I’ve been politely questioned, rudely asked, and even teased about my weight. None of that really made a difference in terms of motivating me to get healthy, in fact, it may have had the opposite effect. My trainer is taking a different approach — a financial consequence. Liz and I have agreed. If we don’t come [...]

Sunday Stats, Awesome October
October is awesome. I love the Fall (even though we don’t really have one here in Honolulu). Just the concept of change, transformation, and things in nature preparing to go underground for a season is awe-inspiring. October is also my birthday month! And, my kettlefriends, I am so far from my goal, I sometimes want [...]
Kettlebell Bench Press, Swing and Jumping!
I started working out daily again. It feels great! I decided to focus on the workout rather than making a great video, or even timing myself. Today’s workout looks like this: Warm Up 1 mile walk Circuit (x3)Bench Press with 12kgs, alternating x 10 20 Swings with 16kg 10 modified burpees (only horizontal jumps) Here [...]
Sunday Stats = Revisiting Goals
I’m constantly looking for new ways to measure myself. I don’t mean this metaphorically- I actually get online and look at different charts, indices and calculators. I guess it goes back to my psychological need to “measure up” in some way. Any way you look at it, I’m not progressing as rapidly as I need [...]
10 minute workout wind up
Okay. I haven’t been able to spend a long time working out, especially with little ones (and big ones) at home. Fifteen weeks into this process, I learned that I need to just set aside a few minutes every day for myself as a priority, otherwise, my workouts won’t get done. My trainer has been [...]

Celebrating 20 lbs Lost and a Great Workout!
I woke up feeling great today! The back pain is gone, I’m looking forward to the last two Isagenix shakes I am required to take during this cleanse, and I weighed in at 196.7! Okay, some of you might be thinking, “I know men that weigh less than that!” Or maybe that’s what I think [...]
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 [...]
"More hips, more thighs"
I haven’t been putting my mind in my hips. My arms, yes. Long torso? Okay. Breathing is pretty good, too. But swinging kettlebells is all about bending the hips, loading the hamstrings, and using the weight of the kettlebell to create explosive motion. So far, I haven’t been utilizing the force that’s already there to [...]
