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.

Can I Get a Witness?- Weigh In

2 lbs down!  The Mr and I dance...

Isolating my thumb is proving to be a pain in the arm (and neck) with my sling but I'll do whatever it takes to heal it right now.  Ice, massages and finding interesting new ways to open jars using one hand.  This weekend I will be re-working our exercise plan for the rest of the month to include non-punching activitahs and given I burned 1165 calories just hiking at our local park on a non-sweltering day and 830 in 38 minutes of step aerobics, (cue Mary Tyler Moore music) "I might just make it after alllllll!"

    Very cool, congrats on the weight loss!! I had forgotten about the massage part of my recovery. That helped a lot too!

    So I was thinking about hiking and stepping . . . . . . maybe you could add some step dancing??? Oh, wait, I only suggest things I'd do myself and that has danger written all over it. Flying body parts, you know. NEVER MIND. Have a great and fun weekend!

    Good for you!! Would physical therapy help the thumb to heal any quicker? Your determination (stubbornness? lol) ever amazes and inspires me!

    YES YOU CAN!

    Great loss. I know the scale has been giving you a hard time lately, but you deserve a loss every single week.

    Certainly a big WOOHOO from my corner of the world. And the hiking is wonderful...you can manage to go for a little while longer without punching things, I suppose.
