Fit Fridays: Meal Ideas + Tools for Weight Loss

Happy Friday! How is your fitness journey going? Any new meal ideas or work out tips that you'd like to share? Be sure to leave your comments below. I love hearing from you guys. Today I'm going to share a few of my favorite meal ideas and a few resources I use to stay on track!
First things first here are my "dimensions" as of March 1, 2015: Waist: 33.5," Stomach: 36,"and Weight: 172 lbs. This was the first day that I measured myself, so I'm not sure how many inches I've lost since I started this journey 5 weeks ago, but it shows in my pictures. ( I won't post those until I'm more confident. I still have uber back rolls and too much tummy.)Not sure how to weigh yourself? No problem! Use this graphic that I got from  FitnessFashion.com!

 

Meal Ideas:

Breakfast:
Yogurt (with flax or chia seeds) + fruit + fiber bar
I like to meal prep my yogurt with flax into small containers for breakfast. It's easy and convenient. In the mornings, I just grab some yogurt, an apple, and water. I don't eat fiber bars everyday, but I do like to indulge from time to time. I'm a huge fan of Pink Lady Apples!
Tip: A bag of apples can lasts up to 2 weeks, so eat 1 everyday and add in your favorite fruits as a snack. An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
Lunch/ Dinner:
Salmon + broccoli + steamed corn
BBQ baked chicken + asparagus + broccoli
Lasagna + salad + apple slices
Caesar salad + baked chicken + sweet potato Tip: Add a small salad to each meal and drink a glass of water before you eat!

My Favorite Resources:

My FitnessPal App: This app helps you to track your calories throughout the day. I use it daily to track my meals and calorie count. Fitness Fashionista Blog: She has great tips for weight loss and her post are easy to follow!

My last tip for this week's Fit Friday is to drink more water and cut out fast food. You will thank me later! Please share any fitness tips or meal ideas that you have below in the comment box! Peace and love!
