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.

Such a great idea to have a rest day in the middle of the week. I need to start doing that too, my knees would thank me for it, I run over an hour 5 times a week.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about feeling guilty. I feel guilty on my rest days too, though I know my body needs them. It's so weird.
Enjoy your well deserved rest day, and hopefully your knees will feel better tomorrow!
Sounds like you definitely need it!
ReplyDeleteHey hon! I followed you over here from Sparkpeople. (I'm known as Getting_To_Goal there). I look forward to following you through the rest of your weight loss journey! :)
ReplyDeleteI remember that going to 7 days was a big change, so I think a day off 'in the middle' is fine. Enjoy!
