  • I used to count calories all the time. Now I'm in the groove and no need to count. It comes naturally. cron-o-meter is a great app #fitblog #
  • Q1 I did manage to lose 70 in 6 months with calorie counting. Now I'm maintaining intuitively with no counting. I'm an expert now #fitblog #
  • @EatWithoutGuilt I think listening toy our body only works if you know how to listen. I got fat because I sucked at it. #fitblog in reply to EatWithoutGuilt #
  • @EatWithoutGuilt Exactly! And that is why I think calorie counting works for the early stages. Once you get a feel for it drop it #fitblog in reply to EatWithoutGuilt #
  • I couldn't live counting calories for the rest of my life. But 6 months of doing it was worth a lifetime of being educated eater. #fitblog #
  • @debroby LOL! Oh so true! #fitblog in reply to debroby #
  • Q1 f/u absolutely! I'm in taper of my marathon, I certainly can't eat what I was eating while running 50+ miles. #fitblog #
  • Q1 f/u. I cut my breakfast in half (-200 calories) and I cut my snacks in half (-200 calories) That's 2,800 per week, 28 miles. #fitblog #
  • If I didn't I'd be gaining weight at an alarming rate! Taper Madness is a double whammy! #fitblog #

  • @leavingfatville All the time! Sometimes it's very hard to resist! #fitblog in reply to leavingfatville #
  • Q2: Absolutely. My facebook wall is nothing but running logs… People miss photos of my kids. #fitblog #
  • Ditto RT @KatieHeddleston: I do do that dailymile thing on facebook so my fb friends see updates whether they want to or not :) #fitblog #
  • Q@: I think even some of my running friends are bored with it, let alone non-runners. But I don't care, that's the kind of guy I am #fitblog #
  • @KatieHeddleston Public Accountability is the main reason why I blog. #fitblog in reply to KatieHeddleston #
  • Q2: Sometimes I feel like a recovering alcoholic that can't talk about anything else but just how good it is to be sober. #fitblog #
  • Q3: I've been very fortunate in not having any issues. Being very structured and meticulous, sticking with it helped a ton! #fitblog #
  • Q3, I think the toughest part is getting over the fact that "there is no instant gratification". #fitblog #
  • Q4: Being in TX the best part of the running weather is just rolling in! Can't wait to eclipse my summer running paces! #fitblog #
  • Q4: This will be the first year when I'll think of 40F as being fantastic weather! #fitblog #
  • Q4: I'm also looking forward finally sleeping in on weekdays and knocking out the runs on my lunch hour. #fitblog #
  • Calling it "festive eating" sounds better RT @workoutnirvana: Q4: About food, will just have to ward off the holiday temptations. #fitblog in reply to WorkoutNirvana #
  • Q5: Well, it's in 2 weeks but I plan on running a BQ time of 3:10 or less at Tyler Rose Marathon. #fitblog #
  • Q5: For the next week I just want to maintain my weight and stay injury free so I can really rock the marathon. #fitblog #
  • RT @debroby: I will never "intuitively" think: I'd like 5-7 vegetables today. #
  • Fun chat tonight. Found some great new tweeps to follow! #fitblog #
