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 #35

Happy Friday to you all!  I hope you've had a nice week and are ready to rest and relaxate and such.  

Last night was our final meal to cook together for the week and it was dang good.

(Scallion chicken with lemon rice and a side salad with homemade vinaigrette.)


We're celebrating my birthday this weekend since it falls in the middle of the week so that'll be nice.  I'm super glad it's the last weekend of August because I'm praying a little let up in temps will be on the horizon at some point next month.

Now let's celebrate...

  2. Have a fantastic birthday celebration!!!!!

    I have the usual on tap, and am just looking forward to the cold front that's supposed to come through today which will have temps at 78 - 80 degrees this weekend. That's all I can hang my hat on right now. LOL
