This week's Favorite Things Friday post is all about the simple & FREE things in life. A lot of times I write about "go here" "try this" "buy this" but in all honestly I spend most of my days trying to find ways to NOT spend money! I truly believe to have less is to have more...unless we are talking about having kids... ;)

My friend Erin brought me something good & green from her backyard garden. I was treated with broccoli and fresh lettuce - both things we love and eat every week. She was excited to share because when broccoli is picked, more will sprout and grow. She bought 5 plants for $10 at home depot and now has homegrown veggies for her family of four.

If you know my husband Paul, you know he's a bit "energetic". He's always got some new thing that he's doing, usually related to fitness, and he'll be persistent (/annoying) in his attempt to include me (symptoms of his twin complex). He has recently convinced me to try what is called "Lunge U" - and I must admit, I kind of like it! The goal is to do a walking lunge for 400 meters as quickly as possible. On a typical day, I only get up to 200/250 lunges - its alot harder than it sounds. I feel really strong after and I think it has helped me shave a minute off my mile pace. I love that it can be done anywhere, at any time, and at any fitness level.
