And He's Off!

We returned from Utah last night where we took Alex to the MTC. It was a wonderful experience for the family. Thanks to all of you for being so supportive and helping him get ready to serve. Soon we will put up a missionary site to keep everyone up to date on his activities.

As this blog is dedicated to fitness and nutrition, I will tell you that we ate really good tasting food. We can recommend a few places to eat - Winger's in Orem serves some greate honey BBQ wings with a kick. Orem also has a Krispy Kreme and yes, we waited until the light was on to get ours fresh off the line. If you are ever in Kanab, give Grandma Tina's a try. They make a great patty melt, grilled cheese and even vegetables.

I personally did not follow my eating plan very well as my weight ticker will attest. I did go for a morning jog one day and a walk the next, both times it snowed. I bundled up in complete head to foot thermal-arctic wear while the local kids walked to school in not much more than a sweatshirt. I also shoveled the walk & drive way. Good fun but glad I don't have to do it every day.

What are your favorite places/things to eat when you are on the road. Do you try to eat healthy when you are away from home?
