Natural bikini bodybuilding journey to stage and beyond 🚀

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

✨THATS A WRAP FOR THE PURPLE BIKINI✨

The goal was to just get better each time and we did that, with an improved look, improved confidence and improved posing. I’m so proud of myself for even stepping on stage once let alone 4 times.

Appreciation time -

@megmlifts - I could not have done this without you. By my side every show, supporting me and guiding me every step of the way. I am not the easiest client because I am extremely type A so I need plan A-Z for everything and I appreciate you always being there for me and keeping me calm throughout this whole process. 💗
And obviously a big shout out to you for always making sure my tan was 10/10

@jw_mcr_81 - my husband, my biggest cheerleader, my personal chauffeur. For someone who doesn’t have any interest in bodybuilding, the effort and support you have given me throughout this whole process is unmatched. Thank you for always lifting me up when I was feeling low and unmotivated and not questioning or complaining when I haven’t had time or energy to do things. You have also sacrificed months for this sport where I haven’t really been present and I will remember this. This is a selfish sport but now it’s time for me to give you my energy instead of the treadmill 🤣🥰

My family - I don’t have a big circle but everyone who means something to me came to at least one of my shows. I am overwhelmed with the amount of support I have had from all my family and friends and honestly, if it wasn’t for them and all of the above I would have ended prep a lot earlier.

I’ve made some amazing friends during this journey, shoutout to @tss_fitness, thank you for sharing this journey with me and it’s been so nice to speak to someone who can relate on so many levels.

Bodybuilding prep is tough, it challenges you physically and mentally. I am extremely proud I did this but now it’s time to spend a few years growing and building. I will 100% do this again, when I feel ready and when I know I can bring a better package. 💪🏼💃🏼

Next chapter: the reverse and get back to feeling healthy again!
This physique was for a purpose, it was for stage, it’s done its job and now we nail the reverse and grow! by @abiward_fit

✨Prep week 27✨- THE FINAL WEEK OF PREP
Avg BW 54kg (-0.5kg)

This will be my final prep update!
This week has been tough more mentally than physically. I think I’m just ready for normality with a bit more food and a little less pressure on being absolutely on point. I never thought I’d say this but I’m ready for my step count to go down now 😂

On a more positive note, I’m so fucking proud of myself. Competition prep has been a whole new level of discipline and grind and I can’t believe I actually did it. From the girl who used to wear shorts over her bikini on holiday to the girl who gets on stage in a thong In front of 100s of people.

This week was the final dig, I’ve been mentally checked out and 100% robot mode as sleep has been absolutely horrendous and I just feel WEAK all the time.

The final peak week is here, no matter the outcome on Saturday I will be happy. The POA is the same as previously, enjoy the day and embrace the moment and just have fun and make more amazing memories ☺️

- the look today (54.1kg)
- tried this bad boy for the first time and I absolutely love it!!
- posing got my calves feeling like they will burst. Pulsio boots saving me in this prep for sure

Improving between shows isn’t just about digging harder, especially when you have a long season, instead it’s about pushing and pulling, whilst managing recovery to bring that extra bit of condition without the physique fading

Abi’s first show was in August and since then we’ve continued to improve the look for her second and third shows and now as we head into her final peak week for NBW 🌍

The improvements didn’t come from extra cardio, instead from pulling back cardio, keeping Abi fresher and ultimately just having more time!

Final dance next weekend, let’s goooo 😎✨

✨Prep week 26✨
Avg BW 54.4kg (-0.1kg from peak week)

The weak post show is always grim. You go from being full of carbs, energy, low output and more food to being pale, skinny, low food and low energy. It’s like the ultimate high to the ultimate low and I don’t think I will ever get used to it but I’m getting better at expecting it and managing it.

Joined a new gym this week though which is exciting. Great motivation to keep pushing through the next few weeks and not letting my drop in strength also drop my motivation to train as hard as I can. We have 1 full week left now of pushing before my final peak week!

Right now my main focus is keep on top of mobility, practicing posing and nailing everything I can to bring my absolute best to the next and final show. Me vs me.

