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.

Inching toward remodel finish and what I'm reading this week

It's Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-daayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

*Insert booty poppin' dance here*  (I refuse to call it twerking.)

Yesterday I was quite productive.  I hacked up a bamboo valance, thought I broke it, saved it, hung it in a weird way and used unconventional ties that allowed me to fix a crooked and off balance valance hang job.  (That is one letter off from being very dirty)  I'll share it with you when I take the final pic.

I did a Fall project and in an attempt to do it an easy way, it turned into the hard way of course and I was just ready to slap it up on the front door.  I got some hangers spray painted and the Mr is going to take care of those for me today since I want to get our curtains up.  I'll be finishing up the table today and hopefully have it moved in tonight or tomorrow.  I can't wait to be done with the big stuff!  Par-tay y'all!

But enough of that jazz, let's get to...

    1. I know, I'm sorry it's taken this long. Between the weather in the beginning and my waning enthusiasm, I've dragged this out. Glad you liked Dave Grohl's challenge video. Now I'm done seeing them clog up my damn feed. Donate quietly and stop injuring yourselves people. It's ridiculous how many people have ended up in the hospital over this.

  2. If given the chance, I would take BOTH Chris Pratt and Ryan Gosling!!! Although it's kind of amazing the way Chris Pratt goes from soft and cuddly to absolutely ripped, seemingly at will.

  4. I have my meeting tomorrow morning, then depending on how awful it is outside we *might* take a trip to the apple orchard that opened today. I like to go when it's not crowded and mom really likes one of the salad dressings they carry so I'll buy up a bunch of bottles for her. If we don't do that, then it's house stuff. I didn't grocery shop last week so we are in dire need of some staples. I was given a recipe for freeze-ahead vegetable soup and I just my pull out my handy dandy crock pot and give that a go.

    1. Apple orchard should be fun! Don't do house stuff, it'll be there when you get back. Hee hee...I'm bad.
