Why I am giving up my Apple Watch for Workouts

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

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

A short new month 🖤

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

We made it to February!
Seriously January felt like it was 365 days long… and the below freezing temperatures are not helping much. I am ready for Spring already.

With the new month starting this week I am excited to start some new projects, one being getting my YouTube up and running again. I have talked to a few people who miss my recipes being filmed and shared there. They feel it is easier to follow by listening a long.

To be honest, I just have not been myself the last few years. I feel like I have been struggling with my identity and have lacked a lot of confidence in making these videos where I am talking and walking you through recipes. On top of that, my depression has kicked my ass more times than once so most of my meal preps are boring and not creative so I do not feel inspired to be in front of the camera. I am working on changing that– and it might feel weird for me to do that again… so bare with me.

While I begin to film content for my channel again, I wanted to share an old favorite of mine.

I traveled to Atlanta years ago and I experience the most amazing Chicken and Waffles. It was so damn good, it made me want to move there. I had been on a cut when I got the craving for this yummy dish and knew I wanted to make a version that was higher in protein and fit my macros better, so I did!
Check out the recipe on my channel: Team Fearless Fitness Chicken and Waffles

And if you are new to visiting us on the YouTube, please like, subscribe and share so that your friends can enjoy all of my weirdness on the Team Fearless Fitness channel.

That is all for now!

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

Foodie Sunday’s

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

Not much to report this week except for almost breaking my damn neck snowboarding Friday… Worth it to get that not so great of footage of us bombing down the beginner hill 🤪
Full video is on my IG/TikTok. I mean, how do people really use selfie sticks down the mountain– takes some serious talent.

We cooked some pretty amazing meal prep’s this week so wanted to bring you 2 recipes that are SUPER easy to cook and very yummy to eat.
I am calling this Chicken Sausage and Veggies over Basmati Rice. Honestly the easiest and cost effective meal for the week.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup basmati rice
– 1 package of chicken sausage links
-1 bag of mixed frozen veggies
– 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
– 1 Tsp Coconut Aminos
– 1 Tbsp Sriracha

Directions:
1. Cook rice according to your package. I used a rice cooker but you can use microwaveable rice, it makes the cook time 100% quicker
2. Cut up chicken sausage and cook in air fryer at 400 for 8 mins (You can cook on the stove)
3. Microwave veggies in their bag according to package directions
4. Once rice is cooked, dump rice and veggies into a bowl. Mix in soy sauce, aminos and sriracha
5. Separate into 4 separate meal prep containers and top with equal amounts of chicken sausage
DONE!
Makes 4, Macros: 288 Calories, 23g Carbs, 11g Fat, 17g Protein


Now this one, I made for dinner, but I did not track the macros because I was in a hurry.
Ground Chicken pasta with Kale and Alfredo Sauce.

Ingredients:
– 1 lb pack of ground chicken
-1 box of Banza Protein Pasta
– 1 Jar of Basil Alfredo Sauce
– 3 Cups of Kale
– 2 cups of Mushrooms sliced
– Red pepper flakes/ Feta / Parmesan cheese for topping

Directions:
– Cook ground chicken until 3/4 way cooked, add mushrooms and saute until tender
– While chicken is cooking, cook pasta according to package directions
– Once chicken is cooked through, add the kale and cover until wilted, about 2 mins, stir and then cover until pasta is done
– Once pasta is done, drain and add the pasta back to your pan
– Stir in chicken mixture and add alfredo sauce, let simmer until heated throughout, about 2-4 mins
– Serve and top with cheese and red pepper flakes.

Short but packed with lots of flavor in this episode. I was thinking of going back to filming my meal preps and my dinners and posting them to my Youtube. Thoughts? Would we like those to come back?

If so, drop a comment or send me a message on the social platforms and we can see how we can get creative with it!

Hope you enjoy these recipes and if you try it please let me know how you liked it!

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

2022 What a Banger

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

Happy New Year Fam!
It has been a whirlwind these last few weeks. I think the last time you heard from me, I had all these plans for the winter break… well my body had other plans and I came down with the RONA… again… on christmas eve. Covid, the gift that keeps on giving. I was healthy by New Years though so we did not ring in 2023 isolated and alone, thank god.
Annnnnd, Binks has returned home after living with his Grandma for the last 10+ years. Now that his mamma finally has a house of her own, he gets to live his life with me, the kidless millennial who is going to try to put sweaters on him.
He is like 76 in human years, wild huh; he is still trying to get comfortable in his new house haha little grumpy pants.

