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 #38

'Sup y'all?  It's the last weekend of summer!!  I will nod my head in mourning for those of you who are sad but don't look too close because I will have a big smile on my face.

I am more than ready for Fall, as you know, and hope the temps get to and stay in the 70's sooner than later.  I'm ready for horror movie marathons with Freddy, Jason and Ghostface, curling up with my favorite tea and fuzzy socks and flipping the remote on the candles for some hygge time when the killers are done with their business.

Let's get to what we were shoveling in the pie hole this week.

Monday was what I made for the Mr the first time I ever cooked for him...green pepper steak.



Tuesday was glazed salmon with sweet potato gnocchi and broccoli.  ("She's choppin' brocc-uh-lay.  She chop...huh!")




Workout was MBFA Total Body EMOM (strength).

Wednesday was Turkey Tacos.


Workout was walk around the park which we had almost all to ourselves after rain came through!

Thursday was General Tso's Shrimp.


Workout was walk around Grandma's cemetery.

Now let's walk into...

I've got a few Christmas presents that arrived so I'll contemplate wrapping this weekend.   The Mr and I need to do something...not sure what.  Whether it's our first movie of the Fall season to an in home spa night or a board game that won't leave me wanting to frisbee it in frustration.

Anything on your end this weekend?
