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 #22

Happy Friday all!  How is it June 1st, the 2018??

Why do "short" weeks always feel just as long as a regular week?  (Sometimes longer but this one feels equally as long.)  I think it's because of the God-awful heat.  Every morning we've walked has been us getting smacked with a wall of humidity and zero breezes.  As if sticking to my new goal wasn't hard enough, let's throw me being a sweaty beast on top of it.

Enough about my sweat glands, let's get to...

Well, I thought I was going to be jamming to The 1975's new album this weekend but apparently, they were only counting down to a single release and frankly, I'm not over the moon for it.  For 25 years, I've been telling the Mr to get the distortion off of his guitar playing because it masks ability and they go and release a song that is all distortion.  My ears involuntarily shut when it's on like when you're awaiting the pop of a balloon.  I'm a sad lady because no actual album until October.  Now I need to find other weekend plans...like cleaning our basement for the AC guys next week. 

*pulls blanket over head*

  1. It's so true that when you start with a holiday on Monday the week still seems to feel longer. But now it's June! Happy Friday and happy June everybody!

  2. I can't wait to read these articles when I get home -- several popped out as must read for me. Today I'll be cutting the lawn when I get home from work. Tomorrow I have a meeting and laundry. Sunday I'm going to a garden show and hope to find the right size pots for my little bridge planter for out front. It's very hard to find 3 1/2 inch pots apparently. And with it being cooler, the doggies will get their walks in again so they'll be happy, tired pups.

    Have a super weekend!
