That's awesome, and definitely; last night wasn't as good, but I slept in a bit and got 7+ good hours (although my run was later than I'd have preferred and it was kind of hot as a result).

Maybe a bit? I've been batch cooking 2-4 times a week, so there's a routine - breakfast is two scoops protein + fruit, lunch is leftovers from the night before, and dinner is generally something reasonable along the lines of lean protein + carb + veggie. I don't sweat a few pieces of candy from the office stash or an extra ice cream bar at home, that's for sure, but I think when I can stay in my general routine that gets me pretty comfortably to the 80 in an 80:20 split of generally nutritious food to crap, which seems good enough to offset whatever snacking I end up doing.
All bets are off when I drink, though, which is why I'm limiting it (in addition to it wrecking my sleep and training readiness). I've seen some pretty good body comp changes since I've re-added 3x/wk lifting instead of 1-2x weekly, so assuming I can keep this up for the next six months, we'll see how I do.

It was relatively warm when I ran this morning, so kept it very easy; still nice incremental progress on most lifts. My left hip is still sore at times, but less so than it used to be, so hopefully the single leg lifting is helping address whenever hip flexor/glute weakness I happen to have.
