*My plan was to start with flat bench to try and get a full 3 dets of 5 with the 125lb. All the benches were taken though, forcing us to start with incline. By the time a bench opened up, I was already tired and I knew I wouldn't be able to hit the 125lb. That's why I threw the block on there.

There was a time, in the not so distant past, that any disruption to my scheduled session would've sent me over the edge. I'm happy to say, that it didn't really affect me tonight. It started to. I was kind of irritated that I had basically worn myself out before my working sets and that I wasn't going to be able to hit my target. I took a minute and realized that progress was still happening, I was just going about it differently. Next week, I'll try again for those elusive 3 sets of 5 at 125lb. I have a good feeling that I just may make them.
There's still lots of new people in the gym. I get that it's frustrating to have more people milling about and using equipment that we need to use, but I realize that I was one of those newbies last April. I hope that they all stick with it, actually. I hope they grind through the hard times and I hope they succeed. Although, I wouldn't complain if they found a way to do it at a different time of day.
That's about all for tonight. Tomorrow is not only my rest day, but our anniversary! A happy ten years to us! Who knows, I may even go wild and allow myself a cupcake.
