Lauryn Kaznowski IFPA Figure pro & IFPA Physique pro

Officially signed up for my first powerlifitng meet next weekend! Will be competing in Latham NY!

Squatting this morning. 6 sets of 185x 2, wide stance pause squats 145x10 for three sets & 50 walking lunges. It was early, but I made it 😅

& dessert! 1- 80 calorie caramel apple Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup pure pumpkin, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and topped with fat free whipped cream!

Cauliflower mash! Taste just like mashed potatoes! Boil cauliflower heads for about 8 minutes (until soft). Strain water and put the cauliflower in a food processor. I added garlic and parmesan cheese and a splash of skim milk. Ground it in the food processor until mashed potato consistency!! 213grams (pictured) is 54 cals!!

Made two really great meals tonight. One for dinner and one for breakfast tomorrow!! Will post recipes in a bit!

Current situation: been maintaining weight for a while now. Tracking macros & training. I don't have abs or perfect firm glutes, I even have cellulite. BUT despite these flaws I am getting healthier. I was diagnosed with amenorrhea but all my blood work is spot on. Getting stronger physically and mentally. Sad I won't be stepping on stage this season but for me health is the main priority.

Having a goal is always important. Competing in fitness competitions has been my goal for a long time (since 2010 to be exact). This will be the first Fall season in 4 years I won't be competing in. I love being on stage and I love the sport however my body needed a break. Not only did my body need a break but I had to learn to love my body when I wasn't 8% body fat. I decided I wanted to try out powerlifting. It is completely different training than I'm used to but I have to admit, it's pretty fun! Feeling strong physically & mentally is a great thing to feel! Here's to goals, lifting heavy things & loving yourself! Happy Friday!!
