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.

Christmas is a-comin' and what I'm reading this week

Here...now that I have the song in my head, you should too!

It's been a crazy busy week for me this week.  Between baking and the workouts we've done, my every 3 month hormonal migraine that chose the worst time to hit...my body is throwing up the white flag.  I'm going to give it a little TLC by doing yoga/stretching because I think one more hard workout will put it over the edge.  Sometimes you just need to listen to your body and give it what it needs.  It's something we should all remember, especially this time of year when we all tend to run ourselves ragged.

But enough about my semi-broken bod...let's get to...

It's a super busy weekend.  We've got company coming tomorrow night.  I'm glad it's something as simple as a roast.  Hopefully they like it and the twice baked potatoes and roasted carrots.  They offered up a restaurant but the thought of being out with people doing holiday get togethers in a loud place just is not my idea of fun right now.  Then Sunday the Mr sees Star Wars with my cousin and then we have a holiday gathering.  Crap, I forgot I need to make stuff for that.  Sigh.

1 week til Christmas!  Enjoy this weekend because next weekend, it's all over!  :-\

What are y'all up to this weekend?

  1. Wow. Here we are again. One week until Christmas! I'm definitely ready for it though and looking forward to those little slower quiet moments we get in between all the chaos.

  2. Mostly stressing out that it's only a week away and I'm nothing like ready. Today is the last day of school before break, so at least I'll have next week to get caught up.
