July 27, 2015

It is the halfway point to Greater Omaha. I am 10 weeks in and 10 weeks out. Met with Luke on Saturday and things are still going good. Over the past two weeks bodyfat went from 13.47% to 13.59% and weight increased from 131.5 lbs to about 134 lbs, so I am feeling good & really excited. Still at 3,000 calories and cardio 2x/week. Both Luke and Kelly said that we will start cutting at about 6 weeks out, so I have another 4ish weeks of bulking. Luke said that my food intake will still be pretty high even during my "cut" since my body isn't really putting on much bodyfat at 3,000 calories. During my last prep I cut at 1800 calories. I am excited to see what I can cut at this time. 

Did some comparisons from last show.

Very happy & proud of the progress I have made. It's taken a lot of foods, weights, & diligence.

Much love & lifting,

July 13, 2015

This is Week 8 of training for Greater Omaha. I am roughly 12 weeks out. Met with Luke on Saturday to measure bodyfat. Since we increased to 3000 cals/day two weeks ago, bodyfat went from 13.36% to 13.47% which is basically negligible. 

When I was 12 weeks out from Heartland I was at 14.3% bodyfat and this time at 12 weeks out I am at 13.47%. I also weigh roughly 2 pounds more than I did last time. I can definitely tell that things have slowly been changing. My jeans still fit in the waist, but are tight around my legs and butt. 


12 Weeks out from Greater Omaha

Biggest regret I have is that I didn't start living this way sooner. It's such a fun & rewarding lifestyle. Always remember that it's never too late to start something new & take a chance on yourself.

Much love & lifting,
Leah