2022 was a banger of memories though— from hiking (I was 13 miles shy of my 100 mile goal!) to exploring caves underwater, concerts and off roading in Yoshi… there were some sad moments, lots of self reflection, lots of change. Even though I am very thankful for this life, and the year I have had, I feel like this year is going to be THE year. 2020 was a shit show, 2021 was a mix of a shit show, 2022 was trying to find your footing again and now 2023 is going to be the year we thrive. At least that is what I am manifesting.

2023 Goals 💜
– Hike 100 miles (For reals this time)
– Focus more on self care, my nutrition and building healthy habits
– Be more social (but on my terms cause anxiety)
– Organize and declutter spaces in my house. Get rid of things that I do not need, do not serve a purpose or make me feel any negative emotion
– Adventure more– travel to new places, take more weekend trips
– Plan more dates that are not just a night out to dinner, something deeper, I really want to do a pottery class (2023 the year of the crafty bitch)
– Finish remodeling the garage and basement (stretch goal here)
I am sure I will add to this list over time but these are things that are becoming really important for me in 2023.
What are your 2023 goals? Drop them in the comments below!

Since kicking off the new year, I have been really dialing in on my nutrition and fitness. I have been prepping and logging my food. I actually just got done meal prepping my lunch as I type this out… and that means you get a new recipe from your girl. It has filled the house with some great aromatics and I feel like I am in Italy. Thank me later.

I am not sure what to call this but let’s just call it a Creamy Rose Turkey Bake with Rice.

Ingredients:
* 1 Jar of Creamy Rose Pasta Sauce which is just Tomato and Cream so you can find something similar if you are not near a Kroger store.
* 3 small zucchini sliced
* 1 lb of ground Turkey 93/7 is what I use but use what you like, however it will change the macros
* 1 bag of basmati microwaveable rice because I am lazy, but you can use any rice you would prefer
* Seasonings (italian, garlic salt)

Directions:
1. Cook & season ground turkey until almost done
2. While turkey is browning, slice your zucchini
3. Once turkey is about 1/2 to 3/4 cooked, add zucchini, cook about 4-5 mins or until the zucchini is al dente
4. Once cooked through, add sauce, simmer about 3-4 mins
5. While the sauce is simmering, cook rice in microwave according to package
6. prepare your meal prep– mine made 4, so I split the rice, and the mixture into 4 class dishes, let cool then store in fridge.

MACROS: 317 calories 28g net carbs, 12g fat, 24g protein

Since food is my love language… and exploring new places is on my goal list this year, we ventured up to Salt Lake and tried a new hidden gem called Salt and Olive. It was by far, some of the best food I have had in Utah. The bread is to die for. The service was :: Chef’s Kiss::
What we ate:
* House Bread
* Caesar Salad
* Truffle Pizza
* Zeppole E Limone
What I drank:
* Blackberry Brambler AKA Lady Pleaser (and that it did) 😉


If you are local or just visiting SLC, I highly recommend checking this place out.

Well that is all she wrote for the start of 2023! Can’t wait to share all our adventures and hit goals & milestones together.

Where should we go first this year???

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

Day 2 of making the shift!

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

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!

What was your workout today?

Have you had your #GirlBossMoment? 

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

I planned my whole career out.. To be in the medical field. So it was no surprise that I found my job as an EMT, now if you would tell me that it would be short lived and I would be facing having a bilateral segmental masectamy a year later… I would have told you your an idiot and to get off web MD. 
But that’s how it panned out. My dream of helping people was short lived when I realized I needed to start thinking of how I was going to lift myself off the couch let alone carry the weight of someone else. I didn’t think I could help anyone.
Then came the coaching opportunity: I put all my efforts into my business as a Coach. What was I thinking?! I was totally helping people! Motivating, inspiring, showing them that no matter the struggle there is always a light.
That’s when I had my big #GirlBossMoment 
I didn’t have to be an EMT, a medic a nurse or a doctor to help people. I just have to be ME! 
I dove deep into personal development and motivational videos and out came Team Fearless Fitness. 
There are so many influences who make coaching possible for me, our entire team of mentors and Beachbody staff who believe in us and what we are doing to truly help others. 
My goal in my team is to inspire others to live the life they want to regardless of the struggles. 
So tell me… Have you had your #GirlBossMoment yet?! 
Post below! Or message me I want to know 💋

From high up in the sky… We get real on the Blog today!

