My New 30 Pound Weight Vest
I’m still taking long uphill walks in our neighborhood, but this time, I’ve added 30 pounds to my body. Wow! I can’t believe that 9 months ago, I was 30 pounds heavier! Take a peek: Okay, it’s not really a weight vest (I’m still waiting for Warrior Hardware to import some to Honolulu), but it [...]
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 [...]
The Dark Truth
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 [...]

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 [...]
Lifting Heavy Bells (09.29.09)
Aloha, Kettlepeeps! I fell a bit behind on my video-making. So, I decided to put up an old clip because it was FUN! Here Liz and I progress our way up from deadlifting a 20kg kettlebell all the way up to “the beast,” or the 106 pound Warrior Hardware kettlebomb! We finish with a set [...]
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 [...]
Kettlebell Aerobics!
Just for fun, I tried out some kettlebell aerobics after my last training session. Unfortunately, I’m not very good at it. Here’s the video clip of me doing my best impersonation of a spunky 80′s aerobics instructor… with 10lb kettlebells. Hey, join the group on facebook! See you there!
