Before I cobbled together my "official" practice weights >snicker, chuckle< I used a kettlebell close to 42 lbs. for WOB practice. Gopher it.

I have the same kind of appetite--I can usually tell if I'm getting the right amount/kinds of food by what my little body tells me. I try to eat about 6 times a day unless I'm not feeling hungry every couple hours. If I'm really busting my tail, I'm hungry ALL the time and try to keep the engine fueled. I've kept a very consistent weight and body comp. for several years just by doing that--although right now I'm forcing more food just to push my weight up a bit. Feels weird. You following your appetite sounds like a good thing to me!
