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.

Thanksgiving for me must include turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. Anything else in addition to those 3 is great, but I have never had a single Thanksgiving go by without those 3 must haves and it would not be Thanksgiving without them for me.
ReplyDeleteMy kids need to have my stuffing so I take it if celebrating away from home.
ReplyDeleteNo one else likes green bean casserole. Mom and dad would be fine with sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes, but that's not ok.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's making the stuffing with sauteed onions and celery. I also make a box of either cranberry bread (cranberry/orange if I can find it but that's very hard to find nowadays), pumpkin, or banana bread. I used to make all three and split them up for my mom in slices so she could freeze them and take them out as she liked. Have done that since I was a teenager, and I just stuck to that tradition. =o)
ReplyDeleteTurkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. And it must be the turkey/stuffing recipe we've used for 4-5 generations.
ReplyDeleteIf the only thing served were a pan of cornbread dressing made using my grandmother's recipe, both my mom and I would be just fine!
ReplyDeleteMany years ago I asked everyone what they wanted for Tgiving dinner and I only cooked that. Cranberries and stuffing (for example) were not on anyone’s list. I stopped making them.
ReplyDeleteThis year my youngest (21) is in charge of polling.
And I told her to tell everyone, if it is not on the list, do not assume I am making it, including a turkey.
So far the list has eggplant Parmesan, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, pie.
Sweet potato casserole!
