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… ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ 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 recommendยด trying their bundles to start because it is better on the wallet ๐Ÿ˜€

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 bestโ€“ stay fearlessย ๐Ÿ–ค -T

A short new month ๐Ÿ–ค

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 bestโ€“ stay fearlessย ๐Ÿ–คย -T

Adventure Awaits · Healthy eats!

2022 What a Banger

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 ๐Ÿ’œ
– 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) ๐Ÿ˜‰


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 bestโ€“ stay fearlessย ๐Ÿ–ค – T

Weekends in Your 30s (more like mid 30s)

Friday’s are lit in your 30s… In case you didn’t know…

Covid pretty much ruined any social skills I had and pushed me into a life of introvertness. Now, my Friday nights consist of a Peloton workout, a DoorDash order and Animal Crossing. IYKYK.

    But I actually do not mind being curled up with my switch and this past Friday we played the Animal Crossing Monopoly game and it was actually pretty fun, it was not like typical monopoly so it would be easy for kids to navigate. If you play ACNH on switch though, drop a comment with your friend code so we can visit each other’s island ๐Ÿค“ I have all the dogs and cats (NO RAYMOND’S… not a fan lol, but I have a Lucky and a Bones!)

    Saturdays are for grocery shopping and errands now a days.

    I like to plan my meals for the week Saturday mornings while I am relaxing and unwinding from the week that probably ran me over twice. I do not prep my food like I used to, working from home 3-4 days a week allows me time to eat more of my meals fresh so I only prep lunch these days.

    Breakfast:

    • Egg Sandos: If you are curious what my Egg Sandwiches are, I can drop the recipe next week– just let me know in the comments!
    • On days I go into the office I like something quick. I will usually do 2 frozen kodiak waffles or some cereal (since it has been pumpkin season I was really into the Pumpkin Spice Special K)

    Lunch:

    • Cajun Chicken Rice Bakes: Dropping the recipe below!

    Dinner:

    I make dinner for the fam every night and it is always cooked night of so I never meal prep for dinner now. You can make any of these meals into prep though, it just takes some time! Plus it is all yummy and fits into your macros so you are not eating boring food.

    • Sunday: Chipotle Chicken with Garlic Noodles
    • Monday: Turkey Kielbasa with roasted zucchini, asparagus and wild rice with quinoa
    • Tuesday: Chicken Burrito Bowls
    • Wednesday: Chicken Pesto Protein Pasta
    • Thursday: We do not eat turkey or red meat so for Thanksgiving we are doing Herb Roasted Chicken, my famous stuffing, mashed potatoes, parmesan green beans and salad
    • Friday: This is our Takeout/ Doordash night. No cooking for me!

    Now, what you have been waiting for. The Lunch Prep recipe!

    MACROS:
    Calories: 309
    Protein 32g Net Carbs 13g Fat13g

    You will be able to find the video on my Tik Tok by tomorrow but the recipe is below:

    Ingredients:

    • 3 medium chicken breast, diced
    • 1 bunch of asparagus
    • 1 medium zucchini chopped
    • 12oz of chicken broth low sodium
    • 8 TBSP of uncooked basmati rice
    • 3 TBSP of Trader Joe’s Chili Onion Crunch
    • Seasonings: Slap ya mamma spice, smoked paprika, garlic salt, green goddess (measure with your heart)

    Directions:

    1. Pre-heat oven to 375*
    2. Prep your chicken (wash, pat dry, trim fat, season with spices above except the green goddess)
    3. Dice chicken into small cubes and set aside
    4. Dice your zucchini and asparagus up, season with green goddess and set aside
    5. Assemble the glass pyrex bowls: in each bowl place 2Tbsp of rice and 2oz of broth (4 bowls total)
    6. Evenly split the chopped veggies amongst the 4 bowls
    7. Add .5-1 TBSP of Chili Crunch to each bowl
    8. Split the chicken evenly amongst bowls
    9. Top each both with another ounce of chicken broth
    10. Place in oven for 40 mins
    11. Remove from oven, bake for 10 more mins or until the chicken reads 165*
    12. Let cool completely before placing in fridge

    Enjoy! These have been so easy to make and you can play with so many recipes.

    Now Sunday is the Fun day!

    We spend Sunday at Church… The Church of Solitude… AKA snowboarding down a mountain. Living 30 mins away from the mountain is literally the dream. The resorts opened a week early last week and it was insane, a bit better today, lift lines were not as long thank the lord. I have been riding the same board for over 10 years now and I finally bought a new one, stay tuned for a review on it– set to arrive in December!

    I am not one for eating lunch at the resort though, and today I was craving a salad or some sort of healthy option… which UT is not that popular for. Again, IYKYK. Today we headed to Crisp & Green which IMO is similar to Sweet Green back home which I have been missing for 4 years!
    I got the #SquashGoals and sub for Feta and their Jalapeno dressing. TO DIE FOR. So if you are local, definitely check them out. Plus they are open on Sundays! The Macros for my bowl were: Cals: 600 ย Fat: 36gย  ย Carbs: 36gย  ย Protein: 37g

    Well that is all she wrote!
    Literally.

    Next week is my birthday and I am excited to share all of the things but for now…

    Transformation Tuesday!ย 

    I couldn’t be more proud of my mom. 

    She’s killing her results with CIZE and Really focusing on her nutrition, drinking Shakeology every day! 

    One thing that that’s crazy is she has lower back chronic pain and despite it debilitating her at times she never gave up, she pushes play as much as possible and always focuses on her goals. 

    We don’t live close so I’m able to coach her remotely and her support comes from our amazing team! She is continuing to crush goals and set new ones everyday and is a perfect example of what a fitness journey looks like! 

    For those who say I’m too old to workout or I can’t- you are wrong.

    For those who say I don’t know if I can find time- you are wrong.

    For those who say I live too far away for me to coach them- your wrong. 

    I’m letting the results speak for themselves! 

    This is achievable! You have to have the drive!

    I’m so proud of you mom! For pushing everyday, inspiring others and being the best!
