Another take on #transformationtuesday from the same two #dance #auditions I posted earlier. What a world of difference in the year between these two #selfies Candidate 41 looked very much deer in the headlights, swollen, and already exhausted and #dancetryouts hadn’t even started. Candidate 55 took a hella #sweaty #selfie or #swelfie AFTER she had finished auditioning and still managed a dorky smile on her face. A good redemption for her #TeamEdin shirt since the last time she wore it she experienced heartbreak at #contcup2019 What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Some things stay w/ you and drag you down... 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 IDK if numerology had any role in the outcomes, but 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese numerology, whereas 5 is luckier. Not as lucky as 8, but luckier than 4 for sure, hence why a company of canned sardines is called 555 in Asia... 41 had never NOT passed dance tryouts since first semester freshman year of college for The Movement so it was devastating. Although I don’t think she could’ve handled being in a dance troupe last year... 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 Being significantly skinnier at tryouts this year made a big difference, but so did pacing myself so I still had something left in the tank for the two passes when my actual audition came. Another year older and hopefully wiser. I actually started visualizing getting down on the floor & letting my hair down literally for auditions, but when the time came, I was on auto-pilot and forgot OOPS! 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 After the challenging 5 years I’ve had, things actually started looking up towards the end of 2018. I thought 2019 was going to be the best year yet in comparison, but it started off rough and I’m still trying to recover. January was a trial period! It’s #ChineseNewYear so here’s new beginnings! I approached dance tryouts w/ focus & determination. I had something to prove to myself & really needed the win. #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fatloss #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #biggirlgranny #dancing #fitness #wellness #progressnotperfection #progressnotperfect https://www.instagram.com/p/BthDKplBhdK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t2r4waf5vwie
