Day 1 done!

Well I made it through the day without wanting to eat my arm off! 

  
Day 1 finito! I’m excited to be on this journey and it wasn’t crazy hard because I get to eat real food!

I’m not starving myself of nutrients doing the refresh, I’m actually fueling it with amazing superfoods, antioxidants vitamins and minerals. 

My breakfast was yummy as always, snacks kept me food and the shakes had a lot of protein to supplement the lack of meat. 

Only 2 more days to go!!

   
 
I even started Day 1 of the 21 Day Fix and will continue to document my journey! Stay tuned for more!

Results… #DitchTheScale

Hey everyone!

It has been an amazing 30 days and I know most have been aware that I am doing the Masters Challenge– Beachbody’s Hammer and Chisel program! I am so excited, nervous and happy to be sharing these 30 day results with you!

Truly… this is always the hardest thing, putting yourself out there for people to see your journey but my goal is you are inspired to make health and fitness goals yourself and join me in helping you achieve them!

This program has not been easy by any means but it was a challenge I loved and continue to love every day. I still have 3o days to go until completion but here is what I learned so far.

  1. This is a marathon not a sprint.
  2. Results come when I work hard and when I don’t my results suffer.
  3. EATING RIGHT IS KEY TO SUCCESS– there were a few days where I fell off the wagon on my eating but I got right back on my horse.
  4. I learned to embrace the WTF moments: mainly at 4am when I was doing the workouts…but as soon as it is over I couldn’t be happier! It literally is 30-45 mins a day, why was I complaining. I embraced all of it though.
  5. I still have a long way to go– progress not perfection.

 

SO! That is what I learned so far in 30days– This program is absolutely amazing. It has everything I ever wanted in a training program. You build off of every level Strength, endurance and power and I feel so much strong.

Most people are into measurable results so let me give you an example of where I started vs today.

So Jan 4th I started the program a steady size 4, 147 lbs and my crap scale said 32% body fat. Today, February 1st, I am a size 2 (even those are big) but my thighs are too big for zeros (I am so ok with that ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜‰) I am 144.5 lbs and 28% body fat. Honestly the scale didn’t move much but I DO NOT CARE and you shouldn’t either. I am currently looking to be the leanest and meanest muscular machine! I won’t be 115 lbs ever because I love CrossFit and at 5’5″ that is just not possible. I do have 10 more lbs to go to be at my ideal weight but if I did not hit that weight and got to 15 -18% body fat I would be okay too.

The point of this is to show you that no matter what stage I am at, 147 pounds or 144.5 pounds, I love my body either way. I don’t workout because I hate my body or the way I look and you shouldn’t either! We workout because we love our body and we want to be the most healthiest, happiest we can be! So love yourself throughout your entire journey!

If you are interested in my results, talking more or joining our Team Fearless Fitness Beauty and Beast Challenge group please feel free to email me at CoachTina.TeamFearlessFitness@gmail.com or add me as a friend on FB and direct message me! I would love to connect and see how we can help you hit your goals.

THE RESULTS ARE IN: (apologize for the weird angles, no one was home to take my pics tonight so propped up books and selfie timer it was LOL)

Peace out!

Sunday’s are for…. (Fill in the blank)

You better have said meal prepping!

It is true! While Sunday’s are days of lots of fun things to do it is also the cap of our weekend. Monday comes quick… So be prepared.

I have been meal prepping a long time and I honestly feel it is the only way I stay on track. If I do not prep myself for the week it is just setting myself up for failure and the ease of giving into temptations…

A lot of my clients and followers express that they think of meal prepping but don’t do it because they are lost… well here are some tips on how to start becoming a MEAL PREP PRO.

  1. Set Goals and talk with your coach: If you have ย a coach, loop in with them. What are your desires? Weightless, Build muscle? Once you know what your goal is you can organize your meal plans to help you achieve that!
  2. Plan a head: Look at your week from either Monday to Friday or Monday to Sunday. It is your decision how many days you prep for. I start on Monday and prep until Friday and then restructure for the weekends.
    1. Figure out what events are happening, what your schedule is like and how much time you can dedicate to “cooking” what ever you can’t do, prep today (Sunday).
  3. Make your meal plan… See below my plan for this week: I am following a paleo version of the 21 DF: If you want more information on what I am eating and why we can always chat offline!

4. Make a grocery list AND STICK TO IT. (side note: don’t go shopping hungry… it is how bad things end up in your cart… trust me… i know). See my list below: i go through my cabinet and see what I have, anything I don’t have goes on the list…. nothing else in the cart… just what is on the list.


