Soooo about today😅👀
What a lot of you see is another trophy 🏆 but ultimately 24hrs prior to this we basically pulled out the show 🤷🏻♀️
I actually only decided to jump in this show on Wednesday - a couple of days of what we thought were just fatigue at the start of the week, and could be managed with some rest & my usual higher foods leading up to a show - we realised late Thursday that it was MORE than that I was dealing with 😅
Until then though, despite being under the weather - my body was still playing ball and “looking” how we wanted so we thought why not do the show this weekend, it’s only around the corner…
However - Friday & Saturday things started to change. I got poorlier, I wasn’t sleeping, I was able to do the bare minimum in my day and Saturdays check in was the first time we thought “I cannot present this on stage” 😅
Countless discussions, difficult conversations later - Jordan and I decided we’d get my tan and re-asses in the morning but if nothing changed I would be pulling out.
My look improved overnight - dropped some water and inflammation BUT I definitely didn’t bring my best look.
It can happen.
My emotions nearly got the better of me because stepping on stage confidently to an audience of people and a panel of judges KNOWING you don’t look or feel your best is not easy. But the professional in me, and after a pep talk from Jord we decided to still go ahead 👊🏼
Glad we did, of course! 🥇
All we can do is focus on these next two weeks and see what they bring 🤍
It helps that Jordan is practically a magician ✨
