Non Scale Victories This Week

During last night's LIIFT 4 Shoulders workout, I saw an improvement over last weeks shoulder presses.  I was unable to do the 2nd and 3rd sets last week overhead after about 3-4 presses.  My left shoulder would literally fall like I'd lost all muscle control with 10 lb weights.  Yesterday I used the same 10 lbs and it wasn't until the 7th rep on the second set that I started to feel bad fatigue but pushed through.  On the third set my shoulders were shot but I was still able to push overhead even if slower.  I pushed to fatigue but didn't have that dangerous muscle drop I had before. The zinnias I grew from seed are mostly in full bloom and I took some pics before cutting some to put in a little vase.

The weekend is here!  Woo hoo!

I think the cold is letting up a bit this weekend so I want to get outta here, yo!  I need a change of scenery instead of seeing the house all the time.  But I hear snow could be making a comeback next week so I'll keep the snowshoes handy!

Any plans for the weekend?

  1. I am okay with more snow if we get at least one more snowshoe / cross country ski outing in before Spring. But the bitter cold has gotten old! Thanks for more great links. I see a few I need to check out right away.

  2. I love, love, love the dollar store! We have one about two minutes from here (next to PetSmart so how perfect is that?) and I get all kinds of stuff from there. Greeting cards (and good ones too!) 2 for $1...you can't beat that! And ours takes coupons, so you can walk out of there with free stuff sometimes.

    As for the weekend, I have to work tomorrow until noon and I'm dreading the drive because we are due to get 6-8 inches of snow overnight so I'll be right in the thick of it and have to drive 10 miles each way. I won't sleep a wink tonight because I'll be stressing about it. Ever since that dang car accident I'm a wreck in the car. Probably need to do some biofeedback therapy! LOL Once I get home I'll see what I want to do indoors. I managed to do the laundry yesterday on my half-day, so I'm thrilled to have that all taken care of. Beyond paying bills, the weekend is wide open. =o)
