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 [...]

End of February Weigh In and Measurements
First the good news: I have lost over 10 pounds and about 5 1/2 inches on my bust, waist and hips so far in 2010! I‘m still working out twice a week with Bill Maeda over at FitPro Hawaii, and incorporating some new tools into my kettlebell regimen. The bad news? As of March, I [...]
Happy (belated) Valentine's Day!
Oh, for the love of kettlebells! I hope that — for those of you who celebrate Valentine’s Day– February 14th was a day to cherish your loved ones; honor yourself; and spend time giving and receiving from the heart. For me, Valentine’s Day in Hawaii also marked Lunar New Year! My favorite part of celebrating [...]
Water Weight?
It’s stats Sunday time. I just finished 9 days of an Isagenix cleanse, so I was feeling pretty good. I had kettlebell practice with my trainer and my workout partner, and I’d been walking uphill with my 30-pound kid packed on my back, so I went into my office (aka the bathroom) to take my [...]

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 [...]
The Dark Truth
Aloha, kettletell followers! Where have you been? Oops, that’s right! I’m the one that’s been offline. Well, I’m back! Even though I couldn’t find my nifty flip video camera, I am here to state the facts. Using my Sony CyberShot 2003, I relate the dark truth. For various reasons, I haven’t trained for a whole [...]
