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, [...]
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, 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 [...]
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 – 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 [...]
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 [...]
Just the stats, ma'am
Hi, people! After a good experience with the cleanse a month ago (during the week of 7/15), here I am: As you can see, I pretty much look the same. Heck, I even feel the same– except when I’m working out. I know that I’ve gotten stronger. Today, I brought home a 16kg iron kettlebell [...]
Sunday stats! Am I Headed for a Relapse?
Hey, Kettlepeeps! It’s late Sunday night… and I have yet to write my blog! I was reviewing my past blogs and wanted to show you again how the “average” American is sizing up. About 10,000 people were digitally scanned to get these average figures: When I started this blog, I told myself that enough was enough. [...]
