I had to take a quick pic of my high school senior pic that my mom proudly displays in her home (ugh!! Haha.) Yep, that it is me in both pics! :) I’m going to be 28 years old in 4 1/2 weeks, and am quite proud of how far I have come!! Heck, I’m healthier and feel & look so much better than I did at 17 years old. Left pic: senior pic Spring 2002 —- Right pic: 5th wedding anniversary April 2012. Woo!! #fitness #weightloss #health (Taken with Instagram)

I recommend getting some sort of cooler to take with you while you’re out and about, at work and such. There are absolutely no excuses to stop anywhere and grab junk food, when you can prepare your own healthy meals in advance, and pack them for your busy day.
This is where MY fast food comes from—a cute little insulated backpack. I got it Walmat for only $8.88.

There are bigger bags, but this one is convenient and perfectly-sized for an afternoon of errands and gymtime. And hello, IT’S A BACKPACK, also my favorite color. Awesome! :) (Taken with instagram)
