Hello Healthy Body Happy Wallet, I have missed you! It's been a while since I have posted on here but I'm planning start back up again. The point of this blog is to track my progress and hold me accountable on my fitness journey, and save more money along the way. Hence...the blog name! :)
My goal is to achieve a healthier lifestyle through increasing my activity level and by making nutritious meals at home. Posting here will help hold me accountable as I track my progress, along with posting in my new fitness journal! I found the above planner, post-its and paper from the dollar bin at Target and plan to use it as my journal. I LOVE the dollar bin at Target. They always have the most adorable stuff!!

I made a pit stop at Marshalls this weekend and snagged up these awesome dishcloths! How cool are they?! I knew I had to get them as soon as I saw them, and am thinking they will help inspire me to stay on track.
