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 #29

It's Friday!  Woo hooooo!!!!  (I refuse to call it "FriYAY."  If a phrase makes me want to flick the person in the forehead who invented it, I can't in good conscience use it myself.)

Let's slide right into...

  2. I agree w/ your take on "FriYAY." It its me the same as "My bad." Are we in preschool?

    I hope you enjoy your plan free weekend. I'm sure you'll keep yourself occupied.

    I have a long to do list I've been procrastinating on and now a group of friends wants to do the Marie Kondo thing and motivate each other to get our houses cleaned. I started with my closet in the fall and still haven't put together the pieces I bought to install in the closet to help organize. So I guess that is tops on my list. Most everyone else on it is yard work which is indefinitely postponed due to the monsoon which is settling in over the Ohio Valley.

  3. With the hubs having shingles it'll be an indoor weekend for me aside from a few standard errands. I plan to work in the office and toss as much stuff as possible before my tombstone reads: Death by Paperwork

    I hope you guys can get out and about a bit and don't end up with humidity and skeeters after the rain. It rained buckets today while I shopped for the work folks...I was a drenched dog. =o)

  4. We went to a Milwaukee Brewers game on Saturday, Sunday is a car show. Yes, we are going to places that currently have fewer people than are in Oshkosh this week for EAA. However, the proposed drone show looks like it might be a fun thing to view. Hope I get to see some of it.
