I can’t believe thanksgiving has come and gone, we are only a month away from Christmas and I am starring down the hole at 36. I know…I know “you are young” “that is not old” blah blah blah. I know it is not old and while I do not feel young, it is more of being overwhelmed… I am still thankful.

I am thankful for the platforms I have to share my life and journey with everyone who follows me and supports me. I couldn’t do what I do without you. So big thank you to you all for following a long with me.

Trust me, I am very thankful to get to see 36, and that I can celebrate with those I love, but here is the thing… getting old causes me anxiety.

Is that just me?

Sometimes I feel like I am an old ass CD single stuck on repeat and it is a song that is boring and overplayed. The whole we go to work, we take care of others, we do our routines, we sleep, we wake up, rinse, repeat… who designed this shit. It is crazy… ever since 2020, when the world just shut down, I feel like I have just been surviving and not living. I miss experiencing life… truly romanticizing my life…. and while I lean harder into my spirituality when I have these feelings, ya girl is still anxious AF. BUT that is OKAY. We manage… unmedicated, caffeinated and completely unhinged, haha but you love me anyway. So while turning 36 is amazing, I am scared that I am missing out on life just doing the standard routine that has been so finely laid out for us.

So I am making a pact to myself to stop surviving in 2024 and start living… every moment… big, small, we are celebrating all that life has to offer. I am excited to see what this new chapter has to offer…. hopefully something worth blogging about.

Supplements and Skin Care

Now let’s get to the good stuff.
I have a built out morning and night skin care routine using all of my ClearStem products. Let’s start with my morning routine.
Cleanser: Gentle Clean is what I use to wash my face in the morning. It smells fantastic, like a fresh orange and it hydrates.
Serums: I use Bounce Back and Cellrenew. Bounceback is basically botox in a bottle. I just started using this because I refuse to get botox because of the cost haha but this concentrated stem cell formula has been proven to reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles as well as reverse scarring. Which I need because I have anxiety and I was a picker in my early age. Cellrenew helps balance oil production & regulate hormonal acne, plus it is perfect for all skin types.
Creams: For my eyes I use Bright Eyes Gel. It brightens and firms the skin around the eyes and you can even use it as an overnight lip treatment. Boom! For my face lotion I use HydraGlow which is super light weight and lays perfectly under my makeup!
Sunscreen: YOU BETTER BE PUTTING THIS ON haha– I never put sunscreen on as a teen and into my college years my skin took a toll. When I turned 30 and moved to a dry state I knew I needed to really focus on skin care and adding sunscreen was task one. You Are SunShine is a tinted sunscreen with SPF50+ in it. Non-oily and lays amazing under foundation or just wear it as a standalone it is fantastic.

Okay, now we are building our night routine. I use most of the above at night with the swap of a few serums.
Cleanser: Gentle Clean and VitaminScrub. I just shared how great gentle clean is but adding the scrub at night… 🤌🏼 It helps removes dead skin cells, and unclogs pores.
Serums: Clarity Serum is what I use at night. It helps get rid of blackheads and unclog pores plus dissolve away excess skin & oil. I love love this serum so much, it has help with my hormonal acne and keeping my skin so clean.
Creams: Same as I use in the morning I use HydraGlow at night to cap out my routine!

And now you have it too! I promise that you will love these products as well and I am excited to announce that I have a code to share with you too. Now you can also try out these great products and use my code “Team Fearless Fitness” to snag yourself a discount!
I recommend´ trying their bundles to start because it is better on the wallet 😀

Supplements!

Now let’s talk about supplements. I have talked about gut health and fitness for a long time on my blog and I have been searching for the best company to help with that. About 2 years ago I started using 1Up Nutrition for my Greens & Reds supplement to help with gut health and it has helped me so much with not feeling bloated, keeping me regular and it tastes amazing! Which is so rare for greens powder IMO.
All of their products are fantastic– there is not one I wouldn’t recommend but let’s talk about the ones I use most frequently.

And surprise!!! After over 2 years of using 1Up Nutrition, I am finally part of the crew and you get to snag a discount to try it yourself. Use code “Team Fearless Fitness” at check out for 20% off your order every time!

