2024, 1 day out vs 2026, roughly 2 weeks-ish
I’ve been a little MIA and living in my own world lately—my sister lovingly called me out on it. But honestly, I’ve just been putting in the work, both at my big-girl job and in prep.
This prep has definitely been different. Food is lower, cardio is higher, and I’m seeing a level of leanness I’ve never seen on myself before. It’s exciting, but I can’t help hearing my grandma’s voice in my head wanting to feed me every chance she got—she definitely would not have approved of this stage of prep. (She always supported me, don’t get that twisted.)
I’ve been pushing hard, and yes, I’m tired. Some days I complain (because if you know, you know 😉), and there have been a few emotional rollercoasters along the way. I also know I haven’t seen the last of those. But despite all of it, I genuinely love this challenge and this lifestyle.
I’m excited for what’s ahead. Looking back, I know I’ve already beaten the old version of myself, which is always the goal—to improve from season to season. But I’m not done yet. There’s still work to do, and I’m going to keep following the plan coach gives me and trusting the process.
