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 know what you mean about not tracking just yet. I am always a bit up in water weight after a trip so it's nice just to eat healthy again and let my body adjust back to that before being too concerned about all the specific numbers.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we're not used to eating that much sodium in the form of deep dish and burgers so I don't even bother weighing in or tracking that first week back. I just want to get back into the groove and then focus on that stuff.
DeleteI have a few long running favorites - Supernatural, Bones, Castle, Walking Dead. And a few newer shows that I enjoy too like Sleepy Hollow and Gotham. I have to say though that, almost across the board, this season has been weak. Or maybe it's just me.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a weekend or one night getaway person than a true vacation person, so I don't need to book very far in advance.
No, I think you're right. I don't know if it's the sophomore slump on a few or writers are phoning it in on some shows. Let's hope it corrects itself soon!
DeleteI love Criminal Minds. I knew they were doing a "throw back" last night but I had no idea they were going to do that to Gideon. It makes sense, but it's still sad. I do like Reid's hair longer, too, and I think Garcia is looking good. Not a big fan of the newest addition, however.
ReplyDeleteAs far as long running shows go, I still watch CSI, but it's not a big deal if I miss it. I watched SVU for years, but not so much this past year. I like NCIS - I think I will always watch that as long as Mark Harmon stays on it.
Yeah I knew they were doing a throwback but for some reason didn't see that coming. :-\ Garcia is lookin' fine these days! I'm indifferent to JLH. I think they're purposely not giving her many lines (she doesn't seem nearly as involved as Jeanne Tripplehorn whom I liked). She's pregnant IRL now so we'll see how they deal with that. Likely big purses and tables.
DeleteI think we stopped watching CSI after Grissom left but the few episodes I've seen with Ted Danson, he seems to fit in well.
