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.

Well today I get to meet my new gynie since they had to reschedule me.  Thanks so much for upping my appointment so I've got about 20 lbs of malasada, sodium and stress bloat still hanging on me.  I can only hope to be normal weight by next visit...if I like her.

If not, I'm scooping my own ovaries out and then just not caring about the whole regular period/birth control thing and I'll be good to go.  Did I mention since the unnecessary callback mammogram and the airline hopping including an unnecessary scan due to a cancelled flight, I've been radiated by machines SEVEN TIMES in 5 1/2 months?  It's a wonder I'm not crapping glow worms.  Sorry.  As you can see, I probably shouldn't have written this after getting screwed by Budget, American Airlines and my doctors office.

What are you up to this weekend?

  1. No better way to get back into my routine than to have your Friday links available to me when I'm working!

  2. Oy, the dreaded doctor appointment. I so hope you like her and she's a great communicator. When you mentioned your mammogram it reminded me I need to make my appointment as well. I'm behind on mine but was told not to go during recovery from surgery. Now that's done with, so I need to hop on this.

    Not sure of the plans for this weekend other than house stuff. I'm in a packing and pitching mood so hopefully I'll stay motivated to keep doing that. I may meet up with a friend for breakfast on Sunday morning. I got the laundry done yesterday and my kitchen is still looking good so those are two big things I don't have to worry about. I'll send you pics of the cabinet.

  3. Thanks for all the good links. I love The Rock! And I couldn't agree with you more - I hate American Airlines. They left us for dead at Dallas last year and I vowed to never fly them again! Sorry your trip was spoiled. I was following you on Instagram and thought "those lucky ducks..." Oh, and thanks for the laugh - "crapping glow worms"! Enjoy your weekend!
