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.

I used to love shooting them off as a kid and stuff but there is just too much trouble you can get in doing that yourself nowadays. I now cringe when I hear other people setting off ones that are over people's homes. I guess I am with the sanctioned fireworks crowd now. Happy 4th everyone!
ReplyDeleteI don't enjoy parades or crowds, so I'm content to sit on my back deck and see them from the town next door, but with the bugs out there, I usually am inside watching our local fireworks show, which happens to be the largest in IL. When the hubs and I were younger we used to do big fireworks displays and that was a lot of fun. But nowadays one of our dogs is very nervous about any loud noises (garbage trucks used to send him into a tailspin) so we keep the house closed up and the tv turned up to block out what we can from outside.
ReplyDeleteI love professional firework shows, not crazy about crowds though so it depends on the situation as to whether we go or not However I hate that many of our neighbors in our development shoot off their own rockets. 1) I'm always certain their ineptitude will result in my house being on fire; 2) it scare the heck out of my dog; 3) it goes on until all hours and 4) the next day there is firework trash all over the yard and pool screen.
ReplyDeleteLove fireworks. Hate crowds. We live across from the village municipal complex so we don't have to leave our yard to see most of the local fireworks.
