I think I do best when I’m “challenged.” (And supported, of course.) Yesterday, our trainer at FitPro Hawaii literally sat Liz & I down and challenged us to get active every single day. Although I am definitely happy with my progress thus far, it’s true- my metabolism at age 35 has slowed, and I’m not [...]

10 @$$ kicking minutes!
Today was my kettlebell training session with my trainer, Bill Maeda, and my workout partner, Liz. I dragged my butt into FitPro Hawaii hoping that I would come out feeling energized; I had almost fallen asleep driving into town. Right away, we jumped into our workout. No time for chattiness; we were met with a [...]
Sunday Stats Time!
Hey there! It’s late Sunday night in Honolulu, Hawaii. Today marks 3 days since I finished my 11-days using the Isagenix shakes and cleanse for life products. That means I’ve been eating! And drinking decaf coffee. On Friday, the day after my cleanse, I weighed in at 194.5, exactly 8 pounds less from the day [...]
Kettletell's Updated Blogroll!
Hey, folks! We finally put together a much more comprehensive list of websites of all things kettlecool. As you can see from the picture, I had a little help. If you have a blog or website that’s related to mine, and you would like it to be featured here, just e-mail me at info@kettletell.com. Conversely, if [...]
Final Results of Cleanse!
Clean living is the cardinal principle in the lives of the world’s greatest athletes. Marshall “Major” Taylor I finally finished! The 9-day cleanse, that is. When I began the two pre-cleanse days, I was weighing in at 202.5 pounds. Two days later, I began the Isagenix 9-day program, and this is where this video recap [...]
Cleanse Day #8/ Kids and KBs
I feel great! Today has been the best day on the 9-day cleanse yet (and let’s not forget those 2 “pre-cleanse” days)! I had so much energy, it was strange. I didn’t have hunger pangs or hunger pains! I wasn’t extremely tired, and I was craving a workout. Today was family day, for sure. While [...]
Celebrating 20 lbs Lost and a Great Workout!
I woke up feeling great today! The back pain is gone, I’m looking forward to the last two Isagenix shakes I am required to take during this cleanse, and I weighed in at 196.7! Okay, some of you might be thinking, “I know men that weigh less than that!” Or maybe that’s what I think [...]
Isagenix Shake Day #6 and a Home Workout
Hey, kettlepeeps! I’ve finally gotten used to the idea that I am only eating one meal a day. If you’ve never taken “meal replacement” shakes before, imagine that you get to choose the one (sensible) meal you’re going to eat… for five days in a row. At first, I was obsessed, trying to plan the [...]
Sunday Satisfaction
Well, I didn’t meet my goal for today, but I did come pretty close! To come up with the numbers below, I took my final goal and divided my progress into thirds. Probably not the best formula, now that I think about it, but at least I was going for an average amount of change [...]
Isagenix Cleanse Day #3 and a kb Workout
Ow! Over the last two days, my lower back has been killing me! In order to get to sleep, I had to lie with my legs posted against the wall. On day three of the cleanse, I thought it would be interesting to recap my day in agenda format. 9:00 am Oops! We “slept in” [...]