Partnering with brands I love to bring you some sweet discounts is icing on the cake. I wouldn’t share or recommend anything I do not personally use and love and I thank each of you that support me by using my code when you shop. Plus both companies that I am obsessed on have amazing founders with great stories and I encourage you to check them out.

If you try out any skin care or supplements let me know, I would love to hear what you think! Next time we chat I am hoping to share some excited fitness news and some fall finds!

Why I am giving up my Apple Watch for Workouts

Does your fitness tracker give you anxiety? Does it make you feel bad?
Trust me, you are not alone.

I find myself stressed each time that reminder pops up on my watch “Check your rings” “focus on your move goal”... especially on a rest day. I used to never take rest days and would obsess over making sure to close all my rings at all costs. My body and mental health paid the price.

Saturday, I woke up to my watch being dead right before my workout and it upset me so much that I thought about quitting my workout. I didn’t but that is the mentality I was in. I got to thinking, why do I even care about this damn watch? It does not do anything for performance, it is just an annoying reminder for me to close rings no matter how I feel. It is a great utility watch, it tells time, I can read messages or answer calls, control my music on walks, view my calendar but from a fitness perspective, it is not beneficial and does not serve any real purpose from a performance perspective so why do I care so much about wearing it during workouts?

The purpose of my apple watch was to be able to track workouts, but the accuracy of an apple watch is not accurate for performance, IMO so I am ditching my apple watch for fitness and looking into a new tracker that takes a different approach to workouts, sleep and overall health.

I have not purchased this band yet so can not give a review but it is a popular tracker that is going to do more than just track my workouts. It is going to analyze and dive deep into my sleep habits, training and provide actionable insights on how I can train smarter and hit my fitness goals. A big thing about my apple watch that I dislike is that it does not have the ability to coach you through recovery and the constant pressure of “closing rings” doesn’t support a recovery/ rest mindset and this band does.

I plan on purchasing this new band in the next few weeks and will use it to share how it is improving my relationship with the idea of recovery and also how it is helping me optimize my workouts. I am excited to focus on health, fitness and recovery that benefits my mental health.

Stay tuned for a product review soon!

Until next time! You are enough, you are doing your best– stay fearless 🖤 -T

She remembered who she was… and the game changed.

She remembered who she was… and the game changed.

Here is the thing:

This past year I have been through hell and back; yet I have risen to the top of my game and there is absolutely no fucking way I am looking back. 

Heart break, depression, stress, life changes and eating disorders. I have experienced it all and yet, I refuse to let that define me or kick me off my game. 

With 16 days left in 2019, I intend to make it the best ever, leaving the negative in the past and I challenge you to do the same. 

Know everyday will not be filled with rainbows and butterflies but if you are dealing with challenges, know that it is life and it goes on. Accept with gratitude and allow yourself to see beyond the surface of what is occurring in your life.

One thing I am thankful for is the human body and its ability to preserver under the most traumatizing and stressful circumstances. It is one thing I am very grateful for and why I have chosen to not only share my journey with you but to shift my mind set, focus on self love, dedicate myself to my fitness goals and get right with my nutrition.

Chase your dreams… you just might catch one!

There was a time I would start a program and give up– not because it was hard, because I have MAJOR workout A.D.D.

I just got bored. If you know me, I need to be doing the most– at all times, so my workouts can not be anything short of just that.

I started my 80 Day Obsession journey January 15th and Sh*t– Tomorrow is day 51, the start of Phase 3! I can’t even believe the progress I am seeing.

Pumped my sister pushed me all weekend– even did a modified version of 18.2 with me at Crunch!

Sister
Sweaty post gym selfie!

It has not been easy– and I have had some times where I fell off the wagon.  .  .

(cough cough– I like donuts)

My sister and I had an amazing little visit and a trip to Bad Bakers in Roseville, Ca

Coffee.jpg

I mean $ can’t buy you happiness but it can buy your donuts and lavender lattes, which is kinda the same thing!

IMG_0030
I mean I love Coffee… and donuts.

We also made a pit stop at Small Cakes in Roseville/Rocklin, Ca where the most yummy #GlutenFree Cupcakes were devoured. Yummy, chocolate decadence in my tummy 🙂 If you are in need of a coffee pick me up and a sweet treat, Grab a coffee at Shady Coffee and Tea, then stroll over to Bad Bakers or Small Cakes to top off your sweet tooth!

