Peak week is here!!! This week is really awesome because every day makes a big difference. This is the part where everything comes together & you randomly wake up one day & are a unicorn. Met with  Luke on Saturday and measured in at 10.8% bf and roughly 128lbs. I will gradually decrease carbs til Wednesday. Wednesday is no carbs, and then I will get pumped full of carbs. Food is pretty basic this week. I will be eating a lot of egg whites, asparagus, chicken, rice cakes, tilapia, sweet potatoes, almond butter, coconut oil, etc. Thursday, Friday, & Saturday will be tilapia, rice cakes, and sweet potatoes. I am excited to see what the final package looks like. Right now I am feeling pretty flat. Energy & strength isn't super great, but I am sooooooo excited, so that helps :) .

I have definitely noticed changes in my quads, glutes, and shoulders. A lot of food and diligence went into growing. No matter what happens, I am really happy about the progress I have made.

Three weeks out! Everything is going really well. These next few weeks will fly by. Just two weeks and then it will be peak week. As of Saturday body fat is 12% and weight was approximately 130.5lbs. Feeling pretty good because last time, one week out, my body fat was 11.7% and I weighed 124lbs. I am looking forward to coming in leaner and with more mature muscles. 

3 weeks out. Tiny waist is back & starting to see some quad separation. 

Last night I met up with Kelly and two of my teammates who are also doing the show. It's a lot of fun to have other people to share the process and show day with. Life is good. 

Much love & lifting,

4 weeks out. This is the extra fun part because things seem to change daily. I met with Luke on Saturday. Weight is roughly 132.5 lbs and bodyfat is at 12.7%. I am starting to gradually see some definition.

Left pic was August 27th and right pic was yestesrday (Septemer 7th). I remember being bummed out when I took the left pic. I am excited to see things start to tighten up & take shape.

Overall, things are great. Nothing too crazy. Finished adding rhinestones to my suit bottom last week and it turned out SO COOL. Hoping to start blinging the top this week. I am super excited to debut the suit that my mom & I created. 

Much love & lifting,
