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 #23

It's finally Friday y'all!  Are ya ready for the weekend?  We are!

Let's get right to...





Been There, Ate That: Experimenting With Different Nutrition Protocols  (Interesting)

11 Foods That Are Loaded With Potassium (Besides Bananas)  (Eat up!)

Charcoal Grill Anything With This Visual Guide  (I'm printing this out!  Oh, I should probably get a charcoal grill first)

Are Steel-Cut Oats That Much Healthier Than Rolled Oats?  (When mine run out, I'm going back to the old ones.  Not a fan of steel cut)

More on detoxification and smart lifestyle choices  (A rare health article from the Garden Isle)

Read this before you lug home that jackfruit  (We were just looking at these at the Asian market last weekend!  Good info!)

The 12 Best and Worst Sugar Substitutes  (Really great breakdown of them all)

Take Your Workout to the Beach With These Running Tips  (Take 'em into consideration if you're into making the sand work for you)

Get Your Roll On – What, Why, And How You Should Foam Roll  (I desperately need to roll.  My legs are so screwed up from the few times I wore flip flops on the trip.)

16 People Confess: What They Saw at a Wedding That Convinced Them the Marriage Would End in Divorce  (Holy crap!)

9 Things You Do That Make You Less Likeable  (#4 will get you a big fat sigh, eye roll and ask you if you'd like to be somewhere else and if so, go there.)

How Much Does Everyone Working on a Blockbuster Movie Get Paid?  (Pretty cool to see.  Courtesy of the Mr.)

Living With The Ghost Of ‘Six Feet Under’  (EXCELLENT read for SFU fans.  In the middle of season 2 on our "re-education."  Every time we re-watch it, usually every 2 years, we learn something else.  There will never be another show like it.)

I don't think we have any concrete plans this weekend other than trying not to melt.  It's supposed to be swamp ass hot and I have no intent of partaking in that shizz.  I do want to get to the farmers market as soon as they open and I'm hoping it's not a stagnant morning so it's at least tolerable.  It's in a self righteous part of town so I need to get in and out before my lack of filter gets me in trouble.  Me + heat + obnoxious turds could = jail.

It's also grocery weekend so I need to take care of that.  I did a test recipe the other night and couldn't stop smiling so I think ahi will be on the list.

What are you guys into this weekend?

  2. As always, I love your Friday line-up! The potassium foods was good timing for me because I have to limit my potassium....I never realized what a big deal it is to have too much potassium in your blood. Kind of scary. Enjoy the Farmer's Market and have a great weekend!

    1. I hope everything is okay! I know when my FIL was on dialysis, he had to limit potassium and they gave him a poster to hang on the fridge saying DON'T eat these! I was surprised how much stuff had so much of it!
