Sunday Stats: 25 pounds less on 10/25/09
Ooooh! My birthday is approaching! I’m excited — not to be gaining another year — but rather, because I’m finally losing weight! This week marked my descent into the 180′s. When I was over 200 pounds, I was lethargic, unmotivated and unhappy. Most of all, I felt angry that I allowed myself to gain so [...]
Kettlebell Aerobics!
Just for fun, I tried out some kettlebell aerobics after my last training session. Unfortunately, I’m not very good at it. Here’s the video clip of me doing my best impersonation of a spunky 80′s aerobics instructor… with 10lb kettlebells. Hey, join the group on facebook! See you there!

Sunday Stats
Hey folks! It’s been a strange week. I either had the stomach flu or food poisoning. I didn’t work out all week. I counted calories every single day, using my blackberry. And I ended up with the exact same measurements as the week before, but a pound less: I’ll do a video progress update soon. [...]

How I lost 2 pounds in 1 day!
Before you start asking questions, like, “What product did you use?” or “You’re not anorexic, are you?,” let me clean the slate. I had the stomach flu.* Okay, according to a friend of mine, there’s no such thing as the “stomach flu.” Whatever it was, late Monday night / Tuesday morning, there I was hunched [...]
Calorie Counting and Kettlebells
Folks, I’m on a quest. I’m looking for the magic balance between food taken in and energy expended that will equal pounds and inches shed. If you recall, last week Tuesdaay my trainer challenged me to lose a minimum of one pound every week. (I’m assuming, that is, until I hit one of my goals!) He’s [...]
A Pound A Week… Or Else!
I’ve been politely questioned, rudely asked, and even teased about my weight. None of that really made a difference in terms of motivating me to get healthy, in fact, it may have had the opposite effect. My trainer is taking a different approach — a financial consequence. Liz and I have agreed. If we don’t come [...]
Sunday Stats, Awesome October
October is awesome. I love the Fall (even though we don’t really have one here in Honolulu). Just the concept of change, transformation, and things in nature preparing to go underground for a season is awe-inspiring. October is also my birthday month! And, my kettlefriends, I am so far from my goal, I sometimes want [...]
