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 [...]

Weighing in: How to be happy when the scale barely moves
Hey, everyone out there in kettlebell world! I don’t feel very qualified to talk about staying happy, but I think that this is probably the most important topic I will ever post on this blog. How many of you who are working out, watching what we eat, and reading everything possible on health and nutrition [...]
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 [...]
Isagenix Cleanse Days 2 – 8: Happy Medium
I’ve completed 8 days of the 9-day Isagenix cleanse, and I’m happy with my results thus far. That’s saying a lot, since I tend to have a lot of negative thoughts running around. I think the key to staying upbeat and making progress is that I modified the cleanse to meet my needs, versus modifying [...]
Isagenix Cleanse Day #1: Doubts and Challenges
Have you ever noticed that as soon as you set an ambitious goal, obstacles appear? My hurdle occurred on Day #1 of my Isagenix cleanse this month, in the form of a kid’s bean burrito. You may be thinking to yourself, “That’s not that hard to say ‘no’ to!” Unless you’re me and you haven’t [...]

Leaving 2009 in the dust!
Hey, kettlepeeps! Have you ever looked back at small pieces of your life and felt pretty good about it? I find that I usually don’t give myself kudos for small accomplishments, but today, I am. I’m happy that I haven’t given up on myself in my quest to lose weight and gain healthy habits. I [...]

Aloha, kettlecousins! We celebrated Thanksgiving with a 20+ person party at our house – and that was just the immediate family! I hope that this past weekend was joyous for you as well, and that you embraced the spirit of gratitude, whether you are in the United States or not. I definitely indulged in family, [...]
Sunday Stats: 25 pounds less on 10/25/09
Ooooh! My birthday is approaching! I’m excited — not to be gaining another year — but rather, because I’m finally losing weight! This week marked my descent into the 180′s. When I was over 200 pounds, I was lethargic, unmotivated and unhappy. Most of all, I felt angry that I allowed myself to gain so [...]
Sunday Stats, September's End
Wow! I can’t believe it’s T – 33 days until my birthday! My new goal for my birthday (since I determined I wouldn’t lose 55 pounds by then) is to hit 180. I think that losing 14 pounds will make a HUGE difference — not only in the way I look, but also in the [...]
