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.

A Little Late Weekend Recap



(source)



I hope you had a great weekend and good start off to the week.  Our weekend was low key.  We checked a gift card we had that we swore we used but it had a full balance on it so that decided lunch.  We had hot chicken and I got the hottest version because their spice level has dropped off considerably over the years from when it got started.  Well, they brought the heat this time and I spent the rest of the weekend paying for it's revenge.  😂  I had to laugh a little because we watched Tyler Henry's new Netflix special Life After Death and after a reading, he'll paint or meditate to release the energy and one of them he was like "this looks like a fiery butthole" (paraphrasing) and after that first post chicken bathroom visit I was like "I feel like a Tyler Henry painting."  What can I say, I overshare, you know that.  I know some people may roll their eyes at Tyler Henry but if you're into that kind of thing, I can't recommend his first book enough.  We listened to it on the road and my goodness, his story is so intriguing and heartbreaking.  I was excited to see he has another book coming out at the end of the month which we'll definitely get.  His show is really good not just because of the readings but they found out 3 years ago that his mom was actually stolen as a baby and they are following her journey to find out what happened to her.  So even if you aren't interested in the readings, following her story is a show on its own.  We also watched The Adam Project on Netflix and it was really good.  It was impressively big budget until you got to Katherine Keener's younger self deep fake and it was cringey bad but other than that, recommended!  We started watching Upload which has been two years since season one wrapped up so we feel a bit lost even with a recap.  The first few episodes were a bit snoozy but it's seeming to pick up just a little bit.

Today is the Mr's liquid diet day.  He's got his colonoscopy tomorrow morning and I'm hoping that him seeing me going through it in November has at least prepared him a little.  He'll start his prep at 6pm then because he scheduled early, he'll have to get up in the middle of the night to finish the second half of the prep.  I got him some popsicles and Jello (obviously not red-  Mr if you're reading this- NO CHERRY popsicles from that box!)  He's been focused on the fact he gets no food for over 24 hours but I think he's going to find out once that prep kicks in that goes out the window.

He's got chicken broth and herbal tea too so he'll be fine on that front and he's got a good meal awaiting him for dinner as a reward.  Also as a reward, we'll be going to his hometown this weekend to get and freeze some of his favorite treats and just to have a change of scenery.  So if you all could throw out some prayers/good vibes/whatever you believe in that he has a good result, we would appreciate it.

How was your weekend?

  1. This time change was a tough one for me for some reason but at least I was able to get in a good sleep last night. Thanks for the good vibes. Colonoscopy is like a rite of passage for middle age and not one to be excited about - but I am looking forward to whatever special meal you have planned - so thanks for the goal I can keep in my head to get thru all of this!
