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.

Mmm hmm - Weigh In

Down another pound.

My mind immediately says "still up one from pre-vacay gain and 2 from lowest point ever."  Sorry guys, I'm not a Pollyanna. My mind doesn't jump up and down for the loss until they're pounds I'm not re-losing and nothing is going to change my mindset on that.  So I guess don't expect any excitement from me for another 3 lbs.   Which should be another 3 weeks from now if the past 2 weeks are any indicator.  *beats head against the wall*

Between that and potential plans for today falling apart, I'm not in a great mood.  Can't wait to tell the Mr. about that one as he'll win the bet if plans do fall through.  Sigh.

EDIT:  Our plans did not fall through and we had a great time.  The weight thing still sucks though, just to clarify.  HA!

  2. You may lose your bet, but I'm pretty sure you'll manage to salvage the day somehow.

  4. I have the same attitude unfortunately. It doesn't feel like a "real" loss until it's a "new" loss! Although you have to admit, the amount of work it takes is the same, which has to count for something!

  5. I feel exactly the same way you do. I don't count it as a loss unless it's under my previous low weight.

    I hope your day turned out okay.

  7. So make this the worst thing that's going to happen today. I know you're going to find all kinds of good things to cancel out this one not-so-good thing.

    Happy Sunday!

  9. OMGosh you kill me! I have been stuck playing with the same danged 4 pounds for the longest time. At least you are losing. I would kill to be down one pound each week. You allow yourself so much that I do not allow myself, so an up for me is just futility. I don't have high cal days or a "week off." I just suck lately; stuck at a plateau. Be happy with what you have and don't focus on what you haven't achieved.

  11. Yeah, I'm kind of a glass half empty girl myself, so I understand how you feel. But I can still tell you that you are awesome for losing a pound. You don't have to believe it, but I get to say it!
