well well well… life really is more enjoyable when you eat
 
If you’re eating 1200 calories trying to be as small as possible, or pushing 3000 while doing hours of cardio just to keep up… I hope I can be a small sign to start seeing food as a tool, not the enemy.

Somewhere along the way we got convinced that more is better, more cardio, more restriction, more suffering. Like if we just push harder and take more away, the results will come faster.

But that’s only a small piece of the equation.

Intensity and discipline matter, but so does recovery. So does sleep. So does actually fueling your body enough to perform, build, and function.

Less is not always more. Sometimes more is just running yourself into the ground, living in survival mode.

I hate the word “balance” but remember, the balancing act between actual rest and hard work isn’t lazy when done correctly. It’s what actually works.

Oh and ps growth takes time. Left is 2023 and right is current.

if you don’t get uncomfortable, you can’t expect to change.
 
would I be comfortable if I was leaner? maybe at times
would I be less anxious if I let myself take it easy when I’ve had a stressful day at work? probably, but how would I feel looking back on this day when I’m on stage knowing I didn’t work as hard?
would I be be relaxed if I chilled on the meal prep and let myself eat out? in the moment yes

as humans we often times want to take the easy route thinking it is “balance” and letting us relax. But in reality looking forward it’s the harder option. Knowing you didn’t push your hardest, knowing you didn’t give in effort on days when you were exhausted, knowing you let meals slack, this all adds up and is shown through your physique on stage.

Instead of seeing the intense workouts, the planning, the cardio, the pushing food as uncomfortable and hard, look at this as doing what your future self deserves. 
 
Do you want to look back with regret or look back and be damn proud you pushed yourself?

nothing changes if nothing changes.

you think this happened over night, a few weeks, a couple months?

no. This took TIME.

2 years of posing, 5 years of lifting, 3 years of tracking meals, 5 years of educating myself.

And guess what? This is just the beginning.

Bodybuilding and health & fitness in general is all about longevity and delayed gratification. If you can practice this, you will find beauty in the process.
