THE MONSTER ARMS! (and o my we have the same elbows too...)
Me and my mom have the same back....yikes.
The woman who started it all.....Grams!
Built in Wings....
Three generations of the monster arms...
So this is a follow up blog on the "monster drumstick arms"......this is where it all began. The 2 older women in me and Randi's life. They are the cause of all this humbug... lol, crap!!! My Mom and my grams. Those are the only 2 people that are still alive and have evidence of this generational curse....so I can make fun of them as much as I want.
Family time has been really wonderful this weekend visiting my Waianae ohana. My mom recently moved to oahu to take care of my grandparents....which makes me the last person still on Maui...(excluding my wonderful cousin Nainoa and his parents). I have always had lots of family around me all the time so these short trips are always bittersweet. And with the recent move back of my sister to the islands from middle america I feel like a part of me has come back to complete me. There is nothing like reuniting with your brother or sister after years of separation. Having your siblings move away to the mainland for long stretches of time kinda make you feel like the only child sometimes. It's a weird feeling for sure. But I am soooo happy to have my sister back. Maybe one day we can actually get her back to the right Island...RFM we shall pray for that. :)
anyway, enough with the making fun of Randi....time to tie this into my crossfit life.
I am happy to report that I have done........zero crossfit anything while on vacation. ha! just kidding I did demonstrate my progress on doing a pistol squat for my sister....but thats about it. Kaika brought his 'Abmat' and jump rope so that he can still feel like he did something while here. But not me. All I did was eat, shop, sight see, eat, eat, eat........o my. Good thing this trip ends today because I really need to stop this destructive cycle of gluttony.
Although I did find me some PINK CONVERSE SHOES....I can't afford Oly shoes yet....and probably ever because In just a few weeks I am going to be jobless....so this pink find was a blessing. Plus, because they were children size, it was only $24. O YEA! I'm ready now....bring on the SNATCH.....or not. ;)
Anyway, see all y'all tonight at the gym! I'm excited to be coming back.....if these pictures aren't motivation enough to get my ass to the gym I don't know what is. Dips, pull ups, push ups, squats, lunges, and yes even Burpees....here I come!
