so i did what every normal girl would do and called my momma! we agreed we'd hit it hard until thanksgiving. well, of course this week my body decides to be 1. exhausted and 2. bloated and i could NOT stop feeling hungry. either way, it was deload week in my third powerlifting cycle so i just kept doing what i do.
well tonight i realized it was officially the end of my 12th week of doing the RP diet and powerlifting. i committed to these 12 weeks. i told myself that if i could stay as consistent as possible during these 12 weeks i would be so so so proud of myself. if you asked me last week how you thought i did during these 12 weeks i'd say sub-par. however, after sitting down tonight and looking at my progress pics and my lift graphs, i am SO PROUD of myself! i am just reminded again how consistency pays off.
overall i have lost 4, yes, you're reading that correctly, FOUR pounds. that's it. but my lifts have increased by a shit ton and my waist is SO much smaller. at first i was hesitatnt to post these pictures because i was embarrassed at how much weight i gained but honestly, i am proud that i can focus on myself and turn my life around. i have eaten pizza, i have drank beer, i have eaten apple pie, i have drank vodka. but i didn't do that every day. and i didn't let one meal of pizza ruin days and weeks of eating for me. i re-taught myself to use food to fuel my body and my workouts. i taught myself to respect my body by feeding myself things that make me feel good instead of punishing myself with things that make me feel gross. this was continuously reflected in how i felt at the gym as well.
i still have a few months until i reunite with jasper, and i plan to stay consistent with what i have been doing but possibly switch up some of my training just to mix things up. i am so excited to share this lifestyle with my swolemate when he returns!
