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 #45

Welcome to the first Friday of November!  Wow.   I hope November has been treating you well so far.  If any of you click through on Facebook, I'd be ready to stop seeing that.  I do have scheduled posts over December but they have totally changed things and tried to force it so I have to pay to use it in some form.  No way in hell.  I lose sooo much money just posting and doing maintenance on this space, it's not funny.  (It's the only reason I do Amazon affiliate links and those don't come close to covering even a quarter of my costs.)  It could be growing pains right now and sometimes I can get into it.  So they'll either get their crap together or I could be done over there.  Honestly, the engagement and reach are piss poor so I don't feel like it helps me much to begin with.  So bookmark here or sign up for email notifications because I don't know my FB future.  (This is assuming people are still here and reading.)

Here's what we've been putting in the face holes this week. 

Monday was a quick old standard- Passion Fruit glazed Orange Roughy, sweet potato gnocchi and peas.


Sadly it was our last gnocchi so I know what that means...we're due for a Trader Joe run.  Sigh.  Workout was Shift Shop 35 strength.

It was Turkey Taco Tuesday with sufferin' succotash.


Workout was old school Tae Bo Volume 2.

Wednesday was cooking together so we made Cheddar Jalapeno Salmon Burgers over the mediocre TJ's butternut squash cauliflower risotto.


Workout was Fitness Blender's Upper Body Guaranteed Burnout.

Thursday we had to go back to General Tso's chicken because I have stuff I need to get out of the freezer to make room.


Workout was a 3 mile stroll around the hood.

Now let's stroll into...









How To Stretch & Release Tight ADDUCTORS | Groin Muscle Release  (I've been having a lot of trouble with my muscle imbalance and this helps for sure.  If you want to be drunk in 6 minutes, take a shot every time he says "k?")



What Is Noise Pollution? Here's Exactly How It Affects Your Health, and What to Do About It  (Like my Grandma, I am incredibly affected by noise.  Shared living does zero to help my nerves.  Oh and the construction project that will be outside of our home for the next two years.  I'll be buried in some noise cancelling headphones until 2023.)





The new Dexter finale should do these 5 things (Not sure I agree with them all but love the idea of ghost Deb!) 


I wish I could have some massively exciting thing to share that we're doing this weekend but you know, we don't...so.  Maybe an afternoon drive is in order, we need to get those in and possibly the Mr putting up the Christmas lights since it's going to be warm.

How about you?  Anything good going on in your near future?

  2. Nothing going on but the usual right now. I've worked every day since October 17th and that's going to continue for at least another week possibly. Never did get to that laundry yesterday, so I'll be doing that today when I get off of work and then attempting to find my kitchen table under the mass of crap piled up that I haven't gotten to. It's a good thing I made the effort to pay all the Nov bills at the end of October because I'd have late notices by now piled up and wouldn't even know it since I haven't opened my mail in two weeks. It's going to be 77 degrees today so the hubs will be taking the pups out to go play in the sun. =o)
    I hope you have a greate weekend and can get out and about somewhere and see some good fall colors before they disappear for the season. xoxo
