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.

Tough to choose a favorite this week but I might have to go with the arancini alredo. It was so good! I'm so lucky to have you making these wonderful and healthy meals!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that surprises me but glad to know you liked it! I wasn't sure how it would taste using alfredo over the marinara but with spicy chicken it was pretty good!
DeleteI'm pretty much living on leftovers I froze and thrown together salads. I'm wickedly busy at work and studying for my license. SO Tuesday night was the first, real, warm, homecooked meal I had. Fried eggs and turnip greens lol. I've had a bowl or two of pasta lately as well but that's nothing special.
ReplyDeleteI did make this AH_MAZING roast in my crockpot a few weeks ago. Nom! The leftovers did not freeze too great - the meat is fine but the veggies are meh =/
I'm having leftover chicken chili soon, can't wait for that. I will be cooking this weekend. I've challenge myself to essentially empy out my freezer before my test. Since I'm bulk cooking with a friend shortly after. I'm terrible about freezing things and not touching it for months...
There is nothing like roast. It is roast season for sure! If you haven't invested in a Food Saver yet, consider it, especially if you freeze a lot. We've had things that probably shouldn't freeze well do really well once we flash freeze them and then freeze them in the bags.
DeleteTuesday night we had taco salad in these cute little soft taco shell boats I found. I baked them to crisp them up a bit, and they turned out amazingly good with way less calories than a true taco salad bowl, and just the right portion size. Last week I made potato soup that came out pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteYour chicken looks pretty good. Is the sauce your recipe?
Like your reader above, I'm in clean out the freezer mode too. I really need to get through everything there before I buy anything more - but then I keep finding things on sale and I hate to pass up a good sale.
Taco Tuesday baby!! Sounds delicious!
DeleteThe sauce is light Classico alfredo and I added herbs from the garden (chives, thyme and rosemary.) So I cheated a little. ;-)
It must be that time of year, I'm trying to get the freezer cleaned out too!
Pumpkin bagels with a cinnamon cream cheese would be like pumpkin pie for breakfast! Can't imagine why I'm fat. LOL.
ReplyDeleteBwahaha!
DeleteI said the same thing to my girlfriend when I found out they were releasing Cinnamon Roll Oreos in January. "Ugh, I will always be obese!"
