Well, folks! I did it my way, and it’s done… at least for the month of January. I started the Isagenix Pre-Cleanse on January 15th and already felt like a failure by the 16th. I scooped myself back up (or actually, scooped some more chocolate shake up into my plastic shaker) and made my own [...]

Isagenix Cleanse Days 2 – 8: Happy Medium
I’ve completed 8 days of the 9-day Isagenix cleanse, and I’m happy with my results thus far. That’s saying a lot, since I tend to have a lot of negative thoughts running around. I think the key to staying upbeat and making progress is that I modified the cleanse to meet my needs, versus modifying [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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: 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? [...]
Stressful Snacking?
Hey kettlefolks! For the past week, I’ve been in various coffee houses around Honolulu, working to a deadline. One of the joys of working for yourself is that you get to work anywhere! (Conversely, you don’t have an office or regular workspace.) Lately, I’ve been looking at this: [...]
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. [...]
