New Perspectives Through Challenges

This past improvement season has brought me many challenges but has also supported me in having new perspectives.

It’s been a mix of blessings as well as a difficult changes (which in itself are blessings right?)

I find myself asking more questions of myself and of life which I tend to throw at robbie often👀🙈 lucky him!😆

I have a lot of internal work that has been presented as a priority for me since losing my mom and it’s led me to contemplating the depths of life and all I feel and experience on a different level.

As far as prep and competing, I often wonder if my body will respond, if I’ll even step on stage next year (truthfully I am at peace with not stepping on stage for as long as I need to grow & have health & bring something better and make sure I have peace with my life too).

But the goal is to compete next spring or summer. So I’m still capitalizing on building😍

What’s interesting though is I can’t imagine a prep being much different than this, Which feels great.

I lift 6x a week, do my cardio, check in with the best & most supportive coach I’ve been blessed with @joediscuillo @teamedge1 and eat my meals which are pretty much the same as prep with the exception of more macro swaps in improvement season and posing between sets or post workout.

Joe gave me the reminder today that I’m right where I need to be & everything will work out!

I have no idea what’s next for me other than really just continuing to do this and set goals as we go.

I’ve been honest with my coach about how I’m feeling about where I’m at and competing and I’m grateful to have his support along with the support of my @ingridromero1 who I miss and can’t wait to see again and especially can’t wait to have lots of fun at shows together!!🥰👸🏻💃🏻👯‍♀️

I guess what I’m feeling is despite my mind sometimes playing ping pong more loudly than I’d like, I feel strong in my support system, my lifestyle, my business, the podcast, and my other passions.
