My fitness journey with Showcase Strength continued to level up with this most recent challenge. After completing the first challenge and being proud of the progress I made, I found myself slipping a bit during the hectic hurricane season and the holidays that followed. So when this challenge rolled around, I was more than ready to dial back in and hold myself accountable again.

My goal was to get as lean as possible while building strength—and I committed fully to that. This time around, I didn’t face many setbacks. In the past, back injuries would sometimes hold me back, but thankfully, I’ve gotten much stronger and haven’t had any issues this time (knocks on wood!). I made sure everything within my control stayed controlled: I hit my macros, completed every training session, got my steps in, and pushed myself to incorporate as much StairMaster cardio as possible.

Over the course of this challenge, I lost over 20 pounds—and about 55 pounds total since I started with Showcase. While I’m not referencing specific body fat percentage or muscle mass changes this time around due to some inconsistencies I noticed in my InBody scans, the physical progress was undeniable. I started seeing changes about halfway through, but what stood out to me the most was realizing how much stronger I’ve become. That’s probably the most rewarding part. 

There’s something incredibly motivating about knowing you’re in a challenge—it creates structure and clarity in your daily choices. When you know you’re working toward a goal, the discipline you develop starts to feel like reassurance. You know that staying consistent will absolutely get you where you want to go, and I love that about this process.

Now that it’s over, I feel accomplished and proud—and already excited for the next one!
