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.

Weekend of Extremes

I don't even begin to comprehend how it's Monday again.  This weekend swirled down the toilet at warp speed.  Friday I got to my little unintended painting project on the wall behind the couch.  I got a beautiful landscape for Fall not even thinking the picture was a different size from the one that was hanging.

I spackled and painted and I'm not moving the furniture back until some vintage sconces I ordered come in...I'm hoping this week.  All of the fingers and toes crossed.

Speaking of toes, I got some new sockies for my toes from my bestie along with some backordered candles she got me for my birthday.



Le sigh...hedgehogs are my spirit animals...cute yet prickly.

Saturday FLEW BY.  I couldn't even tell you what the hell we did other than gripe about how we have NO good restaurants anywhere near us.  Even our usual spot crapped the bed on our lunch so it was not great.  We went to Hobby Lobby in the evening just so we could do something.


I promise, you'll regret it.

I had some TJ's pumpkin cinnamon rolls on hand and since yesterday was National Cinnamon Roll day and we never celebrate those things, I popped 'em open.


Where Saturday was lazy and sucked down the drain, Sunday was a little more productive.  I have some side projects I'm working on and of course there are issues there but the Mr did a bunch of cutting for me so I had stuff at the ready.  I finally got some crap put away that has been looming.  I'm getting some canisters this week and I needed to get the cupboard they're going in arranged for good.  I'm sure the Mr will be happy to have the laundry basket back after like six months.

We did a butt kicking workout of Power 90 with the Ab Ripper (modified because ouch.)  Then dinner was turkey chili.


Then it was settling in for a night of My Two Dads on Plex and head bobbing.

How was your weekend?

    Way too fast - I vote we all get another day. My folks visited so that was nice, but the visit sped by. The hedgehog socks are super cute.

    I hope your sconces come in so you can put the ensemble together and enjoy your hard work! Weekend was good. Typical stuff between chores and work. This week is going to be in the 60s and 70s so it looks to be beautiful. We bought 4 little pumpkins to sit in front of the glider bench out front and with the little mum planters it looks pretty cute. Just nee to get the flowers more open and it'll really look like fall. Have a super duper week!

    It was fun! I made myself a sink cover for more space in my kitchen and I love it! Got my window frames primed and ready to paint.
    Have a great week!
