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 am so glad we saw JP 3D. It was great watching it in a theater again next to my most favorite person in the world. It was kind of a like when we went there as a date in 1993 back in the day. I have to say I was quite emotional at times while watching it too. And seeing Kauai on the Imax screen along with the 3D was almost like being there!
ReplyDeleteI am proud of us for not even bringing up the idea of anything to eat at the theater. We did good. Now if we could just get through a movie without having to pee! And I'm not just getting after you for that. I was busting a gut by the time that movie ended!
Yes, it was like dating back in the day. I know, we just watched it not too long ago but I guess with all the anticipation, we know we're going home and we need it desperately. Nope, didn't even bring up the idea which was good! I tried to pick the least eventful time to go wee but of course I missed the water ripple from the TRex. BLARG!
ReplyDeleteNon-scale victory?
ReplyDeleteI've walked 24 miles (so far) since Monday. And I've had one yoga session and one strength training session. So I'm completely on track for my exercise. The weather may tag me out for any more walking this week (I only schedule it for M-F) but I'm aiming for one more yoga session (today) and one more ST (Fri). Then, I get the weekend OFF. Any exercise I do will be "bonus".
And (in a non-healthy accomplishment) I registered some art to be displayed at Art All Night. Now I just need to finish it! (I'm making a 6 foot long stuffed toy squid)
Not much in the way of scale or non-scale victories for me this week. It's been too cold to get out and walk at lunch and I've been having what I call bottomless pit days - no matter how much I eat I can't seem to fill up. I don't know what that's about, the only thing I can do it make sure I have healthy snacks with me today.
ReplyDeleteI noticed a faint outline of what will one day be abs this morning - rather excited. After my run, I did some random movements in my living room (I'm in a points challenge with people from college so I wanted to get some points today)
ReplyDeleteI also had my best 30s plank EVER last night =]
my non-scale victory was getting into a size 12p jeans!!! I haven't been in a size 12 in at least 14 years!!!
ReplyDeleteoooh I wanted to see JPark 3D...love me some T-REX!! Good going on the candy...my NSV was fitting into my jeans that were a tighter squeeze..yay
ReplyDeleteI am super happy that while my husband and I went on vacation I was able to enjoy the food and not go overboard. I made good choices overall and allowed myself a couple of indulgences. As a result, I didn't gain any weight. Normally days of eating out would have me up several pounds, but we did TONS of walking there, so I think it helped. So, I guess you could say this victory is sorta scale related, but even if I did gain weight I wouldn't have been that upset, because I truly felt like I ate well and it was balanced, and that is progress for me.
ReplyDeleteMy victory has been a full week of abstinent eating which, for me, has been 3 meals a day with one snack of either fruit or vegetables or cheese stick at 11am (I don't eat lunch till 2pm) with no eating in between. It's been challenging to rethink my eating and not obsess about it, but it's really been ok. And as so veeeeeery tempted I am to weigh myself I'm not going to...not until July 8th, a full 90 days. I even when to dinner tonight with some friends to a new Mexican place (new to me) and had a lovely meal and felt no desire to overinduldge. Now I'm done til tomorrow morning. I've been making an awesome egg sandwich in the morning and have felt so satisfied with that!
