Goals... They're More than Just Words

   Where am I? Where do I want to go? How do I get there? How long will this take?  All of these are questions that every serious athlete has asked themselves. And the crazy part is that it is not about what the answer to these questions is that sets us apart. Instead, it's HOW we answer the question that matters.

   Are you super skinny or a "Hardgainer" and you want to bulk up? Are you overweight or not satisfied with your bikini body ( sorry guys )? Or... do you have a really good health base, you are fit and at a comfortable body fat percentage, but you just want to make some tweaks regardless of whether those are to slim down just a little, or to get better at pullups. Regardless of who you are and where you want to get to...getting to that magical place is all in your goals...

The Purpose of Eat...Sleep...WOD

     While talking with my friend David Csonka, from over at Naturally Engineered, he mentioned that I needed to make sure that if I was going to make this blog a success, it needed to have a purpose.

   Now given that I have been formulating a future blog post in my head about goals and goal setting, I realized that Dave was right on the money. What is Eat...Sleep...WOD all about? If I was going to do this, I was going to do it right!

Final Garage Games Mock Competition

This past weekend was the final Mock Competition before we head to the Garage Games next Month. Overall I did alright. My 5K trail run time was the same as last month, and needs work, but overall I was satisfied. Hit a new Deadlift PR of 410!

Then I looked at some of the pictures from this weekend:

And I noticed that I am not nearly as lean as what I though I was...

Granted this past week I have been experimenting with 1/2 GOMAD ( all of which was raw), and I weighed myself at 211 this morning ( up 3-4 # from last week ).

So here is my solution:

1) Switching out all my fatty protein sources for lean sources ( i.e. Chicken instead of Beef )
2) Cutting out Sweet Potatoes / Squash / Blueberries ( I already don't eat much fruit )
3) No more Whey Protein post WOD... Going to EAT all my protein instead of drinking it
4) I'm 211#'s... I'll be eating 210 grams of protein a day ( That's 30 Blocks for you Zone Folks)

So there it is, my first post...Some good, Some bad, and Some resolution.
