NOT "HUMP DAY" FOR ME BUT A "PUMP DAY" INSTEAD!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I'VE NOTICE THAT PEOPLE LIKE CONSIDER "WEDNESDAYS" AS "HAPPY HUMP DAY" BUT FOR ME IT WAS MORE LIKE "HAPPY PUMP DAY" FOR ME BECAUSE I SURE WAS "PUMPED" UP AND READY TO GO...  GO...  GO...  LOL!!!

AND NOOO...  I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A SEXUAL WAY EITHER!!!

YESTERDAY AT WORK FOR SOME ODD REASON MY LOWER RIGHT-SIDE BACK FELT LIKE IT JUST GAVE OUT AND A SHARP PAIN WAS JUST PIERCING EVERY NOW AND THEN...  IT WAS SO BAD THAT I COULDN'T STAND UP STRAIGHT AS IF I NEEDED A WALKER...  PRETTY SCARY IF YOU ASK ME...  BUT I'VE HAD THIS EVERY NOW AND THEN AND I ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF THAT IT WAS PART OF AGING AND THAT I JUST NEED TO TOUGH IT OUT.

SO THIS MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP...  MY BACK WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN THAT I'VE DECIDED NOT TO GO TO MY "AEROBICS CLASS" WHICH WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO DO AS I HAVE ONE MORE CLASS THIS COMING FRIDAY AND ITS OVER UNTIL NEXT AUGUST.  SO I CHOSE TO REST UP MORE AND HOPED IT WOULD FEEL BETTER WHEN I WAKE UP LATER ON.

SO I WAKE UP AT 9AM AND MY BACK FELT A LITTLE BETTER BUT I COULD STILL FEEL IT EVERY NOW AND THEN.  I DID SOME STRETCHES AND THEN I'VE DECIDED TO GO FORWARD WITH MY "STRENGTH TRAINING" AND MY FIRST EXERCISE WAS, "DUMBBELL SQUATS" AND GUESS WHAT...  AS SOON AS I DID MY FIRST SET OF "SQUATS"...  MY BACK PAIN JUST DISAPPEARED!!!  SERIOUSLY!!!  IT JUST HAPPENED SO QUICK AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS OR SO!!!  I WAS LIKE...  "WHAT???"

AND THEN I JUST DID THE REST OF MY EXERCISES LIKE NO PROBLEM AND I DID IT WITH PURPOSE AND I WAS GRUNTING LIKE I WAS IN A "SPARTAN BATTLE"...  LOL...  WHILE LISTENING TO THE "300 MOVIE SOUNDTRACK" CRANKED UP SUPER LOUD!!!

AS SOON AS I GOT DONE WITH MY TRAINING...  I HIT MY PROTEIN SHAKE AND PUT ON MY RUNNING SHOES AND HEADED OUT TO MEET UP WITH MY SISTER, BROYLINE AT HER WORK PLACE TO JOIN ME FOR A WALK DURING HER LUNCH BREAK.

MY STARTING POINT...  HOME.

I ARRIVED AT BROYLINE'S WORK PLACE EARLIER THAN PLANNED...  I THINK I RAN TOO FAST...  LOL...  BUT THAT'S A GOOD THING RIGHT???

TOO BEAUTIFUL TO WASTE AWAY!!!

  

AFTER AN "AWWWESOME" EARLY NOON WITH AKUA'S BLESSINGS...  IT WAS TIME FOR TO GO HOME AND EAT LUNCH AND THEN GET READY FOR WORK!!!

AWWWRITE!!!

WAIPA

BEST WEEK EVER... AND ITS ONLY TUESDAY!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT ME AND THIS WEEK...  ITS ONLY TUESDAY AND I'M FIRED UP FOR WHATEVER REASONS...  MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I'M GOING HOME SOON TO SEE KAHEALANI...  MAYBE ITS BECAUSE "TEAM AWWWRITE!!!" IS STARTING TO BUILD MOMENTUM...  MAYBE ITS BECAUSE SPRING SEASON IS HERE AND SUMMER TO FOLLOW...  OR MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO LIVE "MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE!!!"

MY MONDAY MORNING BEGINS WITH MY "AEROBICS CLASS".

MY "AWWWESOME" COACHES...  DAWN, MY AEROBICS INSTRUCTOR AND CINDI, MY ZUMBA INSTRUCTOR!!!

THESE 2 LADIES HAS TRULY IMPACTED ME FOR A BETTER & HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH DAWN & CINDI FOR BEING THERE FOR ME AND OTHERS!!!

AS SOON AS I GOT HOME I GOT INVITED TO JOIN MY BROTHERS FOR BREAKFAST AT THE YKHC CAFETERIA WITH KA'IWA, THOR, AND GARY.

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH MY POWER BREAKFAST...  LOL!!!

AS SOON AS I GOT HOME I WENT AND STARTED ON MY STRENGTH TRAINING...

AND THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP MY MONDAY BEFORE I HEAD OUT TO WORK.

BUT IT DIDN'T END RIGHT THERE...

WHILE I WAS AT WORK I RECEIVED A TEXT FROM...

DENISE & BROYLINE AND GINGER TOO...  ALL WENT WALKING!!!  I SO WISH I COULD JOIN THEM!!!

THIS MADE ALL MORE FIRED UP!!!

AND THAT CONCLUDED MY MONDAY.

AND NOW TUESDAY IS JUST BEGINNING...

I DROPPED OFF MY FRIEND'S TRUCK AND THEN STARTED TO RUN A DIFFERENT ROUTE BACK HOME...

I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS OTHER ROUTE AND I'M GLAD I GOT TO GO CHECK IT OUT!!!  IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY OUT AND THERE'S NO EXCUSES FOR NOT ENJOYING IT...  "TEAM AWWWRITE!!!" STYLE.

THE RIVER IS STILL FROZEN AND ITS STILL THAWING OUT, THE BREEZE WAS PERFECT, THE SKIES ARE BLUER THAN EVER WITH SUN SHINING STRONG!!!

AS SOON AS I GOT HOME...  MY GOOD BROTHER GARY CALLS ME UP AND...

THATS RIGHT PEOPLE...  TIRES ARE IN!!!  YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS???

ITS "TIRE FLIPPING", "TIRE DRAGGING", "TIRE SLEDGEHAMMERING", "TIRE PULLING"...  ANY QUESTIONS!!!
