I never carry a purse and I feel like a dude.

I never carry a purse and I feel like dude.

Haha, what a line opener, but it is true!

How many women are with me? Maybe you have the kids and are juggling diaper bags and grabbing them by the neck, making sure they don’t run into the wall or a car.

Then there is me. . .

I leave the house every morning with the following in hand:

  • My coffee if I haven’t finished it
  • My cell phone if I don’t have a back pocket to snake it into
  • My 6-pack lunch bag
  • My extremely large and unnecessary crossfit gym bag
  • Last but not least my backpack which holds my work shit

That is 5-6 items in my arms as I walk down a flight of stairs in hopes not to die each morning. Picture that… no way in hell am I adding a purse to the mix. So a tiny (dirty AF) keychain wallet had made its way attached to my belt loop or keys.

Super trendy– said no one ever, well maybe in the 80’s. 

The trend of not carrying a purse to work somehow translated into my everyday life. I just love having my arms free–my hands free. Mainly because I like the freedom to do stupid shit, such as back squat my friends when I have been drinking (sorry Jim). So the gross keychain wallet stayed; that is until I discovered a company that made me feel like I was a girl again and still have the freedom of living my best life, purse free.

Penny Mae is all about living your life to its fullest without having the stress of worrying about your personal items. They have created every bag with your adventures in mind, so that you can have the ease and convenience to live MORE and worry LESS. Which is my motto as you all know!

Penny Mae has 3 really cute bags but my favorite is their Penny Mae Original, which I am rockin’ for my first Jazz Game!

The amazing thing about this bag, is the multiple pockets. It has inside credit card pockets which is perfect if you  do not want to carry a wallet and it fits a wallet if you do.

It is super soft, and made with faux leather and an interior nylon lining. Which I absolutely love!

I fit all kinds of stuff in mine! From keys, chapstick, make up, wallet, sunglasses and my cell phone. I even managed to sneak some movie snacks into it! I mean, I didn’t put any cookies into it but I got a protein bar in there.

I love that I can dress it up or down depending on the day. Below, I was running to see my massage therapist and it still looked cute AF!

In August I am off to Croatia for a long backroads trip and I am going to purchase their Abigail bag in black because it is so fashion and you can remove the strap if you want a cute little clutch for date night!

I have never been a fanny pack girl, but after rockin’ Penny Mae for the last two weeks I can say that I am absolutely sold and in love. I couldn’t imagine using anything else as my go to everyday bag (PSA: I am not being paid to say this– this is my honest review as always).

So if you are like me and hate purses I urge you to check out this cute little company. Toni is an amazing person and she has put so much love into her products, it absolutely shows. Thanks for making such cute products girl!

In other news, this week has been insane with work so we have not been able to explore as much as I would have liked but these next few weeks will bring some new posts so stay tuned! If you are not already following us on IG, headover and stay tuned to our stories, all the fun stuff happens there until we release a post.

Until next time, check out Penny Mae, be kind and stay fearless.

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!

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!

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 😬😉) 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!