2 weeks left baby, let’s go 🚀

What I eat in a day - training day

Total macros:
Calories 1,807
Carbs: 185g
Fats: 55g
Protein: 143g

Meal 1 - 9am
Cream of rice, banana, honey and whey. No fats in this meal to allow for quick digestion because I train within 30minutes of this meal.
Meal 2 - 11am
Beef, spinach and rice cakes. The spinach adds volume for not many calories and helps me feel like I’ve actually ate something.
Meal 3 - 1pm
Chicken salad with guacamole. This meal is so low in calories but actually keeps me full for ages and that’s why I have it twice 😋
Meal 4 - 3pm
Ninja creami with dark choc and rice cakes (toasted). Seriously, toasted rice cakes make them taste like warm popcorn 👌🏼 when you’re this deep in prep, any new flavour is divine.
Meal 5 - 5:30pm
Chicken salad & guacamole(avocado mashed 🤣)
Meal 6 - 7pm
Eggy oat bowl. I save fats during the day to load this as much as possible. It keeps me nice and full before bed to help me sleep. I would much rather have this bowl of oats over any cheat meal. I genuinely think keeping this in every day is the reason my cravings and food focus low during this diet.

My meals aren’t bland or boring, I love every single one of them and even though I’m on a meal plan I worked with my coach to find foods that work well for me and I enjoy. If you enjoy your food it’s much easier to stick to it.
I have always preferred eating little and often. During prep this has been a game changer because even if I’m starving the next meal is never too far away. by @abiward_fit

✨Prep week 24✨
Avg BW 55.1 (-0.6kg)

This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Started the week off feeling fat (didn’t poo for 3 days so that could be why+ prep brain). I felt like I was too small and an imposter on the stage. Ended the week with a complete mindset shift. I know I need to grow and improve but this is my first season, this is my starting point in bodybuilding.

We’re rolling into another peak week now with zero expectations just to go in and have fun and enjoy my time on stage like I did my first show. Also it’s the final 4 weeks of prep!

Plus I have it easy now coz cardio has been pulled due to the fact I had to do level 12 on stairs to get HR up and it was causing me endless hip pain and inflammation. Since swapping to long walks we are still dropping weight and my mind & body are in a much better place 😌

Hunger hit harddddd this week. I’ve not experienced this before where hunger pains woke me up in the night and not being able to concentrate on work because of food noise. In some way I’m glad I’ve experienced it so I can relate to others who talk about the extreme hunger side and I think it will make me more resilient in the reverse. In work I manage it by drinking flavoured tea or decaff coffee, warm drinks satisfy me a lot more than juice these days. At home I just clean the house ✨

Thats my moan over for another week. Time to enjoy the next 4 weeks of shredsssss 💪🏼

Oh and nobody told me about how fkin pale u feel in between shows 😂 I think I’ve exfoliated my actual skin colour off.

-the look today 54.6kg
- legs comin innnnn
- my new cardio
- why does it feel like winter ❄️
- tbh my camera roll is jus full of me trying to nail my back pose

Song of the week is my current song to pose to. Manifesting finding my flow 💅🏼 by @abiward_fit

Client @abiward_fit taking to the UKDFBA British Finals stage yesterday ✨

Another smooth peak and an incredible showing from Abi in what was an insane standard of bikini!

The goal of this season was to qualify for the finals and we did just that and took to the finals stage with a much improved package from the qualifier which is always the goal!

Just missing out on that top 5 placing yesterday but Abi as always conducts herself like a true champ and we know what needs to be done to continue improving 🙌🏻✨

✨Show day✨ UKDFBA BRITISH FINALS

Another amazing day with UKDFBA. The goal was to bring a better package and we certainly did that. I didn’t place but I didn’t look out of place. The girls in my category were absolutely amazing and it just gives me fire to improve.

Nerves got the better of me this time. I put too much pressure on myself to nail my individual routine that I fked it up even worse than the first time 😂😂😂 lessons were definitely learnt today.

I came off stage feeling like I’d let everyone down, not because I didn’t place but the fact I KNOW I could have presented myself better. I was so nervous and shaking I just lost all brain function as soon as I stepped on stage.

I am not going to dwell on that though, I’m going to use it as motivation and drive to just keep going and keep practicing. I am going to look back at these days as my “before” and the start of my journey.

My number was 111 and even though I didn’t win I’ve still coming away feeling blessed by all my family and friends supporting me. My mum, step dad, husband and 2 step kids were in the crowd shouting my name and for them to come to a show means everything to me.

I am also truly grateful to @megmlifts for taking the time in her busy day to be my tanner, hype girl, photographer, backstage mum and most importantly my shoulder to cry on and the coach who never fails to lift be back up when I’m low.

Back to the plan now & deffo more posing practise going in😅

let’s go! 🔥

1 day out for client @abiward_fit ✨

A much improved look here from the qualifier which is always the goal between shows! Sharper and fresher having pulled back on cardio after her first show and then carefully pushing and pulling with food to keep the look progressing 🤝

2 meals in here and visuals continuing to improve as the day goes on. If there’s one thing Abi’s body responds well to it’s keeping off her feet - horizontal protocol and some more carbs then it’s time to go for round 2 😎
