The limiting factor on my OHS tends to be my wrists. Once the weight gets to be too high my wrists can't support the weight. Next time I OHS I am going to bring my hands in closer to see if that helps take some of the pressure off.

The other part of today was my wonderful hubby purchased me a pair of recovery SKINS while we were in Chico. They are super tight around my legs but fit comfortably around my waist. I am looking forward to possibly purchasing the regular ones later on. I may have found another obsession to go along with my Lululemon obsession!

Looking forward to starting Monday out strong with strict Paleo all week and a weigh in on Friday. This last Friday I weighed in at 133. Hopefully I will be at 130 by Friday, but we shall see!

Food

Another positive paleo day, however, I probably should have eaten more regularly through out the day

8-2 eggs, 2 bacon

1- Jake's burger salad

8- Tres Hombres - Chicken chipotle, guac, sour cream, some beans, veggies and a BITE of tortilla. I did not have ANY alcohol or ANY chips which is HUGE for me because I LOVE the chips at Tres! So even though I probably should have eaten less at dinner, I did really well!

Looking forward to tomorrow when I get to take my mother and 2 grandmothers out to dinner for their Christmas present at 5th Street Steakhouse in Chico.

Thursday

4 perfectly paleo days!!! Tomorrow will be my first weigh in day. Today was really hard to stay paleo, I was craving a sweet or bread or something NOT good for me! But I held it together at a staff meeting that had really good looking scones and walking through the bakery at Raley's to get to the meat. Why do you have to walk through the bakery to get to flesh???? It is NOT helpful!!

Today I got to privilege of back squating with my husband on my lunch break.

I have never done sets of 10 but that is what he likes to do so that is what I did.

33x20

55x10

65x10

77x10

87x10

I felt pretty tired by the time I got through the first 5 on the 87 but otherwise I felt pretty good
