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.

Streak broken and what I'm reading this week

Welp, as predicted, I broke my streak of getting this stuff up and done two days before posting.  Matter of fact, I didn't start this at 10:00pm, I started at 10:39pm.

Idiot.

  3. So how was Parenthood? No, don't tell me, I've got it DVR'd. That show is so real, real is every member of your family is drop-dead gorgeous I mean. I still like it. Been a Lauren Graham fan since Gilmore Girls!

  4. Yesterday was the hub's birthday and our anniversary so mom is coming over today to celebrate that. We've had a change of plans because of her fatigue so we're just going to take her down to the riverwalk and hang out there so she can watch the ducks. We'll bring the pups so they can get a good walk in with the hubs while she and I can sit and talk. Then we're going out for an early dinner near our home. The house cleaning is done so all I'll have left tomorrow is a couple of loads of laundry and that's it. =o) And of course I'll be catching football games in between it all today and tomorrow!
