It was a pleasant morning. At least I didn't wake up at 2:30 AM like I did yesterday. And yesterday morning I woke up hungry. I resisted the temptation to eat anything until after my morning work out. I do think I found out the reason for the hunger. My calorie deficit for yesterday was over 1000 calories. That was even though I at over my target by about 100 calories. I'm currently tracking my calories in vs. calories burned. The burn I'm taking from my fitness watch, the intake is coming from the calorie count on this site. I'm planning to do an experiment of n=1 (me) to see the deficit vs weight loss. After I get a couple weeks of baseline I'll try moving my calories around to see the effect.
On my current diet I eat every 2-3 hours. Each meal include carbs and protein. The goal of eating so frequently is to blunt hunger. So far it has worked as I have not really been hungry. My last meal has been a protein shake with whole milk before bed. Normally that holds me until morning.
I did get my run in this morning. I made the entire 4.5 miles without any issues. The run felt goods but my legs were sore after I got home. It should be interesting tomorrow is that is my leg day at the gym. It will probably be rough but you don't grow by staying in your comfort zone.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

A good night's sleep makes a world of difference -- 4.5 miles is AWESOME!! (particularly since it was accomplished with no hamstring or other issues) I'm sure you'll push through tomorrow's workout without much trouble.

You are so right! We don't grow by staying in your comfort zone! You push ahead, and I do the same it seems. I am again so happy to hear your hamstring seems recovered so you can run - your passion!

You are doing so great! Running that far would undoubtedly kill me!

My main objective has been not to feel hungry at bed-time, so I have meat-based meal in the evening, and usually a small snack around 10pm. However I find I rarely feel hungry at all, and if I do then it's just before the next meal is due, which I think is not bad thing. I occasionally feel I need a little something mid-afternoon too. However I think you are doing a lot more exercise than I am. Anyway, it's whatever works best for you!
