Hauoli Makahiki Hou! (Happy New Year!) Today I decided to work off some of the good luck noodles and not-so-good-for-me desserts from 2009. I put my kid on my back and took a brisk warm up walk through the hills of Hawaii Kai. Then I came home to complete a ladder consisting of clean & [...]

My New 30 Pound Weight Vest
I’m still taking long uphill walks in our neighborhood, but this time, I’ve added 30 pounds to my body. Wow! I can’t believe that 9 months ago, I was 30 pounds heavier! Take a peek: Okay, it’s not really a weight vest (I’m still waiting for Warrior Hardware to import some to Honolulu), but it [...]
Friday and Saturday's Workout
Hola! Yes, I am doing some serious back posting today, however, if I don’t back post, I won’t post at all. I apologize to the 14 people who come to the site regularly! Friday’s workout at FitPro was killer, just in the sense that Bill timed me on the circuits that I’ve learned over the [...]
Great Home Workout
Finally! I got a workout in… at home! The assignment: 20+ minutes of cardio warm up with deadlifts and swings 20- 15- 10- cleans/ push presses 1 minute of four-touch in between stretch! I convinced my oldest nephew to take a 1 1/2 mile walk/run with me. He went ahead on his scooter, and I [...]
Weekend Blues?
This past weekend was pretty hectic. I started off on the wrong foot by showing up extremely late to my training session on Friday. Why have a blackberry if you’re not gonna look at it? Okay, enough griping. The good news is that I was extremely focused for 20 minutes, and learned a killer exercise [...]
Super Sunday!
I thought today was going to be a great day before I even met it. You know what I mean? You’re on track, doing what you need to do, and you just have a good feeling? Kinda like walking into an exam prepared? I had an amazing Saturday, kicked off by a great walk around [...]
Pushing 53lbs for 1.7 miles
On Saturday I met Lia, my Power Partner, for our morning stroll through Kapiolani Park. I was lucky to grow up in this area, and coming here every week brings back great memories. [ad] We had the best walking partners- a 3-year old dog and my 2-year old son. This week, I wanted to try [...]
Heart Rate in the 808
What a day. I actually started out on the right side of the bed, waking up early and meeting my power partner for a walk around Kapiolani Park in Waikiki. The sun shone brightly and I found parking right away. Even my son was agreeable. I decided to try out the new heart monitor that my trainer [...]
Pushing 22kg for 3 Miles
I’ve been sick all week, so I’ve been pretty sedentary. As a work-at-home mom, it’s all too easy to justify the need to stay indoors, especially when a deadline is encroaching. But what about all the other times of the year? Luckily for me, I have my 2-year-old and my sister’s 3-year-old to keep me company. [...]
First Kettlebell Home Work Out
Okay, so my kettlebelll trainer gave me homework. On a Sunday! His reply to my e-mail? “Fat doesn’t take a break,” or something like that. So, while not extremely enthusiastic about it, I did agree with his reasoning. I didn’t gain these extra 55 pounds Monday through Friday. In fact, I probably ate more on the [...]
