As my last weigh-in day of January, I’m counting this as the last day of the challenge month. I reached 10000 swings on Wednesday and continued regular weights workouts and even got in 5000 and 10000 steps on the good weather days we had this week. Assessment of the 10K Kettlebell Swings Challenge: I definitely …

10K Kettlebell Swings Challenge COMPLETE!
Yes I made it to 10000 kettlebell swings! I finished today with 400 swings with just the 40lb-er. This Sunday, weekly weigh-in day, I will post a wrap up of the results of the month. Well, the three weeks it took! My hands stood up quite well. My callouses are fine, my hands did not …
Kettlebell Weight Loss Challenge: One More Pound
Sunday morning is weigh-in time and I’m down one more pound in what seems to have become the Kettlebell Weight Loss Challenge. That seems to fit considering it’s the third week and I lost FOUR pounds last week! I’m amazed in general! I figure I can keep going with it or let myself eat a …
Killer Kettlebell Cardio!
Today I combined kettlebell swings with high intensity intervals on the manual treadmill for killer kettlebell cardio!

The Daily Diet that’s Causing Weight Loss

I have not changed anything I do regularly except high volume kettlebell swings EVERY DAY!!! I’m actually surprised that I …
Start the Week Off Right
First weekday with BodyBugg. It’s going to be a low burn day. A quarter till 10pm and I’m just over 1600 calories for the day. I had wanted to get out for a walk but I get busy with my book and the hours fly by! I got my sleep all screwed up by staying …
Two Pound Loss in this First Week
I am not generally working toward weight loss but it would appear I dropped two pounds this week. I weigh every Sunday morning. I was delightfully surprised! I did not change my usual diet at all which is decidedly quite health-supporting and I did my usual weights workouts. Put this in perspective. My weight has …
