Where do I even start! This prep was about the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I had so many obstacles thrown my way physically, emotionally, personally, and professionally. No one will ever know what it took for me to get to that stage in Orlando, and that’s okay...because in my heart I know, and I am SO freaking proud. This prep revealed just how strong my perseverance is. It revealed my tenacity and my resilience. So many times I didn’t think I would make it. So many times I just cried from exhaustion and frustration. But I kept going, and never gave up. This was my first time competing in bikini and with Klash being a highly competitive bikini show, I was nervous about how I would place. My goal was top 5, and I got 4th, so I am very happy!!! Especially considering everything thrown my way, I am just so proud of myself for pushing through and honoring my commitment to myself regardless of what was happening around me. Klash had a total of 227 athletes...this was way out of my comfort zone, and I am so proud of myself for facing my fears and doing the damn thing! So what’s next everyone asks...Most women don’t realize how hard this sport is on your body. I don’t think anyone really knows what they’re getting into when they start competing. This is an extreme sport that has serious impacts on your health. Your hormones, your thyroid, your metabolism, your digestion, your kidneys, your liver...all can be negatively impacted by the physical demands of this sport. It’s not healthy to be this lean for extended periods. It looks glamorous and fun on Instagram, but you have to remember what’s behind the scenes. I will be taking a few months to focus on getting my health back, and recovering from a very long first season. I hope to compete again sometime next year but for now, I’m not putting any pressure on myself. I’m going to enjoy traveling, my friends, my family, and the holidays. I am looking forward to a wonderful off season and I am so thankful to have all of your support and love along the way!! Thank you everyone for supporting me and believing in me!!
