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.

  1. I always thought the phrase was "Don't take it personally" but somehow it has become "Don't take it personal". Then another one is it seemed like people suddenly started pronouncing the word Guru differently. My entire life it was GooRoo and suddenly people started calling it geroo. I honestly wondered if I was somehow in a parallel universe - and I still think that sometimes LOL.

  2. Import-ent in lieu of important
    Pronouncing the G at the end of words
    No problem in response to thank you

  3. When people over pronounce the G on the end it always feels like they are super emphasizing it - mad or sarcastic. "What's wrong" "EverythinG".

    My biggest one is that that kids writing formal papers for my classes seem to think that text speak is ok. I know their elementary teachers taught them better, and their English teach is fighting the same battle. It makes me crazy when they use U or 2 or 2morrow, fail to capitalize proper nouns, etc. in written assignments. The other thing that bugs me is when kids writing about historical figures call them by their first name. They just can't seem to grasp that they are not personally acquainted with George Washington, they don't get to call him George. Or george.

  4. Two big ones are "irregardless" (not a word, it's a double negative) and when people say "eCKspecially" instead of especially. There is no k or x in the word, but it's pronounced with one. And as far as a trendy word that drives me nuts because I hear it all the blasted time is narrative. It doesn't matter if it's in print, on sports radio, or some other talk show, the word narrative is used way too much.

  5. I have to say having been born and raised in England we always said learnt. So when I came to the U.S. it sounded strange to me when people said learned. I just googled it and learnt that both are ok to use but usually English will say learnt and Americans say learned.

    My peeve is when people say acrossed. Or son in laws instead of sons in law.
