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
Hey folks! It’s been a strange week. I either had the stomach flu or food poisoning. I didn’t work out all week. I counted calories every single day, using my blackberry. And I ended up with the exact same measurements as the week before, but a pound less: I’ll do a video progress update soon. [...]
Calorie Counting and Kettlebells
Folks, I’m on a quest. I’m looking for the magic balance between food taken in and energy expended that will equal pounds and inches shed. If you recall, last week Tuesdaay my trainer challenged me to lose a minimum of one pound every week. (I’m assuming, that is, until I hit one of my goals!) He’s [...]
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 [...]
Sunday Stats, September's End
Wow! I can’t believe it’s T – 33 days until my birthday! My new goal for my birthday (since I determined I wouldn’t lose 55 pounds by then) is to hit 180. I think that losing 14 pounds will make a HUGE difference — not only in the way I look, but also in the [...]
Sunday Stats: I'm bringing nerdy back
Nothing to see here, folks, keep on moving! Okay, you’re still reading, so I’ll share my latest progress (or lack thereof) with you: Here’s what that looks like as a line graph: Since I’m a nerd, I thought to look at the data and see if I could find any trends. Do you see anything? [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Sunday Wrap up- the good, the bad, and the ugly
Well, here it is, folks. My painstaking progress over the last 13 weeks. On average, I’m losing a pound a week. Last week, I lost EXACTLY one pound. I suppose that can count as part of the “good” news. My measurements stayed exactly the same, which I will also consider “good,” given all of the [...]
