My Gym Transformation was NOT Linear

Let’s just say weight loss or any kind of goal within fitness realistically is not linear.

I really wish I could sit back and show you how great I look right now compare to where I started but I would be lying to myself.

July 2020: When I first started weighing myself in 2020 I ran track. For me losing weight was a priority because every extra lb negatively impacted my race time. I started to see a very lean physique in the summer of 2020 after endless hours in the sun running and sweating. I could eat almost anything back then.

July 2021: I had gained a lot of weight due to birth control and honestly just losing myself and my goals. I had stopped track and wanted to start lifting more but was extremely inconsistent. I had an obvious skinny fat look and was ready to take the gym serious.

July 2022: My first full year of training I made some crazy newbie gains and had some serious discipline. I really wanted to get leaner again and get back to a physique I was proud of from lifting alone. Yes I went backwards in the winter but it was very easy to get back on track for the summer.

April 2023 (Now): I am going to be honest I am not too proud of my physique. I have been in a serious mental rut the entire year just trying to figure out my purpose for after college and even in the gym which relates to my life after college. I have put on extra fat and I have genuinely been eating worse. One thing I have always wanted to do is compete in bodybuilding and I think my next step to taking my physique seriously is to do so.

May 2023: As of May 1st I will be preparing for my first ever bodybuilding show in May of 2024. I will also have a friend by my side doing bikini while I will probably do figure. I will post all my updates on here for anyone interested any honestly to just stay accountable.

Progress is not linear especially when life gets in a way, you must however find goals and a purpose to what your doing to keep going through thick and thin!
