Favorite Workouts: Kettlebells

                                 
Kettlebell workouts are quickly becoming one of my favorites.  I can generally knock out a 30 minute workout while the kids are napping and still feel good enough to go for a run later in the day.
I am currently working with a 25lb bell, but for beginners (women) I would suggest a 15.

If you haven't worked with kettlebells I definitely suggest trying them. Come back and tell me how you did!

Shirataki Noodles in Miso Tofu Soup with Salmon

Shirataki Noodles are quickly becoming one of my favorite things. They are easy to prepare and can replace just about any pasta dish without the carbs or calories.  Today I had a taste for Ramen but I would rather not have the calories or carbs that came with. Instead, I found Kikkoman's Tofu Miso Soup, added the noodles, salmon and seaweed and I was in Heaven.  Even my 2 year old couldn't get enough.  Pescatarian Approved!

I currently live in Louisiana. The culture here is amazing, even more so the sense off state pride. Part of the culture is the love for amazing food.  While I enjoy it, it sometimes makes it difficult to stay on track when around it. I do indulge on occasion if the hubs and I are out to have a good time...but weekly at work during orders or team meetings, lunches or breakfasts it is sometimes difficult to be the odd man out. I don't want others to think I am looking down on the culture,  but I know for my own sake I have to stick to plan.
Generally,  this means bringing my own meals on a daily basis and preparing for team lunches by knowing ahead of time what it will be and what I need to do.

Some days I literary feel like locking myself in my office in order to escape the treats, fried foods or carbo loads. I hope at some point my mind will no longer react to it and it will be as easy pie....well spinach or something.
