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 [...]

The Isagenix Cleanse is Over!
Well, folks! I did it my way, and it’s done… at least for the month of January. I started the Isagenix Pre-Cleanse on January 15th and already felt like a failure by the 16th. I scooped myself back up (or actually, scooped some more chocolate shake up into my plastic shaker) and made my own [...]
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 [...]
Stressful Snacking?
Hey kettlefolks! For the past week, I’ve been in various coffee houses around Honolulu, working to a deadline. One of the joys of working for yourself is that you get to work anywhere! (Conversely, you don’t have an office or regular workspace.) Lately, I’ve been looking at this: [...]
Sunday Wrap up- the good, the bad, and the ugly

Cleanse day two (boo hoo!)
Okay, people, let’s keep it real. I like food. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that multiple times, both in text and on video. I know you know that I know I’m an emotional eater. So, imagine this scenario. For two days, you aren’t eating, tasting, enjoying a meal. You are ingesting nutritious stuff, mind you, but [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
