Hey, you guys! I hit a wall, slid down, and picked myself back up. (No, I didn’t hit the wall that hard… I’m sure that’s coming later.) But you know what I noticed? Things seem to work better after I plateau. I’m not saying that all of a sudden, I’m this super woman competitive kettlebell [...]

Sickypooh
The day after my awesome workout, I started sneezing. At first, I thought it was just my ever present allergies. Within the next 12 hours, what was a slightly irritating sneezy-ness turned into a full-fledged nose dripping, throat itching nuisance. Since I wasn’t sick sick, I decided to attend the wine bottling event I’ve been planning [...]
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 [...]

My body is adjusting to what is essentially a shock to the system: eating less, avoiding fats and sweets, working out with kettlebells, heck, working out, period. I went to sleep with a cough and woke up wheezing with a mild fever. I’m still [...]
Kettlelove?
You know, I might be falling in love. Oh, I always get this way. I am totally infatuated with kettlebells after our first date… I mean, training session. I went to BodyVox in Kapahulu to train with Bill Maeda. My friend Liz had trained with him in the past, so she and I decided to workout [...]
Energy Balancing Act
Lack of action leads to lethargy. Put another way, the more you rest, the more rest you need. Your body– and any living thing– regulates itself to maintain equilibrium, a process called homeostasis. On the one hand, it’s great to know that your body does everything on its own to protect itself. However, this isn’t [...]
