I should be feeling that one

Today I was back at the weight room here at the office so I could do my normal workout this morning. I knew that I would be putting some extra intensity on it since I had planned on bringing up the weight on a few of the exercises. Let me tell you, bringing up the intensity level today is totally what happened. My shoulders and triceps are what I added the weight to and both of them are weak right now. I have no doubt in my mind I will be sore tomorrow, at least in those two areas. I still have not quite gotten to all 12 reps on my high points in my chest and biceps but I am getting closer and each time I do my upper body exercise I am getting an extra rep or two in on those exercises so it should only be a matter of time. I just need to wait for my strength to catch up with my desire. That so far has been the hardest thing to wait for, I have never been all that strong to begin with and although this training program is working and I know I am getting stronger because I can see it and feel it I am still a long ways away from the build I am looking to get to. I am thinking that in order for me to get there, as long as I keep pressing as hard as I have been these last 5.5 weeks I should be there around July. That is the goal I am setting for myself at least. I guess I will have to see how many steps back I take come the holidays. I have been telling myself that I won't be all that bad this year but you never know. I guess it will come down to what I want more, the fitness or the yum yums. I still have to figure out what I am going to do for my scheduled workout on Black Friday. That week I am going to be using my free day for Thanksgiving (goes without saying) but then the office and the rec center are both closed that next day. I am thinking I will either have to find a gym in the area that will let you try it for a day or so or just double up on the cardio and whatever weight training workout I will miss on that Friday. I don't think that is what I want to do since I will have to spend close to an hour and a half at the gym that day and I don't want to miss that much time with the family. I guess I will just have to cross that bridge when I come to it. Tomorrow it is back on the treadmill, I have been starting those days at 5 MPH and moving up to 7.5 MPH at the high point but I think tomorrow is the day to move up the latter so as long as I can get on a treadmill at the office I will start at 5.5 MPH and finish off at 8. I am not going to kid myself I am sure it will suck but hey if you want results you have to push. Keep a look out tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes.