5. Bang out the Prep Work! Now you have all your foods home, what do you prep versus what can you make that day all depends on your schedule… See I work 6a – 4p and workout at 5p so I prep all my meals except dinner. The dinners I planned for this week all take under 30mins to prep so I know I will have time to do that without having to bulk prep dinner. So I structure my lunches into containers and use my 21DF portion containers to help measure my allotment per meal. If you do not have these containers measuring cups will do but stick to your allotted macros.


6. STICK TO THE PLAN: so now you are prepped for success but it is Tuesday and maybe you are bored of your salad and water for lunch. Don’t sabotage your hard work from Sunday on a 20 min burrito bloat. Trust me, compared to your goals and the success you will feel at the end of the week… it is not worth it.

Meal prepping is an art and in my opinion takes time to form into a routine but sticking with it every Sunday will help it become a part of your normal schedule. There are so many sites that can help give you awesome meal prep ideas, our blog included. You just have to carve out a little bit of time, throw on your creative thinking cap and get to planning.

It is all worth it in the end!

For more information on meal prepping or if you have questions please feel free to email me at CoachTina.TeamFearlessFitness@gmail.com. I am here for all your prep and fitness needs.

Bunnies don’t Lay Eggs…. but I ate all the Jelly Beans…

You had to just open this blog post because you either

1. Thought I had too much pre-workout

2. I have completely lost it

or 3. I yes in deed ate all of the Easter Jelly Beans….

I would have to say a little mixture of all three to be exact ๐Ÿ™‚

yes, I indulged this weekend in some yummy sour candy treats… they are haunting me as my boyfriend who doesn’t gain any weight, and I emphasize the ANY part, decided it was okay to bring this basket of sugar home. I am practicing self control. Key word– Practicing…

Which leads me to our topic tonight…

What are some of your best practices for staying on track?

Do you travel for work? Do you just work out a lot and not watch what you eat?

Do you manage your macro nutrients? What are your tricks to holding your self accountable?

I want to hear how you do it!

Most of you know that I constantly travel for work or I am just flat out busy. I do not have time to think about what dinner is going to be every night nor do I have time to make some gourmet thing. If I had it my way I would eat my life out of a jar of protein peanut butter… but that is not contusive to my training ๐Ÿ˜›

So below are some tips for when I am really busy and when I travel! Enjoy ๐Ÿ™‚ Feel free to email me with any questions at coachtina.teambeachbody@gmail.com

I’m off to see the world:

1. PLAN: Determine where I am staying, what restaurants are near by what foods I can eat what I won’t eat etc.

2. Pack my snacks for the plane: you can bring your own food on the plane so pick up some snack baggies from your local CVS or Target and pack them with Almonds, dried fruit, jerky, anything that is packed with protein and shelf stable. I also love bringing Quest Bars on the road with me.

3. DON’T forget your Protein Powder, Pre-Workout, and Shaker Bottle. These can be life savers.

4. Indulge but do not over do it. Have that piece of cake but go through the steps of asking your self if it is worth the extra work your going to need to do to burn those calories off. if it is, then have at it ๐Ÿ™‚ Don’t ever deprive yourself- That is when binging occurs.

5. WATCH YOUR  ALCHOL intake! It is the calorie killer. Try sipping on skinny cocktails or having a glass of red wine which has less sugar than white and better health benefits.

I am home– But I have NO TIME!

1. Breathe– there is always time, remember Rome was not built in a day but they worked on it everyday.

2. Find a day that works for you and Meal prep for at least 4 days. My day is Sunday. I meal prep my lunches and part of my breakfasts. I plan my Dinner schedule and plan 30min or less meals because I know I am busy busy! Rachel Ray is great at tackling 30min meals but try to meal swap as they are not always the best in terms of waist line friendly. NO OFFENSE Rach! I heart your food but my hips do too ๐Ÿ˜›

I really like Hungry Girl Cook Books!

3. Get a Coach (Like me) to help keep you accountable. I can send you meal plans recipes etc. But also be there for you when you feel like you are hitting that plateau. If I am not your coach lets talk, I have lots to offer!

4. Make a schedule and a plan. You have to make time to workout, to meal prep and to be healthy. If you don’t it leaves room for you to add in that fast food run, that happy hour etc. We all need to mingle and have fun but we also need to live a health life style balance.
