Need a healthy and delicious appetizer for your Superbowl party? I often bring this little appy when I’m heading to a party to make sure that there is at least one healthy option.  Then I camp out by the cheese dip and jalapeño poppers (just kidding)! This is a very easy and tasty app that even my lentil and bean-hating husband really likes. Not only is it easy and tasty but it’s super healthy.  Take note, my fitness friends, lentils should be in your secret arsenal of muscle building weapons.  One cup of cooked lentils contains 18 grams of protein, 40 grams of slow digesting quality carbohydrates, 37% of your daily value of iron, 16g of fiber, but just 1g of fat. Lots of disease fighting nutrients too! Not too shabby, huh?Whip this lentil dip up by using 1 pkg of Trader Joe's cooked lentils, 1 container TJ’s bruschetta (or make your own), 1 container TJ’s crumbled feta (optional), chop up some fresh basil and mix it all up! Takes about 1 minute to prep! To be extra healthy, I like to eat it with cucumber slices instead of crackers. Delicious!#lentils #eatclean #eatcleantraindirty #healthyeating #healthymeals #fitness #weightloss #girlswithmuscle #fitchick #fitgirls #traderjoes #healthyfood #fitforce #vegetarian #Superbowl #partyfood #fitfam #healthyfoodporn #healthyliving #lowcal #weightlossjourney #partyfood #healthychoices #healthy #glutenfree

My favorite breakfast. A cup of steaming green tea in my favorite mug, egg whites, blackberries and  @daves_killer_bread with natural peanut butter and a sprinkle of chia seeds. If you haven't tried Dave's killer bread you haven't lived! I don't feel guilty eating this bread! It's packed with protein, fiber, and whole grains with no artificial anything. They claim it will rock my world. And it does! I enjoy 1 slice a day in the morning. My fav mug reminds me to embrace the moment, whatever that moment may be. See the light in everything. #fitness #fitnesslifestyle #eatclean #eatcleantraindirty #fitfam #fitgirl  #fitnessforlife #fitmama #makingachange #healthyliving #healthylifestyle

The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday.  Competing against others can be motivating for sure, but a more effective (and happiness boosting) desire is to be better than yourself.  Using the accomplishments of others can be great inspiration and motivation, but keep the focus on the real competition - YOU. Be the best version of yourself, not of someone else. Set goals to “compete” against yourself - push yourself to eat better, or get those ripped shoulders and defined legs you’ve always wanted.  Drive YOURSELF towards your greatness, don’t create unnecessary competition against others.  Strip away any self-imposed limitations and reach for what you want. Do it for yourself. You deserve it. You can do it!

Lean legs towel workout. Do 12 reps of each move, staying on the same leg. Then switch to the other leg. Complete 3 or 4 sets. Remember to contract your muscles as you come up and go slow. If you have a carpeted floor you can use paper or plastic plates. Have fun! #fitness #exercises #fitspo #workout #fittogether #workoutanywhere #homeworkout #bodyweightexercises #noexcuses #fitgirl #fitforce #weightloss  #fitnessforlife #fitmama #makingachange #fitgirlvideos

Add some fat torching kicks into your workout routine. Kicks will get your heart rate up and tone your core and legs. If you don't have access to a heavy bag, shadow kickboxing is a great workout too! #justmove #kickboxing #workout #boxing #title #titleboxing #fitspo #fitness #fitgirl #fitchick #tinybutmighty  #fitnessforlife #fitmama #makingachange @titleboxing