 

So.  .  .  . after my tour of sweetness this weekend, it is back on track for me– chasing that dream to complete this 80 day program!

First stop was completing 18.3, scaled of course because your girl does not have her muscle ups ring or bar. . . almost though so watch out world.

I like to call 18.3 the #GetReadyToPeeYourPantsWOD cause dont BS ya’ll know it is true… and I am not gonna lie #ItHappened haha #NoShame #HatersCanHate

18.3 WOD:

2 Rounds- 14 min Time Cap- Scaled

100 Single Unders

20 Overhead squats

100 Single Unders

12 Chin to Bar Pull Ups

100 Single Unders

20 Dumbbell (20 lbs) Snatches

100 Single Unders

12 Chin to Bar Pull Ups

I completed 799 reps in the 14 min time cap… looking back if I didn’t feel like I was pissing myself every 10 seconds I am sure I could have finished the last three movements but… when you can’t make it anymore you… just can’t hahaha. I mean… whatever, I gave it my all after a 2.5 hour drive home in post sugar coma!

My girls– remember… you give 100% and have no regrets. EVER. And do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

Well once I was done with that ish… it was time to continue into this meal prep for the week and I am so excited but also was tired AF so sheet pans became my best friend!

My meal plan this week is outlined below:

2018 is here and the Universe has your back!

Well… thank the skies that 2017 has since left us. I finally feel like I am getting back into the groove I had been out of all of last year.

Who else feels that way?

Since the year has started, a lot has happened:

First, I started a new workout program called 80 Day Obsession… which you can guess I am #Obsessed with.

Second, I have been focusing more on self love, self reflection, meditation and finding the right paths to live a better, healthier, more fulfilling life. It has been an amazing journey thus far. I am excited to share each upcoming experience with you!

Third, I have lost 10 lbs since the beginning of this year. Really focusing on my nutrition, fueling my body with whole foods and making sure to eat for performance and not out of boredom.

Last, it is the open season and I have once again joined the 2018 CrossFit Games Open! I feel 100% better this year but still have yet to accomplish all the olympic moves I need to participate comfortably at Rx so Scaled it is! This year, it will be the year that we train harder though!

Day 2 of making the shift!

Now this is what I am talking about! Last night sleep pattern was sh***y beyond belief. I was anxious, waking up every hour on the hour and just uncomfortable. A part of this is probably due to my body adjusting back to the time change, the heat and poor ass air flow in my bedroom. BUT NOTHING WAS GONNA STOP MY WORKOUT!

5:30am hit and it was on– Strength 25, that is 25 minutes of heart pumping weights and body weight exercises. You think you can’t work up a sweat… a picture can prove that statement wrong AF

.day 2 pic 5

See– I wasn’t lying. Sweaty AF!

I feel like I was on fire! Obviously I needed to refuel with some Shakeology. I have been drinking this amazing Horchata Cafe Late, a recipe I got to sample at our #CoachSummit event in #NOLA this past weekend! Recipe below!

day 2 pic 4

12 ounces Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract 

1 Tsp Cinnamon

1 packet Vegan Cafe Late Shakeology

Mix in shaker cup and enjoy! 

Literally amazing! I make sure to fuel my body with the right foods and supplements that benefit both my Beachbody and CrossFit workouts.

Speaking of Supplements!

I tend to use quite a few so lets chat about what is on my docket these days:

The first thing you will see below is my Evogen Carnigen Fat Stack— I use this during fasted cardio sessions to help burn fat. This SHRED-Fast Stack is best used in a fasted-cardio state to accelrate fat loss by utilizing stored body fat for energy. Typically I use the  SHRED-Fast Stack with a H.I.I.T. training program, like Shift Shop.

Next you see my Shakeology, obviously I have talked endlessly about this amazing superfood protein shake. It is my go to for all my vitamins, minerals etc. It truly is the most amazing product.

Next are my BCAAs, which I use for recovery. BCAAs play a significant role in building and repairing muscle after a workout, and also act as a “signal” to your muscles that nutrients are available for increasing muscle mass. This is my favorite brand of BCAAs! The flavor is amaze!