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

Hey Fitfam! Things are interesting when you are blogging from 31,000 feet! You really do get to see a whole lot. Literally.

Sun. Clouds. Blue Skies. Everything seems much calmer… more peaceful up here. You really do get to focus on the beauty that the earth has to offer.

The funny thing is I travel quiet often. So often that, TSA lines, baggage check, boarding waiting times and delays are the norm for me. It is almost second nature; I do not even need to think half the time because flying is so natural. The crazy part is it use to be such an anxiety for me.

Now I just observe. I watch people, I wonder where they are going, where they are coming from. I talk to people, I get to know people and I am helpful… why? Because perhaps they have the same anxiety I once had and maybe I just by me helping or a conversation they are put at ease.

Now normally on the blogs we would rap out about the week, what happened in the fitness world for Team Fearless Fitness etc. But tonight I am going to shift the light on something very real and I do hope that you continue to read it because the idea behind it is that in life we have choices. We have choices to stand by and watch or to help people in need. Sometimes we help people because we have to and sometimes we help people because we can and those choices define who we are as individuals.

Today as I boarded my United 737, I had premier access. Yep, first on the plane, didn’t have to check my bag (thank god) I got to get settled in to my seat and calm myself with my lavender oil before take off. All was right in the world.

I watched as the people walked past, anxiously looking to find over head bin space as the plane was full. Shocker for being a 6am flight but expected. Again, wondering where they were going, coming from etc.

A group of people were now in front of me. A lady had asked the girl across if she wanted the window seat which she did not and then proceeded to ask me. I unfortunately can not have the window seat either. For me it is more medically driven and less of a preference so politely had to decline. I could tell there was something more to that request though.

The lady took her seat in the window to my left and her group was struggling to understand the boarding process. I was a bit confused as I typically it is pretty self explanatory… walk, put your bag up, sit down. Move on. But then it hit me… the struggle was one, due to the fact half of her group was not of height to reach the bins and two, some where special needs individuals. Now my heart sank a bit. Not only was her family divided into 3 different rows but no one was helping these people place their luggage up at the top bin. The girl to my left just moved and was starring at them in disgust. The people behind them were getting pissed and all along I was growing so frustrated because to watch this was breaking my heart.

So… I unhook my belt, unstrap my beats, and at this point I am so pissed at this girl next to me for not helping as she was already up. The funny thing is I looked at her as I am doing this, (straight out of Compton blaring out my head phones) and I ask them if I can help. Of course the say yes, and I am able to get everyone’s bag up. I turn around and one person is still having problems… finally a United Captain who had jumped on our flight decided to help as well.

Throughout my flight I assisted in any way I could. Explaining how certain things worked, flashing a smile to let them know things were OK when we hit some rough turbulence etc. Why? Maybe because it is in my nature. Maybe because I hold a special place in my heart for people who have to face challenges like this. Maybe because my sister is a special needs teacher. Maybe because that is just what you are supposed to fucking do in life is help people who need it—regardless of who what or where you might be.

The purpose of me sharing this is to show the world two things:

1: Look around you- take time to open your eyes and spot people who might need you even if they do not know it. One tiny thing can make a large difference.

  1. Bringing this back to the fitness and health aspect, help yourself and do right for yourself. The next time you don’t want to do those pull ups, that run, press play on that workout. Think of this story. Think of how some people do not have the chance and can not do the things that you and I are so blessed to still be able to do.

Like I said, tonight we are getting real on the blog. I hope that this inspires you to help others, to pay it forward and to do good in the world because it can truly be so messed up.

I am making my way into State College for the week! I hope everyone has a fantastic Sunday! Stay positive, lift others #LiveLifeBeFearless!

Follow us on FB and IG for live updates during our PA trip!

That is all for now!

XOXO
