My wife is currently training for a big race and is using a huge wall calendar for her training plan--the line of X's is growing every day. She calls it the Seinfeld Calendar, though I've never seen the episode. Also, just wanted to comment on the nutrition plan and feeling hungry: Up until the last two weeks when I've been working with my trainer on weight lifting AND nutrition, every single time I have tried to cut calories by more than 500 per day I was starving and feeling those cravings you've described. But now, even on days when I'm exercising a lot (2 hours yesterday) I'm not hungry at all. I really think it is because I have increased my protein to 30% of my diet and decreased my carbs to 40% of my diet. I think it's the magic ratio of satiety for myself. Maybe it would work for you too? Scott: Great post here! My wife is currently training for a big race and is using a huge wall calendar for her training plan–the line of X’s is growing every day.
