As I sit here alone with nothing but the sound of my AC running I've started to reflect on the past year. This time last year I was about 2 months into my off-season and wondering if I was really going to be able to do this meal plan and training plan. I knew to build muscle and make my self better physically I would have to eat more and gain weight but I didn't realize how much it would effect me mentally. I felt full all the time but I knowing and trusting my plan I continued to eat sometimes forcing myself to eat when I wasn't hungry. Gaining weight weekly, which for a woman is hard, and even though everyone liked me more "fluffly" as I call it, I was struggling with losing my abs and definition. Even so I pressed on knowing that when the time came I'd have to not only cut my food and be hungry but also start doing more cardio and my weight training sessions would change. Well let's fast forward to know....I'm hungry, doing more cardio and my weights have changed and all I have to say is...IT WAS WORTH IT. I have more muscle and am tighter than last year. I am so happy with my progress. Trusting the process, my coach(Ryan Walters with Conquering Giants Nutrition) and myself was all worth it! I've attached pictures so you be the judge.
