KELP SPAGHETTI!!! PALEO APPROVED!

This week we had kelp noodles pop up on our Paleo Plan ingredients. When I saw kelp noodles on the list I must be honest in saying I did not know what it was or where to get it. The first thing that came to mind was...

Anyway, we found kelp noodles at the good food store in Rochester (err, at least that is what is was called). I think it is called the Food Co-Op now or something like that. Long story short, kelp spaghetti was great! Tastes like spaghetti to me. Best part of this story is that kelp noodles are only 6 calories per serving!!!!!!! REJOICE!!!!

Crossfit Credence twice per week, Paleo Plan eating, water consumption, swimming 3x per week, running, biking, ab workouts on the other days has helped me slim down from a size 38 waist to 34 size. I can finally start to see my abdominal muscles! I weighed this morning at 211 lbs, which puts me at 15.5 pounds lost since the end of February. The pants size is my favorite metric for sure. I am feeling stronger, but I still have so much work to do. I really struggle at pull-ups and push-ups. I have had some great progress, but need to keep the effort going. So far, the entire lifestyle has become normal to me. I must admit my body is sore quite a bit though.

The TriRochester Multisport Club's Season Kick-Off Party is at Rochester Cycle & Fitness Saturday Night at 6pm. This is a great way to get the year started with some socializing, giveaways, and great deals at the bike shop.



Wendy, Zach, and I are running the Fools Five Road Race again this Sunday. This is an 8K run in Lewiston, MN and has thousands of runners from all over the midwest. It is going to be a great time for sure. I love running with my family. Then on Sunday night...we are all going to the Bon Jovi Concert in St. Paul!!! This will be Zach's first concert. Funny thing is, Bon Jovi was my first concert too, but in 1983 when their first album came out. So, the circle of life has officially made it all the way around for us.
