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 #13

Happy Friday everyone.  I hope your week has been a good one and you're ready to boogie on into the weekend!  I'm going to try to ignore what's on our agenda for the night.  


Let's reach into...





If You Do This, You’re Eating Your Yogurt All Wrong   (I used to do this until the Mr. set me straight)

I Had 1 Cheat Day Once a Week For 2 Months, and This Is How It Affected My Weight  (The key is not to let what happened the first month happen at all.)

Avocados Recalled In 6 States After Potential Listeria Contamination  (For all of you getting your toast or guac on.)

The Pyrex Glass Controversy That Just Won't Die  (courtesy of the Mr.  There is nothing worse than when one of those bastards shatters on you.  I swear I always wince a little when I use them.)

The Keto Diet, Explained  (Grains fo' life yo!)

Pelvic floor exercises will literally change your life and health  (Incontinence doesn't have to happen to you as you age!)

Why Excessive Consumption Limits Your Creativity  (This is so true.  I have become SO stagnant having access to so many distractions.)

The Secret to Sleeping Better and Longer Just Might Be Giving Yourself a Break at the Office  (True dat)

Deaths from dementia have doubled in US, report says   (This sh*t needs to be stopped NOW)

Her Time - Debra was diagnosed with dementia at 65. That’s when she decided she no longer wanted to live  (This article may be upsetting to those who are empaths and feel deep.)

The Tiny Breaks That Ease Your Body and Boost Your Brain  (I can absolutely vouch for this.)

Clever Dog Convinces Visitor To Play Fetch With Him Through The Door  (This is hilarious.)

We are going on a much deserved small road trip to the Mr's hometown which means some pizza we're both looking forward to.   We need to get outta here and this is well timed especially since its grocery night.  I'm still going back and forth as to whether I want to food prep Sundays.  I can steam veggies in the microwave quicker than I roast them.  I know the flavor isn't as developed but I'm not down with spending as much time as I did especially last Sunday doing that.  I might steam some like the cauliflower and broccoli and maybe just roast ones that taste better roasted like sweet potatoes and carrots.  We'll see.

What are y'all into this weekend?

  1. I really understand why so many people now do the grocery pickups instead. If I trusted them with produce I think we'd do it too. On the flipside of that, what a crappy job having to do nothing but grocery shop for other people all day every day. But at least they get paid for it I guess. Anyway, I am sooo looking forward to seeing the old hometown and getting some great pizza and all that. Our reward for the chores. Have a great weekend everyone!

  2. Great articles! My weekend is mostly at home doing house stuff. It's cold and dreary today so I don't mind being indoors today. I do see a nap in my afternoon future though. LOL
