Why I am Not Ready to Prep Again Even Though My Mind is in Such a Great Place

To say I miss this would be an understatement but to say I’m ready for it would be a lie

Prep is a full-time commitment and although it is not extremely different from my ‘normal’ day to day life, it’s just a different level of investment

I don’t take prep lightly and I feel this mentality is harmful for some but helpful for me

By seeing prep as a serious commitment, I then feel personally More responsible to take it more seriously

Which is probably why I am able to be 110% in and have never struggled to follow the plan perfectly

Why then am I not ready to recommit to a prep?

Well it’s crazy because mentally, in regard to food and my body I’m in one of the best places I’ve ever been

Really the perfect place to start a prep from given it would be out of pure love and passion for the sport and my goals not for the physique changes

But my body is not in a place to prep again YET!

I also am soooo happy bc this year my family is taking some trips together and it’s been so long since we have done that so I feel super blessed and grateful for what’s to come

While I can prep when traveling, it’s not my fav thing to do. I prefer to be a hamster in a wheel on prep. I don’t want any new variables comin in. Blinders on

I made a post to update more on what’s goin on right now and what my goals are that I’ll share tomorrow.

Honestly though, people who love the stage but can’t get off it won’t win like the people who love the stage yet know when it’s time to walk off for a bit and make positive changes

I have full belief that my time will come again and I believe even stronger that my body will support me along the way

I believe that my best is yet to come and is coming because of what I’ve been through and where I’m at now

I see every aspect of this as a gift & a choice

There’s a picture I took after my show in 2017 that I snapped to some of my Snapchat bffs & it included “I feel like myself again”

This sport didn’t cause my problems, it just revealed the problems that I already had and those that I am capable of solving
​
What’s something this sport or a passion has taught you? I’d love to hear
