Hee hee! I find it so hard to stick with something. Keeping this log is totally helping me, I feel accountable to you guys to sit on my ass.

It does! It totally impacted my life. Like I wouldn't want to go out to dinner because the second I finished eating I would want to get under a pile of blankets. And summer was hard because I'd be hot until I ate, and then I wanted to put on a parka. In 90 degree weather.

One quick question - what is the ~1475 calorie level like for you, relative to when you were training? Is that low, high, normal...?
I just calc'ed my numbers and found that my first two rest weeks will be at 1075. Oh, my, eek.

Hi Andrea!
How was Boston?? I hope you had a great marathon! It should be great to rest after that.
For me, 1475 is definitely low. I was at about 1800-1900 with a ridiculous amount of training.
1075 is really rough.
Are you a level three or a level four? You know, in the first section, she says that an alternative is to just walk away and eat a lot of food (the catch being that you'd gain a bunch of water and fat). So what I've been doing is, when I have to, just making the choice to eat a little more sometimes, knowing that as a result I might gain a little weight (which I haven't, though I've been pretty close to compliant). She says the more compliant you are the better your results will be, obviously, but sometimes I just need more food.
I'm so excited that you're doing this too!
