Healthy eats!

Foodie Sunday’s

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 ðŸĪŠ
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 ðŸ–Ī -T

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 💜
– 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 ðŸ–Ī – 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 ðŸĪ“ 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  Fat: 36g   Carbs: 36g   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…

    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!

    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  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.

    If you fail to prepare…. You are preparing to fail…

    Let it SINK IN….

    If you follow me on FB or Instagram you have probably seen me post about my #SUNDAYFUNDAYS which involve #MEALPREP.

    Maybe? Yes? Great!

    Meal Prep?

    People always ask why I do it and then once they see my results they ask me how.

    11159502_10155435667280545_4869205025034762291_n

    Dedication– harsh but truth.

    It is how it is done. It is honestly like being in a relationship with your diet and exercise. You wouldn’t cheat on your BF/GF, Husband/ Wife/Spouse Etc, why would you cheat on this?

    Simple– people say I don’t have time, it costs too much money, I don’t like eating the same things.

    WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP

    EXCUSES!

    If in between a 50hr work week, coaching, online classes and now CrossFit I find time to work out and meal prep, you my friends can too and I WILL HELP YOU!

    The first step is wanting to commit to being dedicated. You can not cancel on yourself, you have to be a straight #BOSS.

    Bosses don’t flake on their dreams and aspirations.

    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 🙂

    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 😛

    So below are some tips for when I am really busy and when I travel! Enjoy 🙂 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 🙂 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 😛

    mealprep

    I really like Hungry Girl Cook Books!

    imagesWE16HBS2

    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.
