Giving everything you have to achieve your own goals & dreams can be a extremely selfish time, and I’ve definitely had my moments. I’m forever grateful for the abundance of support & love my family has blessed me with the last couple of months. I love you guys to the moon and back ❤️ Thank you for everything 🙏

Update on the post-show damage…

27 days post show and I weighed in this morning at 252 lbs 👍🏼

Checked in at 222 1/2 lbs on September 3rd ✔️

That’s 30 pounds in 27 days 📈 Over a pound a day, which is actually insane…

DO NOT try this at home

The morning after the show I was already 239.4. Obviously most of that was water and sodium 💧not an excuse or anything I’m proud of. I know what I’m doing when I’m doing it… and I’ll do it again 😂 I was back down to 227 a couple days after I got back to Phoenix and into my normal routine.

I have no reason to hide anything. I went crazy for about a week post show and then started to reel it back in.

But reeling it back in for me just means I’m eating my normal foods again. Doesn’t mean I’ve stopped the cheat meals and if I want a pastry every single day, I’m having it and best believe I have 💀

The hardest part about all this is eating with discipline knowing I’m not prepping for a show and have the freedom to just crash out on food anytime without any major repercussions.

Locked in and ready for a fruitful off-season (even though I won’t be competing any time in the near future, 2030 agenda will be well underway by then)

Over or under 100 cookies to achieve this look? 🫠

Taking full advantage of the rebound phase and ensuring I put all the calories I’m consuming exactly where I want them to go (yes you can choose where your food goes if you gauge what your working out that day/when your working out that day)

Beyond blessed and highly favored 🙏🏼

I am a child of God and a follower of Jesus Christ and I am so grateful for the blessings that continue to pour into my life. Thank you to anyone who has supported me or given me any type of motivation.

The best is yet to come… (if we don’t get raptured before then) (which is the most likely scenario considering where we are in the world currently)

Eating some limited edition @buckeyebrownies half pound brownies 😮‍💨

After giving everything I had the past 22 weeks in prep, my appetite and cravings are on another level I’ve never experienced before. Sometimes I feel guilty eating post show, but I know how hard I worked to get where I am, and I deserve some foods I haven’t eaten in quite a long time. Part of me is like “you killed yourself for this, just eat whatever you want, you deserve it” and that mindset continues day after day, which is probably not the greatest mindset to have 😂

Yes, you should recognize your hard work, but eating everything you want day after day is most likely not the greatest approach. That said, it’s way easier said than done 💀
