Dancing With The Stars Is The Hardest Job Terra Jole Has Ever Had, But, Most Rewarding – New Blog

Dancing With The Stars Terra Jole writes that she feels great going into tonight’s show, However, it’s taken it’s toll of her physically. Here is more from People.

I feel really great going into tonight show, but the physical toll of the competition has definitely started to get to me.

I started on DWTS only three weeks after having a cesarean section. That probably wasn’t the smartest thing. I shouldn’t have done any cardio until eight weeks after giving birth, and two hernias have formed.

But we are so close to the finish line and instead of having the surgery now and hurting myself again, I’m waiting until the end of the competition. During rehearsals and the live show I’m having to wear a belly band or girdle to not injure myself any further. It’s tough and very risky — but it’s all worth it!

Being away from my newborn can be a little harder to justify, though. Not being able to spend a ton of time with her is the hardest things I’ve ever experienced.

I gave my daughter Penny so much of me in the start of her life and now her younger brother Grayson sees me in his dreams, basically. I’ve already missed his first smile and to make things worse, he won’t latch anymore. I usually am only able to get him to latch at night, but due to missing a night here or there, he now prefers the bottle.

It truly tugs at my heartstrings, but I keep telling myself this is for them. One day they will look back and hopefully feel that if Mama can do this, they too can do anything.

DWTS is the hardest job I’ve ever had — and probably the most rewarding at the same time. Not only are you tested physically, but emotionally as well.
