Just wrapped up Week 12 of prep. Met with Luke this past Saturday & am still making the steady progress that I need to be. Body fat is down to 13.7%, and weight is still staying constant. My weight is currently at around 128.5lb and I started prep at around 131.5lb. For the most part my weight has stayed around the 128-130lb range throughout prep. Definitely shows that the scale does not tell the whole story. People, especially women, put too much emphasis on that number and get easily discouraged. Fitness and health are so much more than a number. It's how your clothes fit, how much stronger you are, and most importantly how you feel.
Overall, bikini prep is very glute focused, but I have also been making a very conscious effort to be hitting shoulders and lats pretty hard. I want to put on some upper body mass so I am not a total noodle on stage :).
Other than that, not much has changed. School and work have been pretty busy/stressful, but it's nice to have an outlet for that stress. Being able to channel my energy, whether it be negative or positive, into my lifts has been really great for my mental health and overall well being.
