Injury Update, Adjusting Food Intake, Mindset, Plans

Hi! In this video, I talk about my injury - how it happened, how I’m adjusting, plans moving forward, and other topics. I do have two training videos that were recorded before the injury, and those will be out soon.

I plan to record some upper body workouts, cooking/meal prep, and some talking videos. If there’s something specific you’d like to see, please let me know!

Injuries happen to all of us at some point. If there’s a lesson learned or if we’re able to see the opportunities within it, it will be an overall gain. #womensfitness #womenshealth #fitfam #womenempowerment

Hearing your voice, full of emotion, touches my soul. It will be a long and hard road, as you say, both physically and mentally, but you are strong, you are brave, you are Erin!!! Let us never forget that.

You are a spectacular powerhouse in body and mind. Life has many chapters; this is just another one in the story of you. I love that you are turning your attention to learning and playing your violin. These are things you may not have had time for until now. Godspeed! ❤

[vanessatanaka]

Get well soon Erin. You are very inspiring ❤ you are still my Wonder Women 💪🏼

Oh, bless your heart, I am so sorry to hear about your injury! I myself am recovering from a nasty concussion. The main thing I've learned from this 'setback' is that "You have more than you know, " and now, it's time to rely and put to good use the 'mindset' you've used to get this far. I will pray for your renewed good health. To me, these troubles are a "wake-up" call and time for introspection and making new decisions about where you are going in life. Amen sister, Godspeed

Sorry to hear about your injury Erin. I'm 60 and just getting back to 100% this year from a serious leg injury 5 years ago. Age takes a toll on muscle loss, etc. One day at a time lady, one day at a time. Wishing you well and a complete if not speedy recovery. Do it right, don't do it twice.

You are an amazing example of woman! Wishing you soon recovery ❤️🙏

I injured myself last December (cervical herniated discs, which triggered degenerative neck issues). I am still not training my upper body, but I have finally accepted it. I was in denial for a few months, and then the whole mourning period of having to change my yearly goals, and come to terms with the fact I might never get back to aerial dancing. These days I am much more positive, and focusing on other dreams.

This video is awesome. I think it will really help others who may get injured. I feel like there is not enough out there regarding mental health in relation to injuries and sports/dream disruptions. Thank you for sharing your story. Can't wait to see what you decide to share.

Erin, you keep on inspiring me! Thank you for the reminder of training our mindset, especially when we are injured. I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery!

[gahoopertx]

You are FAR from an average person, you're an elite athlete. Of course you will make a full recovery soon! It will be amazing, but it won't be surprising.

[DennisAlexy]

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Love the videos! Stay positive!

Thanks Erin . Very inspirational especially what to eat on a rest day and mindset on dealing with set backs. I had an Acl injury 25 years ago and that never stopped me training. I goylt surgery only 2 years ago and now I can finally jump and side step without fear oh and ski. Get well soon x

My heart gos out to you! I recently broke my nose doing skull crushers with a 25 pound dumbbell…I’ve been lifting for 20 years. I knew better wasn’t gripping it. Thank you for this video. Sending you healing energy ❤️

[AndreaFloratos]

Thanks for your inspiration! Speedy recovery!❤

[NattyGirl]

You are awesome to think of other healthy hobbies! I had surgery and a rough recovery from going back to work too soon and fell into drinking and indulging in bad food.... I did have fun doing it, but now I'm paying the price! Get well soon, you got this!

Hi Erin, I know exactly how rough it is to get an injury on the lower body. For me, it came before I had even started bodybuilding, but the first set of physiotherapy exercises I had programmed was the start of my entire body recomp and now my passion for bodybuilding. I am 60% recovered from my knee injury now after 22 months in physical therapy. I have gotten hugely philosophical about what I CAN do even with this limitation and for me it’s been huge because realising my injury came from a weak lower half was hugely eye-opening and forced a total change in my way of life and even led me to your amazing videos.

I know you can get through this. It sounds like one hell of a nasty injury but you are one tough cookie and I admire your fighting and positive spirit. Stay strong, focus on the future and you’ll emerge from this even wiser and tougher! Love xx

P.S. I've always loved the saying, "Never waste a crisis" and I feel like injuries are a case in point.
