I’m sorry to hear of your shoulder problems – that was me two years ago, I went to physical therapy twice a week and I still have some issues but it’s slowly getting better. Choose to look at this time as an excellent opportunity to work on your other body parts, perhaps get an extra bouncy tush?? :) Careful not to work through the pain, the body gives you signals for a reason… Wishing you a speedy recovery and keep me posted on your progress!

I have had to take sometime off from training due to shoulder/clavicle issues. I have had issues with the middle part of my back so I am no stranger to pain or set backs however, I must admit I am not thrilled about this recent set back as I am not sure how long it will be before I will be training again.
I like the above quote and thanks for the reminder, “Tough times don’t last. Tough people do!” Just what I needed!
Keep up the great work Sunny!

How sweet of you to post this, I really appreciate it! And I’m so happy you have found a trainer and going for your own fitness goals – yay!! I completely understand what you mean when you say that fitness is adding another dimension to your life, I feel the same way. In fact, I have small ambitions of making it my part time living as well… more to come about that soon!
With regards to the question you had about my diet – it has been prescribed for me based on my goals. It’s important to note that each diet is different since we all have different visions and aims – mine is to gain muscle but right now, also to drop a few pounds. So I am doing a lot of cardio (well, at least for me) and at the same time digesting more carbs than usual, but mostly in supplements, which will help me shed fat but at the same time retain muscle. My first goal is to gain muscle – if that means I will be a little “fatter” than I like to be for a few weeks/months, so be it. I don’t like myself at the weight I am right now but I am STRONG at the gym, and I know that will be good for my shape once I start stripping down some fat. I am by no means a whale or anything – but just not as ripped as I was right around my show. And that;s ok – because I don’t want to live a lifestyle that I have to eat chicken for breakfast every day :) Hope that answers your question – I will write more about how it is balancing my food and wine and fitness… It is a constant struggle!

I just finished reading another blog a few minutes ago and the article was about paying it forward at the gym… (http://www.motherfitness.com/recognizing-the-greatness-that-surrounds-you/) so I thought I’d say thanks for all of your hard work.

I’m always reading the fitness articles and taking in the knowledge, but so often I wish I could come across someone serious about fitness who does what we do for a living and deals with all of the challenges that come with a nontraditional work day and being surrounded by fine foods and drink, and still gets it done. Well that’s you, for me!!

While I’m not compelled to get into competition, I’m working towards my own fit and trim figure. I’ve tried out many of your food suggestions, and have found ways to cut down on how much damage constantly tasting food can have (if someone else is around, I let them do it, and have the smallest taste of the end result). AND, late fall I joined a gym and used some of my PRECIOUS dollars to hire a trainer who is really putting me through my paces- my shoulders are burned out as I write this!! :) Together we are working towards a tight physique that works for my frame and I’m all about that. In someway I find that getting serious about fitness has really added another dimension to my life, making me more well rounded….

Anyhoo, just wanted to share.

ps What is your trainer’s recommended diet doing for your body?

]]> Comment on My new favorite vegetable! by Sunny http://sunnyandfit.com/2011/12/16/my-new-favorite-vegetable/#comment-522 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:51:13 +0000 http://sunnyandfit.wordpress.com/?p=766#comment-522 Hi Elizabeth! There are many reasons why spinach is described in my diet. Spinach is one of the most nutrient dense vegetables of all the leafy greens, contains a lot of iron and fiber and is a natural diuretic (helps the body shed water), and also a muscle building vegetable. It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, something needed in a bodybuilding diet in addition to nutrients preventing osteoporosis, a condition many women with low body fat following a strict diet such as myself, can end up suffering from. Spinach is filling as well, and contains a lot of vitamin A, C, B and K. So.. as you can see – provides a lot of positive effects but I agree with you – it’s frustrating that it cooks down so much! luckily I get easy access to fresh spinach from the farmers markets we do, so I always make sure I stock up. I will be substituting with tat soi whenever I can though just to get a change!

My frustration is that it cooks down to nothing so one bag from Trader Js is good for one meal with barely enough to share, and is not cheap!
