7 weeks and ya girl is in off season full force. I’m at the stage where the post show blues are at their highest point. Body composition is shifting. The scale is increasing. No specific goals are on the board. Health is funky and rebounding as it can for most of us. All very common things for us athletes.

BUT Coach keeps my mind in the right spot and my priorities where they should be. Right now we are prioritizing stress management, lots of food and ensuring we get all hormones in the proper ranger AND bring my menstrual cycle back. 🤞🏻

As always, here for you ladies if you need open ears for your off (LIFE) season! 🫶🏻

3 weeks and it honestly seems like I competed last year! 😆 Seems like it’s been 30 weeks - not 3! The high of competing has subsided and the mentality is in and I am here for it…until coach decides otherwise.😈

Coach and I did some bloodwork to ensure I’m in a good spot health wise. Organ function looks perfect but some low thyroid levels, as I have always had and have been on medication, so it is expected! Now just a few tweaks to things and we should be good!

Despite thyroid levels being pretty low, weight was still dropping pretty quickly! I lost almost 3-4lbs below stage weight, so macros have been bumped pretty freaking high and I’m finally maintaining stage weight at 119/120lbs! Weight loss is NOT the goal, rather slowly slowly increasing.

Just a friendly reminder, off season looks different for each athlete! Don’t compare yours to another’s, or to mine. I’ve been doing this since 2014 and let me just say, more off seasons than not for me have been messy, not followed, an emotional roller coaster and just completely food and weight focused. It takes time, patience, grace and conscious awareness of the emotions and physical changes that come along with post show. And also a coach who will hold your hand through it!

As always, here for you ladies if you need open ears for your off (LIFE) season! 🫶🏻

Challenges and shortcomings are 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 setbacks. There is always 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 in pain. G-d send us challenges, obstacles, sickness, diagnoses, death and all the things we view as negative to 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚 us. To 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 us. To 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚 us to do and become 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧. While doing so, we forget to realize and recognize that 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙨 are being inspired, taught and ultimately affected by our challenges.

It’s not always about “ME”.

An opportunity for 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙩𝙝 in yourself and those around you.

1 full week post show! And along with weight being down, ya girl is also pretty down. Real transparency, I’m exhausted. Mentally, physically and emotionally. The high of competing has settled, the supplements are done, the hormones are fluctuating, etc.

All these are normal and necessary post show. But I’m prepared, educated and A W A R E ! That is why post show is manageable for me at this stage in my journey. I’ve done it enough times to know what to expect and how to adjust and respond.

By “manageable”, I don’t mean “easy”. Hunger is through the roof, lethargy and moodiness is higher than before and my overall sense of joy has been down. BUT IT IS TEMPORARY and I remind myself that daily. 🫶🏻
