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.

    Happy New Year you two! I have enjoyed starting my days with you. We started a new tradition of going to my friend's house in the city for New Years. We make filets on the grill, drink a little wine and play games. Usually in bed way before midnight!

    Happy New Year! I've never been a big celebrator for this holiday, so I'm not sure what I would do. Maybe, if money were no object and things were different in my life, I'd be up in the Northwoods in a cabin somewhere with access to a snowmobile since that's the only way to get around. One year I actually started getting my taxes prepared. Yep, I'm a total dork. 'Sup Nerd.... snort!!!!
