thank you! I keep food at work and school. I also have a car so that makes it a lot easier. try to keep to a schedule, if you know where you will be at a certain time, it makes it a lot easier to eat. As far as food becoming icky, at my grocery store they have pre packaged veggie and fruit arrangements that usually last 6 hours, so definitely look for them. Also, whey protein shakes are a good investment (I keep the protein mix in my work locker) Hope this helps! 

well, I frequented the gym around 4 times a week. I started with a personal trainer just helping me out but ended up not staying with him after 2 months. I also started walking everywhere! I ate smaller meals, 6 times a day which really helped my metabolism. fruits, water, oatmel, grains, lean meats, and salads. I did eat fun foods once in a while, like when I went out. Most importantly, I stuck to it!
