I feel like I should probably document this, just so I can look back on it. I was 2 weeks out as of last Friday. Met with Luke Saturday and weight was at 131 lbs (down 2 lbs) and bodyfat was 11.6%. I weighed myself yesterday (Monday) & am now at 130 lbs. Last show I was 128 lbs at 1 week out & stepped on stage around 126 lbs. Ultimately, I am on track to bring a leaner & more muscular physique (which is obviously what I want). I am not planning on posting any pictures until show or after (not that anyone actually reads this).
I know this is cliche, but truly it is "You vs. You". Placing is great, but really all I want to do is bring to stage a certain physique that I have in my mind. The physique I have in mind is a lot different than my past shows, so beating the girl I was before is my ultimate goal. Like I said, cliche/cheesy/whatever, but I mean it. A lot of girls focus so much on placing, which is just setting yourself up for failure. YOU have to be happy with what you bring. You aren't going to win every time & you aren't always going to be what the judges are "looking for", but that does not determine your worth or discredit all your hard work. Anyway, random low carb ramblings over.
Today is Tuesday which means I have 10 days til show. Energy & strength are basically non-existent & I am definitely dragging. In all honesty, I feel like shit. Luckily work is really busy right now, so I can take my mind off of feeling crappy. This is definitely the hardest I have pushed myself during a prep. I am very competitive with myself, & I know what I want to bring. I also know that in order to bring that certain physique, I have to push myself harder than past preps. I am very lucky in that during my preps I am able to keep food high & cardio low for a majority of the time. These last two weeks are grind time. They are rough, but they are also temporary.
Much love & (lethargic) lifting,
Leah
