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 [...]

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” [...]
Cleanse Day One and Fun in the Sun
Aloha! And a great big good morning to San Francisco, Austin, Washington D.C. and Raleigh! My first day using the Isagenix Cleanse for Life was bearable. I wasn’t as hungry as I thought I’d be… but boy, do I miss food. I like eating. I realized today that one of the consistent sources of satisfaction [...]
Friday's Workout
Hi there! The last time that I worked out was 4 days ago, and then, as you may recall, I was laid out with the flu. I was pretty out of it when I was working out, and I thought it strange that I didn’t have the strength or stamina that I usually do when [...]
Friday and Saturday's Workout
Hola! Yes, I am doing some serious back posting today, however, if I don’t back post, I won’t post at all. I apologize to the 14 people who come to the site regularly! Friday’s workout at FitPro was killer, just in the sense that Bill timed me on the circuits that I’ve learned over the [...]
Fit and Fun
Workouts with kettlebells can be challenging, but I would never say that my workouts are boring. On Tuesday, we took our workout to another level. Not in terms of fulfilling the rite of passage or anything like that. I would say, in my trainer’s words, it was “funner.” Since the workouts have become more strenuous [...]
Woo hoo! A workout!
Okay, guys! (And by “guys,” I mean everybody!) I’ve been getting my workout on, but haven’t been blogging! I apologize to everyone in kettleworld. Mea culpa. Now that that’s over, let’s get on with my Wednesday Workout. I grabbed my energetic nephew for a brisk walk uphill. We kept track of our progress with my [...]
"More hips, more thighs"
I haven’t been putting my mind in my hips. My arms, yes. Long torso? Okay. Breathing is pretty good, too. But swinging kettlebells is all about bending the hips, loading the hamstrings, and using the weight of the kettlebell to create explosive motion. So far, I haven’t been utilizing the force that’s already there to [...]
Ham and Cheesy
I pulled my hamstring, y’all. That’s what I get for working out on an incline, and not doing it correctly. Please don’t take any of these videos to be instructional, since I’m just learning myself! I’m going to call it a night, but before I go, I wanted to share a quick video of me [...]
