It's been 2 weeks since I lifted a barbell! Natura It's been 2 weeks since I lifted a barbell! Naturally I got humbled by a 215 dead and scaled back to 205. Neck pain still reminds me to keep my presses modest. ➡️Blisters were hurting but these @wodndone wraps kept the mess contained and out of sight. Still debating if they are worth the trouble. Took me 20m to get them on and fiddled with them throughout. #barbell #february #strengthtraining #resistancetraining #weighttraining #lifttoeat #liftweights #liftingforgains #liftlikeanoob #liftlikeagirl #barbelltraining #aznlifter #fitness #foodiefit #foodiefat #fitnessmotivation #gettingstrong #stillanovice #workouts #workinprogress #fitnessjourney #womenwholift #defygravity #wheresmygainz #over50lifter #liftingover50
Did they pop yet? Another view of the seed flats/ Did they pop yet? Another view of the seed flats/bench that I started earlier in the week. I planted echinacea, agastache, monarda, gomphrena, marigolds, cerastium, veronica and zinnias. I wish it was just a tad warmer outside so I can put out the overwintered plants and start more seed. #seeds #seedstarting #seedlings #soilblocks #annuals #perennials #flowers #gardenpics #gardening #growsomething #instagarden #indoorgardening #gardenpic #gardens #wintergardens #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #flowerpics #gardenporn #growingflowers #flowerporn #texasgardens #zone8

We got sunshine! The 'maters and the leafy greens We got sunshine! The 'maters and the leafy greens are getting their first taste of sunlight as I start on hardening them off (and rid them of the pesky gnats). Outdoor temps: high 60s and low 40s all week. I started at least 6 1010s and 1 1020 flats of annual and perennial flowers indoors. #seeds #seedstarting #seedlings #soilblocks #veggiegarden #vegetablegarden #leafygreens #strawberry #lettuce #bokchoy #spinach #peppers #annuals #perennials #flowers #gardenpics #gardening #growsomething #instagarden #indoorgardening #gardenpic #gardens #wintergardens #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #gardenporn #growingveggies #texasgardens #zone8

From the coldest winter snap back to shorts-and-sa From the coldest winter snap back to shorts-and-sandals weather in a couple of days. With the snow melt, I get to see what veggies survived. Winners: brussel sprouts, romaine lettuce and garlic. Goners: Kale, cauliflower, broccoli, dill, spinach, red lettuce and radish (tops). Just for note, I put out those romaine starts last month I think and to see them still perky and green caught me by surprise. #2021snowpocalypse #veggiegarden #vegetablegarden #ornamentalplants #floweringshrubs #gardenpics #flowerporn #flowerpics #gardening #yardwork #growsomething #instaflowers #gardenpic #gardens #wintergardens #whatsblooming #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #gardenporn #growingveggies #texasgardens #zone8
Stock tank beds and veggie garden in the aftermath Stock tank beds and veggie garden in the aftermath of #snowpocalypse2021. No, I didn't cover the stock tank beds because it's likely in 2-4 weeks I'll be replanting with new starts. The plants in the tent really suffered from the extreme cold. Even though interior temps were 8-10 degrees warmer, the power outages ensured that temps dipped below freezing. My tropical hibiscus and hydrangea have dropped most of their leaves, not sure they will recover. #veggiegarden #vegetablegarden #ornamentalplants #floweringshrubs #gardenpics #flowerporn #flowerpics #gardening #yardwork #growsomething #instaflowers #gardenpic #gardens #wintergardens #whatsblooming #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #gardenporn #growingveggies #texasgardens #zone8

Pre-#snowpocalypse2021 eats. We got the BGEXL fire Pre-#snowpocalypse2021 eats. We got the BGEXL fired up for grilled veggies and meats to stock up before the winter storm hit. Reheating food in the microwave while the power is on has been quite a dance. Little did we know that we should've winterized our pipes, coz having no water sucks! Side note: first time tryin @traderjoes shawarma but didn't expect whole sirloin to grill. #dinner #chicken #shawarma #leeks #chilestoreados #brusselsprouts #grilledchickenbreast #inihaw #bbq #roasted #foodpic #grilled #foodstagram #igfood #foodporn #goodeats #food #homecooked #carnivoreeats #meatsweats #eatyourveggies #madeinmykitchen #postworkout

Historic winter storm has me dreading like it's th Historic winter storm has me dreading like it's the last hours of Frostpunk. Honestly can't remember ever seeing -1 degrees F in the forecast in all the years I lived in N Texas. I've taken out what delicate plants I could from my outdoor greenhouse tent to bring indoors. Even though temps are generally 10 degrees warmer in the tent, that likely brings things below freezing by Sunday. At least we got to see the ice sculptures our frostweed produced. Not impressive as some I've seen on IG but still cool to look at. #winterstorm #winterizing #overwinter #freezewarning #texaswinter #texasweather #texaswinteriscrazy #frostweed #verbesinavirginica #gardenpics #flowerporn #flowerpics #gardening #yardwork #blooms #growsomething #instaflowers #gardenpic #gardens #wintergardens #whatsblooming #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #gardenporn #growingveggies #texasgardens #zone8
