June Spotlight Challenge
SUMER SMITH
Once upon a time, a few years ago. This woman and her best friend finally found the courage to show up to one of my group sessions. This after stalking my page for a year! They were on a weight loss journey together at that time. Having lost quite a bit of weight before by running, she hit a wall. Now let’s back up a bit. Sumer is chef. She knows how to cook. She knows her way through a kitchen blindfolded. However, she was about to learn more about her passion than she realized. FOOD!
Fast forward 3 years.
Not only did Sumer learn more in depth about macros, nutrients, how each of these are different for every individual. Sumer also learned the beauty of muscle building (have you seen her calves!), how more lean muscle eats body fat, that inches matter more than what a scale ever will. She also learned that increasing muscle helps with muscular endurance which helps with running 10ks and half marathons. That the true testament to staying healthy is consuming real foods and lifting weights.
She’s got her ups and downs in life like everyone else in this beautiful world. And let me tell you despite it all, she’s the person who is there every time. Dependable, trustworthy, genuine. Over the past years, as I have become real friends with Sumer, I not only am blessed with her as a friend in my life, but as another “Aunt” for my kids (whom they love and look up too). Sumer has been growing in her personal life, stretching out of some comfort zones in order to help herself become a better person than she already is.
We all have our little “world” that we feel comfortable and safe in; but in order to grow we need to stretch beyond that world. Beyond our comfort and safety zones. If we don’t, our lives remain the same.
Today, Sumer continues her healthy journey with her best friend and the many other friends she has gained along the way. She workouts regularly and when not training with me she utilizes the MAB FIT OPT to kick her butt! Obstacles and road blocks sometimes get in the way, but they are only temporary. Change your perspective and you’ll figure out a way to succeed!
Her passion is creating healthy foods that taste phenomenal (I can attest to this being true), working out, running, spending time with friends, traveling, and enjoying this life!
Congratulations Sumer! You are June’s SPOTLIGHT CHALLENGE WINNER!
DO THE WORK!
