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.

Our Valentines Day

Some years we celebrate Valentines Day and sometimes we don't.  This year we did.

When I came home from my PT appointment, this scavenger hunt game was waiting for me.


My man knows how to get to my heart and he thought the spiky hair looked like him.


My final prize was this shirt I screamed over in the Crazy Shirts catalog and he remembered!


My gifts were kind of lame in comparison.  I rented a movie he's been wanting to see but I acted like I didn't know what he was talking about, got his favorite candy bar for movie candy (Curly Wurly! and yes, it was pre-planned in the calories) and then I made dinner.


A side salad, bacon wrapped filet mignon and caramelized onion twice baked potato.  It was heavenly.

I also bought him a Body Blade that his physical therapist had him do and he said it really felt like it was going to kick his butt so why not speed things along at home.  I plan to sneak in a few sessions on it too especially to ready myself for paddling season!

Do you guys celebrate V-day?  If so, what did you do?

  1. Your gifts were not lame! I enjoyed them and had a great day with you. I know we don't always celebrate it but I am glad we did this year. It was fun!

  2. I love the Curly Wurly!! =o) I took myself to the pool and then the dogs for a long drive and overall had a very relaxing day. The hubs and I did not celebrate it this year, but did go to a hockey game on Sunday afternoon (first one in two years) and I said that would be our celebration. I made my favorite homemade soup for dinner and he made himself some steaks on the grill, so it worked out well.
