How did you find out
about the 1stphorm #Transphormation Challenge?
I've been following
1stphorm for several years now, so naturally through social media I saw their
announcements about it.
I got injured at work back in April, damaging the cartilage in my dominant wrist while putting up drywall and have since gone through several months of physio therapy and lots of doctor visits. I got upset that after making such amazing progress at the gym, I could barely even pick up a cup of coffee without being in a lot of pain. After months, I felt like maybe I would never get better and that I would have to give up on all those dreams, maybe even my career. Which led to some depression and I no longer cared about what i ate or what my waistline looked like. Now, on the best days, my wrist is at about 85%, and as long as im careful with it, so far I'm able to slowly get back to normal duties at work, and hit the gym with a few modifications to accommodate. I am determined to continue with my dreams and not let it get me down again.
Fit, Strong, and Muscular is where I want to be, and I am willing to put in the work and determination that those things require. SEXY FOR SUMMER is my goal, haha!!
How did you find me?: Through youtube!
What motivated you to
start? I stopped lifting over a year ago because of an injury and
recently have been getting back to normal in my abilities. I've also been very
unhappy with how my body looks and decided it was time to make this year count.
To see what me and my body are capable of!
What was your fear going
into the challenge? Failure. Always failure. And that people will see me
failing and think little/badly of me...
How do you think you
overcame that fear? By reminding myself that I'm doing this for me.
So first and foremost, I'm failing myself if I give up. But also that I
shouldn't always worry about what other people think and that if I can prove to
myself that I'm being true and working hard, their opinions won't matter.
Did you think about
quitting? All the time. That whole "I'll start tomorrow, or next
week, etc' always plays in my mind. And lots of times a week passes before I
walk into the gym again. But I'm hard on myself and I get upset when I realize
how far I've let myself back slide because it shows in my lifting. And then
once again I tell myself to keep going and not eff it this time, haha.
Why didn't you quit? Because I do truly love lifting heavy. And it's not just a hobby, it is
part of who I am. I've always been attracted to fitness type activities and
this is the one that's stuck with me the longest. Part of me would feel empty
if I didn't fill that void. I'm a boring person lol.Work and home is all I
usually spend my time with, so gym gives me that fun/physical 'me time!
What would you say you
love most about how your life has changed since you started? Definitely
my appearance haha! I've been skinny my whole life and since I hit 20 I started
putting on weight in unwanted places. I was never happy with that. Plus I feel
confident being a muscular woman, which is why I'm going for mass right now as
my main goal.
What are you goals for
the next 12 weeks? Consistency in diet and lifting.
What does your typical
day of eating consist of Give me a breakdown of a full day? Well, right
now I'm loving your recipe for protein waffles. So I make a bunch and freeze
those. Peanut butter and sliced banana on top for my breakfast, and then if
that doesn't tide me over til 10am, I'll have a snack of fruit or a bar or
something. Then 10am is my next meal, 12pm or 1pmfor
meal 3, and then I would get home and have meal 4 along with another snack of
some kind, either before or after. My meals are typical prep meals of
meat (chicken, steak or ground beef/chicken), rice or sweet potato, and veggies
of some kind. I'm also drinking two shakes a day with two scoops of whey in
it.
What is your favorite
Supplement STACK right now with 1stphorm? Postworkout stack all the way!
It's my mandatory workout supplement. Ignition and Phormula 1 (currently
vanilla milkshake) taken religiously lol.

What is your favorite
flavor protein? WHAT can you not live without? My favorite so far is
Phormula 1 Loop d fruit because frootloops are my favorite cereal. And I still
stand by the Postworkout stack, can't live without that.

What is your favorite go
to EAT CLEAN snack? recipe? Hmm...I don't know if I have a favorite. Some days fruit is amazing, other days it's anything peanutbuttery. I'm a
woman with strong cravings, let's just say that! Haha!
What does your workout
split look like? Mondays and Thursdays
are upper body. A fully incorporated super set session that includes all areas
(chest, back, shoulders, tri and bi) and I need to get back to my crashfit
(legday)classes on Wednesdays. I just try and get in two leg days
wherever it fits into the rest of the week."
How much cardio do you do
a day? I don't do cardio a whole lot. Crashfit class is intense cardio.
If I do cardio, it would be after a lifting session for about 30minutes.
What would you tell
someone who is thinking about joining the 1stphorm transphormation challenge or
just any challenge in general? Advice? Go for it! If it motivates you
more, then great. Also know it's not going to be easy, but that's why joining a
group with the same goals is a bigger step in the direction you want to take
because now u have others to help you. Just know motivation fades, and that's
when your challenge really begins.
You started sharing your
journey on Instagram and even in the private FACEBOOK group. how would
you say this has helped you through your journey? Instagram is actually like
my blog (plog I like to say...cus it's pictures) and I like the community
and friends you can build through that. Motivating each other, sharing and
reviewing products, it's very helpful. Our Facebook group is awesome because I
think we've gotten closer lately through that. And not all of my Facebook
friends care to see update pictures or mealprep, so it gives me a place to be
able to show those who are interested.
Lastly, what are you most
excited about doing that maybe you would not have done before starting this
journey? Well, I tried the Grouse Grind recently (and almost died
lol). I love lifting heavy so every PR I make gets me excited.
MY MESSAGE TO POI,
YOU were one of my very first subscribers on my journey on youtube and I still can't believe it has been as long as it has. I forget that we have never met and I don't actually know you in real life haha I have loved watching your journey to becoming a flexing strong kick ass women!! LOOK at you in that picture up there standing next to Ms Olympia!!
PROUD...that is what this whole challenge is about! If anyone things for a second that in 3 months they are going to finally be where they always wanted then they are going about it the wrong way! you have proven that it isn't easy...but getting back up again...having that pep talk with yourself and reminding yourself you are doing this for YOU...is the biggest success!!!
We are only half way through the year...and you made me promise to keep your promise to yourself! You will not look back and you will keep progressing. I see bulging biceps in your future and inspiring women that strength is the ultimate motivator! Love you girl and thank you for being on my journey with me!!!
Love Always xoxo,
Shana Emily
