10 weeks into my cut for bikini competition/1 year since I started!
A year ago today I started my journey to the bikini stage. I think it's really scary as a woman to "bulk up" and embrace the change. The truth of the matter is is if you want to gain muscle you have to eat in a calorie surplus. That involves gaining weight some of which unfortunately are fat pounds. I must say I went a little over board at the holidays this year knowing my competition prep was on the other side of them.. but I am proud of myself for letting go and trusting my trainer. As you can see from the pictures I was super bloated 10 weeks ago after a week or so of holiday eating. I went super hard in the gym during my bulk (about 5 months) and it's really fun to see the muscles underneath! If you want to transform the shape and curves of your body you have to change the muscles. It's a long process but it's worth it!
