The Isagenix Cleanse is Over!

Well, folks! I did it my way, and it’s done… at least for the month of January.  I started the Isagenix Pre-Cleanse on January 15th and already felt like a failure by the 16th. I scooped myself back up (or actually, scooped some more chocolate shake up into my plastic shaker) and made my own [...]

Isagenix Cleanse Days 2 – 8: Happy Medium

I’ve completed 8 days of the 9-day Isagenix cleanse, and I’m happy with my results thus far. That’s saying a lot, since I tend to have a lot of negative thoughts running around. I think the key to staying upbeat and making progress is that I modified the cleanse to meet my needs, versus modifying [...]

Isagenix Cleanse Day #1: Doubts and Challenges

Have you ever noticed that as soon as you set an ambitious goal, obstacles appear? My hurdle occurred on Day #1 of my Isagenix cleanse this month, in the form of a kid’s bean burrito. You may be thinking to yourself, “That’s not that hard to say ‘no’ to!” Unless you’re me and you haven’t [...]

Isagenix Pre Cleanse: Days Go By

Well folks, this will be short and sweet. Here’s a link to my vlog about my first two days completing the Isagenix “pre cleanse” before the 9-day cleanse. For those of you who remember the last time I did this, I just wanted to tell you– this time it’s a lot different. I’ll expound on [...]

Problems in my Pants

It turns out that working out and working full-time has caused a couple of wardrobe malfunctions: Be sure to join the e-mail list in the upper right corner, and also the [...]

Starting anew in 2010

Well, kettleviewers… so far, I’m starting 2010 off with a clean  slate. Like many, the new year brings a sense of “I can do it!” to everything I’m taking on. I think 2010 is going to teach me discipline. My health and overall fitness goals are just part of the whole picture. In every aspect, [...]

Past 3 Days of Butt-Kicking

Hey, folks! I just wanted to let you know what I’ve been up to in the last few days. As you know from my last post, I’ve been challenged by my new workout partner to kick some serious butt this year in terms of my health and wellness goals. Personally, I’m a bit intimidated, but [...]

Leaving 2009 in the dust!

Hey, kettlepeeps! Have you ever looked back at small pieces of your life and felt pretty good about it? I find that I usually don’t give myself kudos for small accomplishments, but today, I am. I’m happy that I haven’t given up on myself in my quest to lose weight and gain healthy habits. I [...]

My First Workout of 2010

Hauoli Makahiki Hou! (Happy New Year!) Today I decided to work off some of the good luck noodles and not-so-good-for-me desserts from 2009. I put my kid on my back and took a brisk warm up walk through the hills of Hawaii Kai. Then I came home to complete a ladder consisting of clean & [...]
