Taking Pride in My Progress while Looking Ahead to New Goals

Meeting with the head judge, Sandy Williamson, who I’ve been dreaming of meeting & getting in front of was the main goal of doing the national show.

Get feedback then build on it.

I didn’t expect anything but to see how we did at a national Level.

In 2018 when I first qualified we knew I wasn’t prepared to hit a national stage so I took time off to build.

I built to just GET ON that stage & feel I could!

Now we really have to build muscle to be competitive at that level.

I plan on creating a new body fat set point & pushing myself to new limits in the gym with strength goals & even more effort w/ progressive overload.

As mentioned in a previous post I always set new goals & intentions for an improvement season to set myself up for success!

I was told by Sandy I need to GROW & she told me to take lots of time because I look young up there (since I am) & since I’m a natural athlete patience is really the name of the game but the good thing is this really is my lifestyle & if 2020 has proven anything to me it’s that I can adapt & overcome as well as sustain & progress.

I have no doubt this will be my most productive off season yet as far as optimizing muscle building, health, & better start point.

I am proud of the package I brought & how far I’ve come but also recognize necessary improvement areas.

I need more delts & fuller glutes which is pretty standard in bikini & considering my structure is “great & perfect” according to feedback it’s really something I can work with with time.

I also want to see the stage shots I bought than what I have currently because I didn’t practice posing with my arm so far out from body but when I see the photos it was so.

I’m already working on honing in the details bc they matter even if poised & in flow.

I’m also going to talk more about the mental processing I’ve been doing since the show along with my views on body image, food, mentality, the lessons I’m applying, the inner work I’m doing etc.

Right now you can submit questions for this video on my story or even via DM & I’ll be sure to address how I’m dealing with certain things or answer questions!
