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.

Not sure how to put pictures in here? But here is a link to a couple of pictures I took of the retro tree in my dining room. We don't have a lot of lights outside. http://weightywords.blogspot.com/2019/12/still-here.html
ReplyDeleteThat reindeer stable is such an original idea, I love it! And to have all those decorations at a neighbors house would make it hard to not have the Christmas spirit. I like the joy going up the steps on the other one too, what a great use of space there. Thanks to both of them for sharing! Glad we went out and looked around in our area last night. It was a much needed dose of the season for me!
ReplyDeleteThere is a beautifully decorated house that I drive by every day and I was going to send you a picture of it. But... turns out it's a student's house and I thought it'd be weird. "Why is my teacher taking pictures of my house?" so you'll just have to trust me that it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteEvery year we get movie theatre popcorn to go and then drive around town looking at the light. We haven't done our night yet this year, but I'm thinking maybe tomorrow night.
Such pretty decorations! I love the energy and personality people put into decorating the outside of their houses. I've yet to go down this one major road that has a few houses that I'm pretty sure use the same decorator because they all sit back from the road and have gigantic front yards with tons of trees and each and every tree has lights on it. It's like an entire block of pure magic. It's a major road though so I don't know how I'd get a picture but it makes me smile every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got out to see the lights. We'll go this weekend down to the park by the river than you drive through and see all the light displays local companies put up. It's the coolest thing and is packed with people just idling along. It's going to be near 50 so having the windows down for the dogs won't be a hardship this year. lol
Beautiful pictures! We barely got inside decorated this, so I couldn't participate. But everyone did a great job. So festive!
