Yay, everything is coming together! I am right now in the best condition I've been for a show in several years, if ever! And still weighing in over 140 for me is awesome! I may take my goal weight lower than 139, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I am tracking perfectly to nail my goal and have a little bit of a rest/food increase to fill back out before Juniors. I'm VERY excited about this show... regardless of how the placements land, I know I'm at my all-time BEST!!!

Starting my new full-time IT job this week threw my schedule off a bit, but I pre-planned accordingly to prioritize my workouts and get quality over quantity. It worked! I am more rested, my recovery is better, and my workouts (particularly routine practices) are far more effective now. Plus, I love my new job!!! :) God has blessed me tremendously and I am very grateful.
