So, I'm going to do it. I'm going to start an online journal. I know this is not a major groundbreaking event, especially for so many of you that have been keeping one for some time. But this is my own expose into my own weird world of training and eating.
A little background about me...I am 27, former military, and former (very) competitive athlete.
After achieving my bachelors degrees (two in four years) after completing four years of active military service I joined the real world of seemingly Groundhog days, and my training took the same turn. I often would rut in my training and eating because it was all I saw all the time...gyms, athletes, injuries, and the physiology of exercise.
Then I decided to change my scenery and change my career and toppled my world on it's head (with some consequence to my psyche...as Leon would say, I could use some herbal tea). Anyway in my topsy-turvy life, training all the while, I allowed myself to go from being in the greatest shape I had ever been, to being still athletic and fit (by average standards), but missing the challenge and the push. I was missing the fun and had no end goal.
In during this time, my eating habits waxed and waned from decent to crap to kinda disordered to better to so-so...even though I know better. And while I know better, I still know there there is so much I don't know- about training and eating because my background and education is what I have experienced, witnessed, read, and researched.
But everyone is different and training like this is so different. There are so many facets, physiologies, and research. The world is always changing, evolving into that faster, higher, stronger mantra of time.
And again, while there are no regattas, few races, no grass fields, no netted goals and ball to rocket in them, no game clocks, no seasons, and no championship events, I will train hard.
I do now have a goal, but it depends on my work and mine alone...in the gym and even in the kitchen.
And it begins, uncerimoniously and without physical spectators, I present my journal...
Like I mentioned in my title, I very much welcome feedback. Even honest criticism. And while I am hardly thin-skinned or fragile, I would appreciate more the constructive type. Flat-out blastings are accepted when deserved (hey, I'm a moron sometimes so I know they'll be deserved).
Thanks for stopping by.

in length so I had to go out and mow and run around w/ the dog; after which I was hungry again.
Good news is that it is healing along nicely.