As far as pre workout consist of, I have gone through a few different brands– I am currently cycling through Loco, Fitmiss and uplift– Loco literally makes me insane, great for AM workouts but at night I am on speed basically. Fitmiss is my go to, uplift is a close second for PM workouts. I have tried Beachbody energize but because it is so natural, it doesn’t have a big enough pump for me but is great for a beginner supplement user!

day 2 pic 6

These supplements help get me through both my AM and PM workouts, especially when my #CrossFit WODs look like this:

Day2 pic1

After a long day of work and training you have to make sure you are fueling your body with appropriate macros, below is a sample of my meals for today! I will post a full meal plan of week 2 soon!

So Day 2 is in the books, and now it is time to tackle some homework before I am off to bed! Definitely feeling a little sore so hooking up my TENS unit to get some much needed muscle relief!

Making the SHIFT

After a long needed hiatus, Team Fearless Fitness is back!

I made the announcement today to all my clients, new and old, IT IS ON.

No more excuses. No more fueling my body with crap and NO MORE shit talking my self-reflection. < That is something I was doing far to often, and it stops today.

This journey I will be focusing on loving every part of me, and at every stage. I was a little nervous to post these before photos and I was going to wait until my 3 week transformation arrived but, F that nonsense. It is time to OWN up to the fact that

I FELL OFF THE WAGON… and you know what… it is okay.

I am back and I WILL NOT QUIT— and neither will you!

So with Team Fearless Fitness and me as your Coach, being back at it– that means there is a challenge ahead of us! July 24th I kick off week 2 of SHIFT SHOP and open up a challenge group for NEW and OLD clients to join. You don’t have to be doing a Beachbody program or a personal training client of mine but you DO have to commit to me as a coach.

That means, 100% motivated, 100% goal driven and 100% greatness unleashed!

shift shop motivated AF

Are you up for the challenge?

Good, I was hoping you would say Yes! So here is the deal. I am going to detail each day of my programming for SHIFT SHOP coach test group on the blog and if you would like to be apart of our ACCOUNTABILITY CHALLENGE than drop a comment below with the words, “I AM IN” or simply email me at CoachTina.TeamFearlessFitness@gmail.com with the Subject “I AM IN”. From there I will get you signed up and into our team group!

#NOMOREEXCUSES #DecideCommitSuccede

So the programming I am tackling… SHIFT SHOP: It is a unique program starts you off slow with 25-minute workouts in Week 1. Then the time gradually increases to 35-minute workouts in Week 2, and 45-minute workouts in Week 3.

Day 1 for me consisted of meal prepping, measurements and of course… Workout #1.

shift shop pic2

As mentioned, I wasn’t going to post these before pics but in order to hold myself accountable I am blasting this ish all over the internet. Again, love your self at every stage and know your goal is insight…

After tracking my measurements and taking my dreaded before pics, I crushed workout #1– Speed 25! It literally kicked my ass. I was drenched in sweat from my head to my nose, my shirt was dripping, my legs were on fire and more than once I thought about stoping but I didn’t and it was only 25 minutes!

ShiftShop Day 1 pic

I refueled my self ASAP with my amazing, superfoods shake, a banana and off I went. The crazy thing is I am pairing this workout with CrossFit… so today was also the 7’s… and if you have never done CrossFit or you have any never done the 7’s… it was like hell on earth.

The 7’s consist of: 7 HSPU, 7 Thrusters @85lbs, 7K2E, 7 Deadlifts @125lbs, 7 Burpees, 7RKBS, 7 Pull Ups….7 rounds for time…. I finished at 28:48…. the time cap was 38minutes. I was dead.

Again, refueling my body with BCAA’s, and a bomb meal. Tonight I will ROMWOD before bed to make sure I am stretched out and it is up and early again for my Day 2 of SHIFT SHOP!

I am alive, feeling motivated AF and ready to crush these next 3 weeks! I hope you choose to jump on this journey with me! It would be great to have some accountability buddies along the way! Who knows…. you might even find that you too want to “MAKE THE SHIFT” 

Until tomorrow! – Coach Tina
