This post does involve the debatable topic of eating back and not eating back our exercise calories. I am aware that this topic is highly debatable and I am…

No sleep for the exerciser...
Since starting a new strict regime, my body doesn't want to sleep. I wake up hours before I really want to, regardless of when I go to bed at night.
