Hey friends!
This is my turkey chili recipe - totally doable in a crockpot for those busy evenings! This is taken from the book, FIXATE, by Autumn Calabrese and it's totally 21 day fix approved.
2 tsp. extra virgin organic coconut oil, melted
1 medium chopped onion
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound cooked 93% lean ground turkey breast (or lean ground grass-fed beef)
2 cans kidney beans drained (or pinto beans)
1 can organic diced tomatoes, no salt added
1 cup red wine
1 tbsp ground chili powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 tsp crumbled goat cheese
1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat
2. Add onion, peppers, cook - stirring occasionally
3. Add garlic, cook
4. Add turkey, beans, tomoatoes, wine, chili powder, salt, and red pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, gently boil, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes or until slightly thickened.
5. Evenly divide between six serving bowls.
Crockpot method - dump all ingredients in a crock pot and put on low for 6 to 8 hours :)

Love Yourself
I was going to wait to post this.
I was going to make a video. (and I still probably will.) (and actually... I did...you can find that here...)
I was going to just simply take a photo.
I was going to do so many things to get this message across, but the only thing I can think of that would possibly work would be too write out the words, the feels.
As I've been on this health and fitness journey, a word I would never use to describe it is EASY. It's just not - it's hard, it's difficult, it's tempting, it's rigorous...really. It is.
My team was at a dinner and we were discussing different themes for challenge groups and because February is the month of love, we were talking about love and we were like...LOVE YOURSELF. We struggle with this daily.
I mean, let's be real, we got into this health and fitness business because we weren't loving ourselves, we weren't enjoying the way we looked, we weren't happy. Loving yourself is such a hard concept, such a weird...selfish sounding...concept.
But in reality, it's the most vital part of being happy and healthy - loving yourself!
You need to love your body in order to want to feed it healthy.
You need to love your heart in order to want to exercise.
You need to love yourself in order to put yourself through a mental and physical battle each morning to be the healthiest and best you possible!
Why stop before you even start? Why lose out on a chance without even giving it a shot?
LOVE yourself enough.
and if you'd like to join my group starting on February 8th - go here!
