Have you ever noticed that as soon as you set an ambitious goal, obstacles appear? My hurdle occurred on Day #1 of my Isagenix cleanse this month, in the form of a kid’s bean burrito. You may be thinking to yourself, “That’s not that hard to say ‘no’ to!” Unless you’re me and you haven’t [...]

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 [...]
If At First You Don't Succeed…
One thing I’m learning through this process is to stick with it! In other areas of my life, I’ve gotten caught in the “all or nothing” trap. If I can’t do it perfectly, heck, why do it at all? For example, I might think, ” If I can’t get at least 30 minutes to work [...]
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. [...]
Cleanse day two (boo hoo!)
Okay, people, let’s keep it real. I like food. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that multiple times, both in text and on video. I know you know that I know I’m an emotional eater. So, imagine this scenario. For two days, you aren’t eating, tasting, enjoying a meal. You are ingesting nutritious stuff, mind you, but [...]
When Half A Workout Works
Hi, everyone! I write to you today on a blustery night in Honolulu, with the full moon lighting up the sky. (I bet it’s just beautiful at the shoreline behind Koko Crater right now!) Unfortunately I am feeling more blustery than beautiful, fighting and ultimately losing the battle to keep my family’s flu away. Today [...]
Weekend Blues?
This past weekend was pretty hectic. I started off on the wrong foot by showing up extremely late to my training session on Friday. Why have a blackberry if you’re not gonna look at it? Okay, enough griping. The good news is that I was extremely focused for 20 minutes, and learned a killer exercise [...]
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 [...]
Healthy Integrity
“How you do anything is how you do everything.” -T. Harv Ekar College students I’ve worked with know I’m fond of the quote above . I truly believe that you can find examples of how you live your entire life just by looking at the little things you do. Like working [...]
Photophobia
I have (another) confession to make. I hate taking pictures of myself from the shoulders down. Fortunately, in this “take a snapshot of myself with my cell phone camera” world, most of the photos I have of myself crop out all of my unsightly parts. Recently I was asked why I hadn’t turned my California [...]
