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.

Weekend went by way too fast as usual but we made the most of a rainy day and I like that. It's pretty cool that they put this all together for their hometown hero. Glad he gets to stop by from time to time too. He is a class act.
ReplyDeleteYeah it seemed it got sucked down the tubes pretty quickly. I really loved seeing the alley and I wish I could draw because I would totally add the screenshot shown at the concert where he broke his leg and came back to finish the show. Beat that Chuck Norris!
DeleteWhat a cool road trip!! It speaks volumes for his character that he still comes home and appreciates his community after becoming famous. He deserves those big ass drumsticks!! Have a great Monday.... I personally am having some trouble getting motivated this morning....just not feelin' it!
ReplyDeleteIt is really cool! Definitely worth a side trip if you're within a few hours and a fan!
DeleteWhen you're not feeling it is when you need to do it most. Tell yourself you'll do 10 minutes and if you keep on going after 10 minutes then all the better. YOU CAN DO IT!!! Now, get off yer butt! ;-)
This weekend mom came over for her birthday celebration and she had a wonderful time. She LOVED the memo boards I put together for her with all her friends thoughts about her--I have to say it turned out so cute! She got the ribs she wanted from Portillo's and we had lemon meringue pie for her birthday dessert. I sent her home with marinated strawberries (her favorite) so she was set for dessert for the week. I took her and the dogs out for a drive in the country in the rain which was beautiful. We got to see a momma horse and her youngin' trotting together as the momma was teaching him/her. That was awesome to just sit and watch. The hubs took care of getting the food which he waited 30 minutes in line for, and the timing was good because we got home at the same time. Sunday I was a slug and barely moved. I managed to do one load of laundry (luckily that's all I had left for the week) and read and slept. I was soooooo tired from getting over the strep thing, and the last minute rush with mom's gift Thursday and Friday. I finished it on Friday at 9:30pm. So I allowed myself a day to do absolutely nothing and not feel bad about it. I didn't even venture outside--the hubs said it was so humid, so I took his word for it and stayed in the a/c. I'm dragging today just because I go into work so early on Mondays, but did manage to grocery shop after work, so I feel good about that. I'm watching American Ninja Warrior tonight and going straight to bed.
ReplyDeleteNot a lot here. Chores on Saturday, and then Sunday afternoon I took the boy up to my folks' so he can spend the week with his grandparents. I came back Monday so that made for a short trip. I need to spend this week tackling some pretty major projects around the house, and I just can't get motivated to start. One more cup of coffee and I'm on the move, ready or not.
