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 = Revisiting Goals
I’m constantly looking for new ways to measure myself. I don’t mean this metaphorically- I actually get online and look at different charts, indices and calculators. I guess it goes back to my psychological need to “measure up” in some way. Any way you look at it, I’m not progressing as rapidly as I need [...]
100 Snatches
I’ll take positive reinforcement wherever I can get it. Today, I had two things to celebrate. I didn’t feel like working out at all today. The kids were napping at about the time we were supposed to pack up to go. I had little energy and was feeling a bit moody… and the little voice in [...]
Bite-sized Kettlebell Workout
I love things that are compact– bite-sized, if you will. The easier it is to manage, the more likely I will follow through. Lately, my workouts have been no exception. I don’t have the luxury of spending hours in a gym… all parents know that working out at home comes with the sacrifice of time spent [...]
10 minute workout wind up
Okay. I haven’t been able to spend a long time working out, especially with little ones (and big ones) at home. Fifteen weeks into this process, I learned that I need to just set aside a few minutes every day for myself as a priority, otherwise, my workouts won’t get done. My trainer has been [...]
Workout Anywhere with a Kettlebell
Hey, folks! Yes, I’ve been trying to diversify where and how I workout. Boredom is my enemy. Today I went to the neighborhood park with my nephew, his best friend, and my 2-year old. It was a clear day, and the playset was empty when we got there. Of course, other kids (and even their [...]
Cardio, Core, and Swings plus Practice Snatches
It’s August already? Where did July go? For the past week, I’ve been taking a brisk walk and then practicing fitting in a workout. To make this easier, my trainer created a circuit that literally lasts 6 minutes: 1 minute of jumping rope 30 second plank 20 swings with the 12kg kettlebell Repeat two more [...]
10 @$$ kicking minutes!
Today was my kettlebell training session with my trainer, Bill Maeda, and my workout partner, Liz. I dragged my butt into FitPro Hawaii hoping that I would come out feeling energized; I had almost fallen asleep driving into town. Right away, we jumped into our workout. No time for chattiness; we were met with a [...]
Sunday Stats Time!
Hey there! It’s late Sunday night in Honolulu, Hawaii. Today marks 3 days since I finished my 11-days using the Isagenix shakes and cleanse for life products. That means I’ve been eating! And drinking decaf coffee. On Friday, the day after my cleanse, I weighed in at 194.5, exactly 8 pounds less from the day [...]
