Hello! How’s your life?
Today I did part of Jillian’s Abs II and a 3 mile walk. Saw this on the stroll which made me wish I ran…
Thursday Thoughts
Okay I need your thoughts on something very important…
Last week my brother and I were talking and he said he has cankles on his arms – as in, his wrist and hand just kinda flow together. But we don’t know what to call it?! Wrands? Forehand?
So I need your thoughts – what do we call this condition? *Note this is my veiny arm, not his.
I’d like to take a minute to thank my Mom for the abnormally large hands and feet, hopefully I’ll have athletic Serena Williams kinda babies and it’ll be worth all the embarrassement.
Question: Have you ever gotten a card from your brother that says, “Sorry about your cankles.” ?
Because I have.
I haven’t gotten a card about that, but I got a birthday card from my Grandma once that read “happy birthday sweetie, Petie died” in reference to her bird… and I too have extremely veiny hands or “crack hands” and feet as my boyfriend calls them… and my swimmers are a size 9.. in most shoes, and I’m only 5’3″ . . ..
That looks like so much fun, I need a good hike in the sunshine! I think that will be another month away here in Minnesota.
I vote wrands!
Uhh yeah, I was 13 when my 16 year old sister tactfully said “oh… Wow you have cankels” I was 5’5″ and 95lbs (lol to jr high/pre-adolescence days). I’ve never been the same since!
I wear 11, but my running shoes are 11.5
No, but I totally do have cankles. Proof:

It’s a sad fact I’m forced to live with.
My arm/wrist looks just like yours. I have huge hands. No idea where they came from everyone else has small fingers but me and now my oldest daughter.
🙂
I used to wear size 12 and when I lost weight my feet got “skinny” and now I’m an 11 with really narrow heels. When people say I have big feet, I counter with – if I was this tall with small feet, I’d tip over.
Love the sidewalk chalk! I kinda wanna do that outside of my house now just so I can see people get all pumped up and inspired when they read it! Except, knowing my neighbors they will just make a snarky face in the general direction of my house with that whole, “why the hell is she always so freaking happy?!” look they tend to give me…
I luckily do not have cankles, wrands or a heck (though I agree with the person who said that is the worst of the 3). Love the card … if I had a brother, I would hope he would send me that card 🙂
no cankles or wrands for me – and I’m on the other end of the spectrum with abnormally tiny hands and feet! shopping in the kids section is
the embarrassing thing of my life!
i have size 11 feet 🙁 and i think i may have the same condition as your brother.. frists? where your forearm meets your wrists? who knows.. all i know is i have it .. and its all bone.. no weight loss will ever take these bad boys away.
I love the chalk art! My brother is 23 and in the midst of finishing grad school and taking the CPA exams and sent me a picture yesterday that said “Damn Girl Back that thing up” “Or you’re gunna lose all your files” HUMOR.
Haha awesome sidewalk inspiration! Also, I have those sandals in gold and I’m OBSESSED. They’re the best things ever and they go with ev-er-y-thin-g.
I have small feet (size 4.5-5) and smaller hands for my smaller body, haha. I don’t quite know what my response would be if I got a card like that. 😛
I love Jillian’s Revolution workouts. Time to get ready for summer, ugh. It was a long winter for me and I defiantly need to work on my beach body now!
I think I need someone to go through my running route and write inspiring messages for me. That’s actually a cute idea for something to do for a hometown race if you want to cheer on the runners in a different way. It sounds like you have a pretty great relationship with your brother. 😉 Happy weekend!
Worse than cankles or wrands is the heck (head + neck, aka no chin)!
Hi Monica,
I love you site. It’s brilliant. It really is – I can see you love what you do here.
Now to your feet – I gotta say I actually really like them. I think they’re pretty. No cankels or wrands here but I do have broad feet 🙂
Thanks for a fantastic site.
Cankles or wrands – who cares? I have Hobbit feet – but my boyfriend still massages them regularly, you are what you are!
I’ve small feet…and ugly toenails. Sorry, no cankles.
My sister once told me i have fat thumbs. It wasn’t in a mean way, it was just a conversational “you have fat thumbs.” Then she told me not to worry, cause we all do… I’m still unsure of this though.
I vote for wrands all the way. Has a good ring to it.
Also, i haven’t tried part 2 of six week six pack yet. Part one pretty much kills me, so i’m kind of terrified of part 2. Is it as scary as i’m imagining?
My feet are pretty tiny, but I have abnormally fat fingers. Rough life. 🙂
Me too. Oh well 🙂
My husband says I have boxy fingers. WTH?
Jillian rocks!!
I sort-of have cankles – not my favorite but it is what it is!!
You could call the wrist/hand situation – wargoyles.
I keep being told I have small feet! I wear 7.5’s or 8’s. I like it 🙂
I think you have average feet. I wear a 5 1/2 in “regular” shores but 6 1/2 in my running shoes.
I did get a note from my sister once apologizing for throwing a camera at my head 🙂 i like wrands. As in “did you see the wrands on that red head doing bicep curls, daa-aam” lol 😉
I think I have big feet. Are size 10s big for a lady?
I love your sandals, by the way!
I have size 13 feet so I feel you on the big feet issue!
I thought I had big feet with a size 11! 🙂
I love Jillian and I love the encouraging quote you found on the sidewalk! Fortunately for me, I do not have cankles or wrands.
