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!
ReplyDeleteI dont do resolutions but there are things I measure regularly to check progress. Mostly weight related. 2019 is going to be a great year!
I read a great article and am going to try "micro resolutions" this year. One per month, non cumulative. Some may be removing a habit (quit drinking for a month) or adding a habit (5 minutes of meditation daily for a month). I think of it as a way to test drive habits and see what effect they have. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI don't do resolutions. I set intentions and try to track them. I also don't wait until the new year to set an intention. Right now my intention is to get back into the habit of getting at least 150 minutes of exercise in each week. Due to the weather (mostly ice) that will involve going to the gym at work. I had gotten out of the habit when my gym closed in order to move locations/renovations and then the craziness of Christmas hit.
ReplyDeleteI guess technically I do resolutions, even if I'm calling them "focus points." I'm still resolving to focus on them. LOL I've gotten better with my black and white thinking on this and don't beat myself up about things that weren't quite up to par in the previous year. If I made improvements, then that's a positive. If I didn't, then clearly my commitment wasn't there so that gives me pause to delve into why.
