End of February Weigh In and Measurements
First the good news: I have lost over 10 pounds and about 5 1/2 inches on my bust, waist and hips so far in 2010! I‘m still working out twice a week with Bill Maeda over at FitPro Hawaii, and incorporating some new tools into my kettlebell regimen. The bad news? As of March, I [...]
Happy (belated) Valentine's Day!
Oh, for the love of kettlebells! I hope that — for those of you who celebrate Valentine’s Day– February 14th was a day to cherish your loved ones; honor yourself; and spend time giving and receiving from the heart.

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 [...]

My Hips Don't Lie
Hey, kettlefolks! Have any of you heard of Shakira? The Lebanese, Spanish, Italian Grammy award winner had a pop song called, “Hips Don’t Lie,” with a sexy video to match. While I bear no resemblance to Shakira, her song has been resonating in my head ever since I took my measurements this morning: “My Hips [...]
Sunday Stats
Hey folks! It’s been a strange week. I either had the stomach flu or food poisoning. I didn’t work out all week. I counted calories every single day, using my blackberry. And I ended up with the exact same measurements as the week before, but a pound less: I’ll do a video progress update soon. [...]

Calorie Counting and Kettlebells
Folks, I’m on a quest. I’m looking for the magic balance between food taken in and energy expended that will equal pounds and inches shed. If you recall, last week Tuesdaay my trainer challenged me to lose a minimum of one pound every week. (I’m assuming, that is, until I hit one of my goals!) He’s [...]
