The day after I-do...

No... Not my wedding... lol

Yesterday, I had the absolute joy of watching my Dad and Step-Mummy (sorry Clare 😂) say “I do” in front of all their closest friends and family. It was one of those gorgeous, love-filled days - full of thoughtful surprises, happy tears, and long-overdue hugs with people I haven’t seen in 10-15 years.

The whole day was emotional. From the build-up and excitement of getting ready to the big event itself. And honestly, I wouldn’t change a single thing.

BUT…

Today? I am exhausted! 😅

The emotional, psychological, and mental highs take their toll. Add in the physical stress of dancing my tooties off all night in heels that made my quads burn more than leg day, standing for hours chatting with Auntie Annie, tottering around on tiptoe, and pretending I wasn’t slowly losing feeling in my toes... it all adds up!

And let’s not forget the sweetie table. I think I single-handedly made up for every missed dessert this year - honestly, it could’ve been Christmas with the amount of sugar I put away.

So yes, my system is working overtime today - digesting, repairing, and recovering from the best kind of chaos.

It’s been a slower day: no training, just a wet and windy dog walk, and the small victory of assembling some overdue IKEA furniture (miraculously, no arguments 🙌).

Now I’m ready to tuck into some sausage and mash from Madgetts Farm, curl up early, and give my body what it really needs. Rest & Recovery. Because even the best days put stress on our systems, and it’s the quiet ones that help us bounce back stronger.

Here’s to love, laughter, a bit of movement, and knowing when to take it slow. ❤️
