Free is the best kind of food

We have had a good week for free food. Tuesday we got free pancakes at IHOP. Wednesday we got free Quiznos thanks to the Million Subs giveaway. http://millionsubs.com/. And then our friend Emily gave us a beautiful wedding cake that we had for breakfast and lunch today. (I probably shouldn't admit that.)
Then to top it off, tomorrow we get free Spaghetti and Meatballs from our ward's Elder's Quorum party!

We are shooting for free food for the rest of the week. Or maybe I can keep the streak up a little longer. I will refuse to cook and only eat what I didn't have to buy.

This challenge reminds me of college. I could always find my way into free food back then and I can do it again. Think cheap.

Free...now that is my favorite kind of food.

Yes we can


Ben and I are on assignment.
We have been asked to go on the Laurel High Adventure this summer. It is a backpacking trip up the Pacific Ridge. I love it because I get scheduled camp-outs with Ben and a good excuse to get in shape. We always want to plan hikes but never get around to it. So, this year it is planned for us. Three hikes leading up to the big, 30-miler!

This is yet another motivation to get me off my hiney. I have started my “From couch potato to 5K” plan. Hopefully, I will stick with it. I want to be able to run the 5K at Girl’s Camp this year. My goal is to not come in last.

We have a busy summer ahead of us. Not to mention, the Nielsen Family Fun Week in Hawaii! We can’t wait!

I know it is only February but now is the time to get myself back in shape.
