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 are y'all getting into this weekend?  (I hope it's more fun than deep cleaning!)

  3. Holy smokes, Robert Irwin is the spitting image of his dad! Wow. And Oreo peanut butter ice cream sandwiches? The hubs will be AAAALLLLL over that!

    Was supposed to cut the lawn today but of course it rained -- and it supposed to rain all weekend so it'll need to be cut twice next week....grrr.

    Need to get to the suburbs and get a bunch of errands done here, including scheduling my car for thousands of dollars of repairs for computer crap issues. Gah! And if I have anything left in the tank, I, like you, need to do some serious cleaning around here. I feel like it looks like a store warehouse that went out of business and only the leavin's are left in the back room that no one knows what to do with. It's grand. LOL

  4. Overseas flights. Regardless of before or after 11am, we stay up when we land and go to bed at bedtime in the new/current location. And then we are fine. Also totally agree not to even look to see what time it is at home, we live in the time we are in.

    This applies to day light savings time changes in USA too. I change clocks in the afternoon/evening before I go to bed and then we just pay attention to that time, when we get up the next day, we do not compare to what time it was the day before. And no lingering effects.

    I really enjoy these collections from you each week. Nice diversity.
