Feeling great after my workout today

Today was another upper body day and if you have been reading this you know that the upper body workouts are the ones I like the most. Today I went in the with the mind set of finishing the sets were my muscles would fail before I got to the 12th rep on my high points and to work extra hard due to the impending holiday. That is exactly what I did and it paid off. I was able to get to the 12th rep on most of the exercises and will even be adding weight to some of them next week. I love days that start like this because it puts me in a great mood for the rest of the day and it helps get me out of the mood I was in when I left work yesterday. I expect to have good soreness in my biceps and chest tomorrow and perhaps even a little on the triceps. I am already looking forward to Monday when I get to do the upper body again and try the exercises with the additional weight I will be adding. I finally feel like I am pushing through this little bit of a slow moving increase I have felt like I have been on for the last few workout. Not that I plan on it but if I do get to a store this weekend I am going to make myself get the tape measure so I can find my body fat % as well as start tracking the calories I am taking in each day to make sure I am eating the proper amount to promote muscle growth. After a workout like today I feel like I am on the verge of having a real break through and getting the results I have been trying to get. By the end of this week I will be on Week 9 of Body-for-Life with only four weeks to go. I can't wait to say that I have finished the program and to see the results that I got from it at the end. Tomorrow I will be running before the eating starts to break up my free day into two like I talked about a few posts ago. I am going to be taking the eating part of the free day off tomorrow and the no exercise part of the free day on Friday since none of the places I work out at are going to be open. The last challenge this weekend will be finding time to get my lower body workout on in Saturday between family pictures and church.
