Grocery Shopping? Fundraising?

What to get? I'm not sure if it's because I'm the youngest in my family, I'm too impatient to cook, I'm not a food planner, or because I'm lazy, but I'm turning over a new leaf!

I'm heading out to the grocery store after studying my nutrition book. I have my meals planned out for the week with my workout scheduled. Although, it is ridiculously overwhelming for me! ... on the other hand, what's the worst that happens? I've been fairly healthy so I would just end up eating Cheerios although I need the proper energy! The worst thing is I won't be prepared for the marathon! Phew, here is the list.

I am not a fan of fundraising. I've never undertaken such a large project of raising money on my own. My last fundraising effort was probably a high school band fundraiser and I sold something in exchange for the cash. Yesterday, my coach mentioned that he was never a giver until after he lost his mother. After the loss of his mother, he raised Thousands of dollars for cancer research. Rick, care to comment on the exact details of this? He also mentioned that he appreciated our efforts of giving because life is more than bad economies, credit cards, fancy shoes, and expensive things. Life is about your legacy. What do you want to be remembered for? Helping others and giving is a great legacy. I still hate asking for money though. I realize it's hard to give to ever cause! We all have lots of friends and family that are involved and perhaps you even know someone else running the marathon for a charity. My little solution to this problem is come get something for your donation. I'm offering you a fun night out in Amherst, Boston, or Southborough - a little reunion, beer, conversation, squishy feel good about yourself because you've helped me and Bottom Line!

Please see the below Evite for the Boston event. I am, admittedly, very nervous about the success of the event so reply and have a good time! Thank you!! My Pointe February 15th Evite
