Big prep low. Mainly due to fatigue drop with no cardio. Coz even when i do my 11-12,000 steps a day, right now inbetween im legit restinggggg.
Rest Day today, had a lovely morning walk around the lake. Had a lil bit of a headache this morning so im monitoring that. Had about 5L yesterday so im not low on fluid. Going to prioritise hydration and electrolyte balance today.
No Cardio today
10,000 steps

Had good fasted bowel movement this morning which was a surprise.
Weird stages of fatigue and grogginess for random stages of the day, one day i feel fantastic in the morning , shit midday, decent afternoon and the other end ,
Feel horrific morning, then feel fantastic post workout and afternoon haha.
Had legs A today, deffo the hardest session of prep so far, the focus, intent and execution was still great and didnt have much drop offs in performance, but outside that between sets I was looking like i was on another planet lmaooo.
No cardio today and tmr coz my body just loses sharpness in the legs and need to pull off the stress. I think by monday and for next week will potentially be my last week of cardio. (I want to keep pushing / dont we all hahaha)

71.7 today, prep low was yesterday at 71.6
Crunching hard for fat loss the last few days, and taking it all in. Staying ectremely present.
I hate counting down the days and weeks tbh because i dont want this process to end haha, fucccken hell it goes by too quick.
Todays POA still the same
45min cardio
10000 steps
Baseline food.
Had a fun push day today, all numbers held from last week except incline DB press where i was 1 rep down but ill take that 100%
As long as these drops arent catastrophic and super all of a sudden, then thats okay for me. Still upholding intent, focus and execution as always.

Days are only gonna get harder as you get closer to that competition but you can definitely push to it. It’s definitely an incredible feeling when you push to that first prep when you want to do more and more it’s fantastic. Enjoy the ride.
Oh absolutely Meg ! Really trying to take it all in now day to day without any neglect.
Thank you also for popping by :)))

Rest Day today.
Last few days been diff scheduele.
Thur and Fri reg food , cardio and steps.
Had a high day yesterday for legs (+800 cal) , 8000 steps and no cardio. And dropped 0.1kg the next day.
Todays agenda is back to normal RD Food (1990kcal) but no cardio and 8000 steps and i assume tmr we are back crunching with the output. Still doing daily check ins. Its also great to keep me accountable for posing rounds and presentation because i send my pose rounds to my coach as well as my shots. I try to imagine im being judged on film so i keep my transition, mid section and overall physique in balance between shots.
Training enjoyment has been very good this week, feel fucking great, some drops of weight in movements however but im getting much better effectiveness and stimulus from it, so thats a W in my book.
Cant believe im this close out and feeling relatively ok.

Rest day
Weight drop with a leg day, no cardio, less steps and high food. Good feedback..
Had improved sleep last night while having less wake ups needing to go bathroom.
POA for this sunday will be even more ‘lazy’ then yesterday lol.
Did fasted 25 min walk, prob walk 5-10 min after each meal and then thats basically my activity.
Was quite a happy boi with the higher food yesterday haha, thought id wake up with a spiked appetite but i suprisingly haven’t really so.
