My hands are torn up! Even with my hand bands, the volume of heavy snatches is taking it's toll! I think I am going to switch my Max vo2 workout to using the 16kg and then doing an endurance workout w/12kg, instead of the other way around. Also, Im thinking of using the 16kg for my press day, combining press/holds into the workout.

Nothing tears up your mouth more that eating over 1/2 dozen rice krispy treats in an hour! I hate to admit these crazy binges, but it is what it is. And what that is, I don't know yet, so in the mean time, I ate all of my crap between 9:30am and 10:30 am, with the exception af 1 brownie after my workout at 3:30pm. I had eaten so much crap that I didn't feel like eating any good food, and I almost didn't, but it really does make you feel better....it helps break the junk food cycle, so I'm glad I did.

I didn't feel hungry today and I was able to keep my calories low. My portions were smaller this week 80% of the time, I feel that was a success...it actually felt better (mentally).

Life is better than ever.
