So, I’ve been in a holding pattern over the last couple of weeks. My body has gotten used to training at the level I’m at, and my brain has settled back into a comfort zone of mediocrity. As I was cleaning out my files yesterday, I came across my HMSA “Health Pass” booklet that I [...]

Friday's Workout
Hi there! The last time that I worked out was 4 days ago, and then, as you may recall, I was laid out with the flu. I was pretty out of it when I was working out, and I thought it strange that I didn’t have the strength or stamina that I usually do when [...]
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 [...]
Fast Food and Slow Progress
Hi! For those who celebrate it, I hope you enjoyed a Happy 4th of July! The past week has just been KILLER. Two family members ended up in the ER: my 3-year old nephew had an asthma attack; and my mom was hospitalized for 5 days with pneumonia. My sister, the matriarch of our household, ended [...]
Sunday Stat Day
Aloha, folks! It has been a pretty tumultous week for us at kettletell. I have TONS of video to edit and post, and I do promise some (back) posting late late late tonight. For now, for the sake of consistency, here’s my stats: Yup. I’m a 35-year old woman, standing at 5′ 4″. And apparently, [...]
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 [...]
The Healthy Eating Equation
“Food is an important part of a balanced diet.” Fran Lebowitz I don’t want y’all to think that all I eat is chocolate cake. I mean, I do get some great stuff in between, so I thought I’d dedicate this blog entirely to my current eating plan. Although I’m still getting it together, for the most [...]
The Weigh In
What’s on your mind? Thanks for asking, facebook! Here’s the short answer: Sunday weigh-in. I put it off until the last possible minute, but I still weighed in and took my measurements because– what can I say?– I like consistency. My friend M.C. also sent me his weigh-in. Here’s what it looks like: I know, [...]
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 [...]
