As you can see below, our cupboards are currently very far from bare and we have been eating out much too often (S.ubway is literally across the street and they have MSPI friendly food). The primary purpose of this exercise is to rid ourselves of excess. There are some secondary benefits, too:
- save money (I am currently unpaid for the next two months so we are living on 1/3 of our income),
- clean the cupboards out (having four different groups of visitors "help" over the past two months equals disorganization that is driving me crazy), and
- prep for a move (location TBD, but we'll definitely be moving this summer whether it is local or interstate).
Here are some pictures to document the "before" - I'll post the "after" following Easter.
We are also turning the mirror on ourselves and will be training to do a 5k in April. I had loosely started training a couple of weeks ago, but need to really pick things up.
I hope that you all have a blessed Lenten season! I am thankful for a chance to reflect and regroup.

That is a great decision for lent! I know it will be difficult to start but I bet you get in the habit and actually come to enjoy it. Like the idea of doing a 5k. It's always great to throw in excercise...makes you feel tons better about yourself!
Great idea!!! I might need to do this too! :) But I don't have half as much food as you do! But that is ONLY because I did this about two weeks ago! Then I went to the store and stocked up on junk again! :)
