Aloha, everyone! I’d like to first thank everyone who has responded to me via e-mail, facebook, twitter and even by phone! (In this world of technology, who knew I could get feedback by phone?) Yes! I have decided to keep this blog, and just renewed my lease with my host, so I’m in this for [...]

The Isagenix Cleanse is Over!
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 First Workout of 2010
Hauoli Makahiki Hou! (Happy New Year!) Today I decided to work off some of the good luck noodles and not-so-good-for-me desserts from 2009. I put my kid on my back and took a brisk warm up walk through the hills of Hawaii Kai. Then I came home to complete a ladder consisting of clean & [...]
My New 30 Pound Weight Vest
I’m still taking long uphill walks in our neighborhood, but this time, I’ve added 30 pounds to my body. Wow! I can’t believe that 9 months ago, I was 30 pounds heavier! Take a peek: Okay, it’s not really a weight vest (I’m still waiting for Warrior Hardware to import some to Honolulu), but it [...]
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, [...]
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. [...]
Kettlebell Bench Press, Swing and Jumping!
I started working out daily again. It feels great! I decided to focus on the workout rather than making a great video, or even timing myself. Today’s workout looks like this: Warm Up 1 mile walk Circuit (x3)Bench Press with 12kgs, alternating x 10 20 Swings with 16kg 10 modified burpees (only horizontal jumps) Here [...]
Jump! Lift! Swing! Kick!
There’s not a lot of fancy titles on this video, since Liz and I went to FitPro Hawaii to get one thing done. Work out! We started out jumping on the plyometric boxes- alternating 10 jumps. This was the first time we had done this kind of a warm up before, and three sets was [...]
