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 #49

Hey y'all!  It's finally Friiiiday!  (Yeah, just isn't exciting as it was pre-pandemic!  LOL)  We've been cramming in whatever external Christmas cheer we can with drive by light excursions and such.  The kitchen has looked like a cookie bomb went off in it so nowhere to take dinner pics this week.  Monday night we got subs because the kitchen was taken and the table had about one foot of space available.  Not a habit I want to get into but was grateful the Mr went to pick stuff up while I finished up.  

I was able to get my two boxes of Christmas gifts to my friends out then I decided instead of trying to cram in a social distanced visit with the MIL and my other friend who was expecting no cookies this year that I was just going to give myself a break and send them out overnight.  $22 per package for large (but didn't look large) flat rate box but honestly, it took some weight off of my shoulders so this year, I'll take it.

Now let's weigh in on...


This '12 Days Of Christmas Workout' Will Keep You Fit Throughout The Holidays  (Those deadlifts seem a little fast to me but maybe they're supposed to be lighter weights than the heavier ones I use for that.)




Small batch Christmas recipes  (I love this blog and having the ability to not have a bunch of leftovers.)

How to Steep the Perfect Cup of Tea Every Time  (Gotta perfect the steep, yo!)

Con Watch: Eight Essential Tips for Cybersecurity  (Because cyberdouches never take time off.)

It’s Easier Than Ever To Make A New Face On Social Media. But Is It Killing Your Confidence?  (This crap freaks me out.  Before filters were even a 'thing' I had people I knew guilty of Photoshopping out so much crap on themselves that the next time you'd see them, it'd be like they aged 10 years and gained a ton of weight because they trimmed off so much visual pudge.  Your wrinkles are still there.  Your chins are still there.  Your batwings are still there.  They are a part of you.  STOP lying to people with filters that make you look like a creepy, tall infant.  Obviously, I have no opinion on this.  LOL)


A Case Against Gift Giving  (I half expected it to be written by Charles Brown but this could be the year to take a break just like with everything else.)

The Best Christmas Skits In SNL History  (Definitely a few of our all time favorites on here!)

We're going to be chilling for a while so no plans for the weekend.  We've committed to enjoying this holiday season to the fullest with some movie marathons and trying to find some virtual holiday concerts and that starts tomorrow.

How are you spending this weekend?

  1. I want to sleep in and then I want to clean and declutter stuff. Then we can enjoy some Christmas movies. Have a great weekend everybody!

  2. It's been an insanely busy and equally insanely irritating day. Accomplished "some" of what I wanted and spent the rest of the time peeling myself off the walls. Usual stuff this weekend and work again tomorrow night...Saturdays come way too fast now. Oh yeah, because there's no days off essentially. ARGH!
