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 [...]

Sunday Stats = Revisiting Goals
I’m constantly looking for new ways to measure myself. I don’t mean this metaphorically- I actually get online and look at different charts, indices and calculators. I guess it goes back to my psychological need to “measure up” in some way. Any way you look at it, I’m not progressing as rapidly as I need [...]
Cleanse Day #8/ Kids and KBs
I feel great! Today has been the best day on the 9-day cleanse yet (and let’s not forget those 2 “pre-cleanse” days)! I had so much energy, it was strange. I didn’t have hunger pangs or hunger pains! I wasn’t extremely tired, and I was craving a workout. Today was family day, for sure. While [...]
Cleanse day two (boo hoo!)
Okay, people, let’s keep it real. I like food. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that multiple times, both in text and on video. I know you know that I know I’m an emotional eater. So, imagine this scenario. For two days, you aren’t eating, tasting, enjoying a meal. You are ingesting nutritious stuff, mind you, but [...]
"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 [...]
Sun day, Sundae, SUNDAY!!!
Aloha, everyone! It’s Sunday afternoon, and I’m doing my weekly thing- enjoying a chocolate organic bar (made with love, I promise!), typing my blog, and listening to 90′s music. I remember when music on TV was either live or in video format, and the closest thing to reality TV was a game show! If you [...]
Updated Eating Info
Hey, folks! No sooner had I written my blog about what I’m eating when I had a conversation with my trainer. On my workout days, we’re focusing on workouts. Guess what we’re dissecting when I’m not in the gym? You got it– what I’m eating. So, I know quite a bit about myself and my [...]
The Weigh In
What’s on your mind? Thanks for asking, facebook! Here’s the short answer: Sunday weigh-in. I put it off until the last possible minute, but I still weighed in and took my measurements because– what can I say?– I like consistency. My friend M.C. also sent me his weigh-in. Here’s what it looks like: I know, [...]
Healthy Integrity
“How you do anything is how you do everything.” -T. Harv Ekar College students I’ve worked with know I’m fond of the quote above . I truly believe that you can find examples of how you live your entire life just by looking at the little things you do. Like working [...]
Bye bye, back fat!
“Fear has a large shadow, but he himself is small.” J. Ruth Gendler Big girls- answer me this. Am I the only one having trouble finding good athletic gear? I mean, guys (and by “guys,” I do mean “men” only), it seems like all you have to do is find a great pair of shorts [...]
