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 [...]

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, [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
100 Snatches
I’ll take positive reinforcement wherever I can get it. Today, I had two things to celebrate. I didn’t feel like working out at all today. The kids were napping at about the time we were supposed to pack up to go. I had little energy and was feeling a bit moody… and the little voice in [...]
