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.

What I'm Reading This Week 2016 #2

Happy Friday all!

I don't mind telling you all I'm a little tired of watching movies of people who have recently passed away.  Monday we watched Labyrinth (affiliate link)  in honor of David Bowie and we watched Dogma (affiliate link)  last night in honor of Alan Rickman.  He did such a wonderful job as Metatron.  Sigh.

But enough about the jerk that is cancer taking more amazing people, let's get to...


New Study Finds Scented Candles and Air Fresheners Pose Dangerous Health Risks  (I try to get soy if I can but still...)

Diet to lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease also ranked No. 1 easiest to follow in 2016  (I'm on board except for the wine thing)

How to Exercise Outside—Even When It’s Freezing Cold  (Bundle up!)

20 Healthy, Amazing Freezer Meals  (Yum!)

‘David Bowie Changed My Life’: Nile Rodgers Remembers His ‘Let’s Dance’ Collaborator  (Absolutely wonderful article by Nile Rodgers)

Adele Carpool Karaoke  (I'm sure you've seen it but in case you haven't.  You don't even need to be a fan to love this)

Okay, for real this weekend we're tackling Christmas stuff.  I need to get stuff organized in the basement before anything can be put away so my plan is to start that today.  Today is day 5 of our program and it's thankfully stretching day.  I'm so looking forward to that as well.

What are y'all getting into this weekend?

    While I love those movies I agree, it's not cool that we had to watch them due to losing two great human beings in the same week! Happy Friday everybody!
