I am making myself available this Saturday, after the 10am Introductory Class, to share my thoughts on nutrition with any of you who are interested. I will put a sign-up list on the extra whiteboard at the Fort and I ask that you throw your name on there if you will be hanging around on Saturday. Feel free to get some skill work in during the Introductory Class while you wait.

Please spend some time seriously considering your goals if you haven't already done so. Your goals must be realistic, observable, and measurable while not conflicting with each other, if they are to be attainable. I would also like to ask that you get some measurements taken this week, preferably before class, as Saturday will be pretty busy.

Finally, I know I will come off as a dick saying this, but I must reiterate Jennie's comments from the other day and ask that you don't waste my time if you aren't truly interested in buckling down and attacking your nutrition. There is no minimizing the fact that it is going to take hard work and discipline to succeed. Changes will have to be made. Don't expect me to simply reduce your calorie intake. That's not what this is about. I have ample studies backing up the claim that you cannot out work your food consumption. Instead, we will be targeting hormonal changes through your dietary prescription (more about this on Saturday). I know this is foreign to most of you and maybe even a little unimaginable. I'm not asking you to believe that the world is flat though. I'm just asking you to have an open mind, be a critical thinker, and make informed decisions on your own. I guarantee that working with me on your nutrition will result in improved workouts and better body composition. There is no doubt that you will have more energy and simply feel better throughout the entire day.
