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.

Last Day and What I'm Reading This Week #11

♪♪  Oh happy day!  (Oh happy day!)  It's the Mr's last day!  (Oh happy day!)  ♪♪

Sorry, that's going to be sung on rotation all day today around these parts.    It always amazes me the true colors people show when someone moves on from a position in which everyone took advantage of them.  One day you're "brother" the next day, "you're dead to me" and they don't talk to you.  I am SO glad he's out of that environment and I can't wait for this new chapter in his career.  He told me two weeks ago that I made the news.  He said a welcome email went out to his new team and his new boss said: "I hear his wife makes good desserts!"  If that's not a hint and a half, I don't know what is!  You know what I'll be doin'  😉

Let's get to...

This weekend we'll be getting the house ready for invaders next week.  The kitchen will never have been so clean, I'm sure!  Lots to get done but hoping to find an hour or two to relax in there too.  Will have to figure out just how much exposure we want to the public but that's really no different than any other weekend.

Stay safe y'all!

What are you doing this weekend?

  1. If only my job could have been the way the last 2 weeks has been - 1 week of class and 1 week where I was considered a short-timer and not asked to do anything at all. I could have gotten used to that. Have a great weekend everybody. I know I will! Stay safe!

  2. Congrats to the Mr on the end of a dark season and the beginning of something FAR better!

    No big plans for the weekend. Hubs works tomorrow so I'll go to a meeting then grocery shopping. I've decided to fire up the old deep freezer that's been sitting in the basement for 20 years with loads of crap on top of it. I'll be cleaning that off and the inside and seeing if it still works. Other than that, the usual laundry and house stuff and plenty of pooch time. Have a great weekend and enjoy some down time if you can!
