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.

I agree. I am up a pound from before thanksgiving but up 3 from my lowest so back to basics. I have events events every weekend till new years so am going to be very dedicated in between all these things. We will just keep going, yes? Yes.
ReplyDeleteYep, that was a success all the way around! Weeks like this are when you *know* you can do this long-term and continue to experience and enjoy life along the way!
ReplyDeleteIt comes with the territory! You gain some, you lose some. You gotta let it roll off your back, or you'd just be miserable about it. If you had a good time, then it was totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteDefinite success! I'm trying to learn that success comes in many shapes and sizes, and I learned some from this post too!
ReplyDeleteThe most important thing is that you enjoyed your trip. We'll get back on track!
ReplyDeleteI really love the way you let yourself LIVE when on vacation. I think that if I was ever able to take a vacation (see the sarcasm there? Teehee!) I would want to do just what you do!
ReplyDeleteI love your posts, I just spent a good amount of time reading around. Your FAQ section sounds like you've received a lot of criticism and I just wanted to say I think you are an inspiration. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks all! I appreciate the comments and support!
ReplyDeleteShellsea- Welcome! So glad you're making yourself at home and hope to see you back again! Yes, if it's one thing I've found when it comes to weight loss is everyone thinks their way is the best way & have no problem criticizing someone else's way of doing it if they don't agree. Some people think there is no way I can succeed while eating sugar or pizza & like to tell me that. I think almost 200 lbs off says otherwise. ;) I hate coming off defensive in my FAQ's but unfortunately it's been deemed necessary. Hope that doesn't scare you off! LOL
I went out of town for Thanksgiving, and when I returned, I was about 2 pounds down. I was visiting with family. I find that my eating is always much better when I am around people that I enjoy. It's not all about the food, but also about the company. Don't get me wrong, "The food was banging." I was able to enjoy myself without worrying about my weight.
