Heyoooooo. Overall everything has been really good. I do struggle a bit with seasonal stuff. The winter really impacts my mental health for whatever reason, but I know it's temporary. I have deleted instagram from my phone because I was finding that it was impacting my joy & the quality of my days. I'll eventually get back on, but for now it's nice to have a break.
Honestly, I am amazed by how things are going in regards to nutrition and training. I have been breaking through strength plateaus (specifically back squats, front squats, and deadlifts), and am close to being able to do a pull-up unassisted. Last week food was up to 2500 calories and this week Kelly upped it again. It's crazy to me how high my food has gotten and how I am not putting on excessive amounts of fat. Sometimes I get in my head & start to worry that I'm "doing something wrong" because I am not dieting or miserable, but I need to be appreciative of where I am at. My struggle/goal will always be to put on size, so I need to eat/train accordingly. I've been really consistent & diligence this offseason, and it is becoming apparent that I am now reaping the benefits of my hard work.
Weight fluctuates between 134-136 lbs. I carry a majority of my bodyfat in my legs, so I am excited to see what they look like when I lean down.
Much love & lifting,
Leah
