Post graduation binge

What a ride!!!! Graduation was a week and a half ago and I've been loving life!! I've also been eating so far off the plan that I've gained some weigh. I'm calling it my post-graduation binge. Nothing I can't take off, but more than I like...somewhere between 5 and 7 pounds. Some say it's "vacation weight". I don't buy it though. Time to get back on the healthy eating wagon...

There's plenty not in the photos...chips, candy, etc. I'm such a sucker for candy. And we were on a road trip...I have a million excuses. But now, it's time to get back to business. Time to get back to healthy eating and time to get back to exercising.
