I feel great! Today has been the best day on the 9-day cleanse yet (and let’s not forget those 2 “pre-cleanse” days)! I had so much energy, it was strange. I didn’t have hunger pangs or hunger pains! I wasn’t extremely tired, and I was craving a workout. Today was family day, for sure. While [...]

Celebrating 20 lbs Lost and a Great Workout!
I woke up feeling great today! The back pain is gone, I’m looking forward to the last two Isagenix shakes I am required to take during this cleanse, and I weighed in at 196.7! Okay, some of you might be thinking, “I know men that weigh less than that!” Or maybe that’s what I think [...]
Isagenix Shake Day #6 and a Home Workout
Hey, kettlepeeps! I’ve finally gotten used to the idea that I am only eating one meal a day. If you’ve never taken “meal replacement” shakes before, imagine that you get to choose the one (sensible) meal you’re going to eat… for five days in a row. At first, I was obsessed, trying to plan the [...]
Isagenix Cleanse Day #3 and a kb Workout
Ow! Over the last two days, my lower back has been killing me! In order to get to sleep, I had to lie with my legs posted against the wall. On day three of the cleanse, I thought it would be interesting to recap my day in agenda format. 9:00 am Oops! We “slept in” [...]
Cleanse Day One and Fun in the Sun
Aloha! And a great big good morning to San Francisco, Austin, Washington D.C. and Raleigh! My first day using the Isagenix Cleanse for Life was bearable. I wasn’t as hungry as I thought I’d be… but boy, do I miss food. I like eating. I realized today that one of the consistent sources of satisfaction [...]
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 [...]
Friday and Saturday's Workout
Hola! Yes, I am doing some serious back posting today, however, if I don’t back post, I won’t post at all. I apologize to the 14 people who come to the site regularly! Friday’s workout at FitPro was killer, just in the sense that Bill timed me on the circuits that I’ve learned over the [...]
Fit and Fun
Workouts with kettlebells can be challenging, but I would never say that my workouts are boring. On Tuesday, we took our workout to another level. Not in terms of fulfilling the rite of passage or anything like that. I would say, in my trainer’s words, it was “funner.” Since the workouts have become more strenuous [...]
