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 [...]

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.

Pushing 22kg for 3 Miles
I’ve been sick all week, so I’ve been pretty sedentary. As a work-at-home mom, it’s all too easy to justify the need to stay indoors, especially when a deadline is encroaching. But what about all the other times of the year? Luckily for me, I have my 2-year-old and my sister’s 3-year-old to keep me company. [...]
Kettlebell Curves! (Secrets from my closet)
Aloha, everyone! Today ended up being another “rest” day for me. My body is adjusting to what is essentially a shock to the system: eating less, avoiding fats and sweets, working out with kettlebells, heck, working out, period. I went to sleep with a cough and woke up wheezing with a mild fever. I’m still [...]
