This is good. In addition, and as mentioned in a previous post of mine, be sure to rest as well. This means two things:

1) Don't overtrain.
2) Don't sell yourself short by getting only 5 hours of sleep each night.

Without proper recovery, you will miss out on a key element of the equation. Being stressed and overtired can contribute to fat accumulation, not to mention sickness.
