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.

Back to reality and what I'm reading this week

Sigh, first week back from vacay, always so trying going from doing what you want all day with seemingly unlimited funds back to being in your usual routine like you never left.  

Oy.

How to Stay on Vacation Forever — These People Did It!  (I'm down)

We don't really have any plans for the holiday weekend.  Typically we plant flowers and herbs this weekend but it's been a rough transition week for the Mr back into work life so I'm going to let him decide if he's up for getting the lanai together or not.  I know a Trader Joe's run is in the future as we need chicken dogs to cook out and not feel like we're missing anything.

What's on your agenda this weekend?

  1. Back to reality is the right phrase for sure. I just wish our reality did involve this idea of being able to spend every day doing what you want to do and not what you have to do to earn a living. At least we have a whole summer to look forward to and we have the weekends!

  2. Some housework tonight, and a graduation party out of town tomorrow. Then just rest and relaxation and being glad that the school year is over.

  3. I'm on-call this weekend so I've already been dealing with a bunch of calls and things like that. Will be cutting the lawn here in a little bit, then plan on washing sheets and towels and getting my bathroom all done up since my rugs finally arrived. Lots of house stuff, but it sure beats being in the office!
