9 weeks down… and with a combination of my first competition moving up and me miscounting the weeks like an idiot, I am #12weeksout (two days ago). It feels like it's right around the corner. I met with my coach one week ago and we talked diet/nutrition, supplements, training and checked out to see where my body was. I send in progress photos 2x a week and weigh in 3x a week, but you always get a better look in person. In the last week I have stopped breastfeeding and have started taking supplements and vitamins. Basically, my body's hormones are imbalanced… and it sucks.
I took these last week. I was actually feeling quite confident that I would be able to make my first show in 12 weeks. Now, I'm not so sure. I haven't taken a bite off of my diet, I work my ass off in the gym, I have followed his plan and I feel like my body has come to a halt this past week by me stopping breastfeeding, starting supplements, and now I got my period for the first time in over a year and a half. I just really hope my hormones sort themselves out soon. I haven't thrown in the towel yet, as in pushing my first show back to June (instead of April).
I've also checked out fellow competitors and they have already started posing practices, leaning out and I'm here, still fluffy, waiting for my 'in season' plan to hit my inbox.
Just had to vent a little.

Hopefully my next post will be a more positive one.
