Mid-March Weigh In and Measurements
Aloha, everyone! I’d like to first thank everyone who has responded to me via e-mail, facebook, twitter and even by phone! (In this world of technology, who knew I could get feedback by phone?) Yes! I have decided to keep this blog, and just renewed my lease with my host, so I’m in this for [...]
End of February Weigh In and Measurements
First the good news: I have lost over 10 pounds and about 5 1/2 inches on my bust, waist and hips so far in 2010! I‘m still working out twice a week with Bill Maeda over at FitPro Hawaii, and incorporating some new tools into my kettlebell regimen. The bad news? As of March, I [...]
Happy (belated) Valentine's Day!
Oh, for the love of kettlebells! I hope that — for those of you who celebrate Valentine’s Day– February 14th was a day to cherish your loved ones; honor yourself; and spend time giving and receiving from the heart. For me, Valentine’s Day in Hawaii also marked Lunar New Year! My favorite part of celebrating [...]
Water Weight?
It’s stats Sunday time. I just finished 9 days of an Isagenix cleanse, so I was feeling pretty good. I had kettlebell practice with my trainer and my workout partner, and I’d been walking uphill with my 30-pound kid packed on my back, so I went into my office (aka the bathroom) to take my [...]
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, [...]

Aloha, and Mele Kalikimaka Kettlepeeps! (Hello and Merry Christmas, friends and people who enjoy using kettlebells!) Here’s the latest in the ongoing drama that is kettletell: Just so you can see what I was referring to in the video, here are my latest stats. I can’t give up! It seems like I’m regressing, but I [...]
Sunday Stats: Adjusting the Course
Aloha, Kettlepeeps! After my birthday, it was tempting to feel proud. I had been working hard for 6 months, and had a modicum of success. I could fit clothes that I had bought when I moved to Hawaii and soon “grew” out of. I was meeting with my personal trainer and also working out on [...]
Sunday Stats – The Holidays are Here!
Aloha, kettlecousins! We celebrated Thanksgiving with a 20+ person party at our house – and that was just the immediate family! I hope that this past weekend was joyous for you as well, and that you embraced the spirit of gratitude, whether you are in the United States or not. I definitely indulged in family, [...]
My Hips Don't Lie
Hey, kettlefolks! Have any of you heard of Shakira? The Lebanese, Spanish, Italian Grammy award winner had a pop song called, “Hips Don’t Lie,” with a sexy video to match. While I bear no resemblance to Shakira, her song has been resonating in my head ever since I took my measurements this morning: “My Hips [...]
