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.

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 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 [...]

Sunday Wrap up- the good, the bad, and the ugly
Well, here it is, folks. My painstaking progress over the last 13 weeks. On average, I’m losing a pound a week. Last week, I lost EXACTLY one pound. I suppose that can count as part of the “good” news. My measurements stayed exactly the same, which I will also consider “good,” given all of the [...]
Let's Get it Started!
So, I’ve been in a holding pattern over the last couple of weeks. My body has gotten used to training at the level I’m at, and my brain has settled back into a comfort zone of mediocrity. As I was cleaning out my files yesterday, I came across my HMSA “Health Pass” booklet that I [...]
