I was cleaning out some papers in my storage room this week and I found some professional proofs from 1997 when I was 38.
When I think of this time of my life, I have no idea how I did it?
What was I thinking during this process?
How did I fit everything in? My life was already busy with 3 daughters 14, 12 and 10. Mario and I both working etc.
The other thing is,
How did I have enough confidence to pull this off?
All of these questions that I would like to ask my younger self.
Times were different of course in 1997.
No mobile phones to take hundreds of photos or videos. No touching or editing photos. You got what you got.
Later that year I took the title of Miss Natural South Coast to Lake Tarpo on the North Island in New Zealand and competed in Miss Physique.
I was not experienced enough to know that I should have competed in Miss figure instead where I would have been more suited to that division.
The experience was fabulous and I learnt a lot.
I went on to compete one more time in February 1999 in Melbourne where I came 2nd, just before my 40th birthday.
It was an interesting journey
and
Really took my out of my comfort zone.
I realised that it was something that I could not sustain and I chose health.
