Aloha, kettletell followers! Where have you been? Oops, that’s right! I’m the one that’s been offline. Well, I’m back! Even though I couldn’t find my nifty flip video camera, I am here to state the facts. Using my Sony CyberShot 2003, I relate the dark truth. For various reasons, I haven’t trained for a whole [...]

Birthday Stats, Birthday Stats
After six months of working out with kettlebells, the stats are in! I’ve lost 25.9 pounds (you can call that 26.0 if you want!), 4 inches in my bust, 4 inches from my waist, and 5 inches from my hips. Ceeeeelebraaaaate good times, come on! I spent the day with great friends, family, and didn’t [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Sunday Stats, September's End
Wow! I can’t believe it’s T – 33 days until my birthday! My new goal for my birthday (since I determined I wouldn’t lose 55 pounds by then) is to hit 180. I think that losing 14 pounds will make a HUGE difference — not only in the way I look, but also in the [...]
Excuses
Hey folks! Here’s my stats for the last couple of weeks. As you can see, starting in mid-September, my weight and measurements have gone up slightly: For the last few weeks, I’ve been working out on average 3 times a week, and I’ve been eating a lot of sugary foods. Moreover, this past week, I’ve [...]
Sunday Stats: I'm bringing nerdy back
Nothing to see here, folks, keep on moving! Okay, you’re still reading, so I’ll share my latest progress (or lack thereof) with you: Here’s what that looks like as a line graph: Since I’m a nerd, I thought to look at the data and see if I could find any trends. Do you see anything? [...]
Sunday Stats – Back on Track!
I knew something good was happening when I put on what used to be my favorite pair of jeans, and there was so much room in the butt area, I looked like a badly-dressed senior citizen. To summarize: I had a good week. Take a look at my stats! It’s fun to see that I’m [...]
