I fell for you again, Mr. Diet Soda. You, with your promises of zero calories. I could commit to you without guilt. Even though I promised to give you up, I went right back to you. But I knew my friends wouldn’t judge me if they saw us together. I should have known better when [...]

Welcome back to kettleworld!
Hi, everyone! Angela C. here. I’m back in the game. I’m looking forward to engaging in a blog-a-thon this month with my homie Dwayne Perkins. It’s a challenge of sorts, although he is an actual comedian while my trials and tribulations might be classified as just comedy. Look for a daily post from me about my [...]
Using Food to Fill the Void
Hey, folks! It’s Sunday, stats day, and I’m behind on the blog. Before I begin, I just want to say thank you to each and every person reading this blog! I know we’re all busy, and I appreciate the time you take to read, comment, Tweet, post, and otherwise engage with me online. That being [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
