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.

The food was out of this world. Even the s'mores were awesome despite the mishap with that contraption. Great weekend but yes I definitely need some rest!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty dang good. I feel like I've been dragged behind a truck and there's been no formal exercise! Yeesh!
DeleteThat fruit salad looks divine!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you'll have to tell me what Millionaire's bacon is!
Bacon dusted with cayenne, ground black pepper and brown sugar then baked in the oven until divine. :-) Luckily two pieces isn't enough to throw a wrench into things.
DeleteThe S'Mores contraption looks like it didn't quite work out as planned. I bet they were still yummy though. The breakfast we're pretending you didn't make looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHubby pulled muscles in his back and stomach last week, so we didn't do much this weekend since he's still healing. I did some housework and spent a lot of time sleeping catching up from the lack of sleep over the last few weeks of school.
We are leaving Thursday to go cabin camping in the mountains though so next weekend will more than make up for this one.
Yeah, it's one to chalk under the "better in theory than in practice" on that one. I think we're giving it one more shot but basically the chocolate just turns to goo and oozes out everywhere. *rolling eyes*
DeleteHope hubby gets to feeling better soon and sometimes sleep is just what you need. Have fun in the mountains!
