Ok, so there’s been some muttering amongst the masses for some form of Nutrition Challenge at the gym.  A way to force some discipline onto your daily routine of coffee, doughnuts, cigarettes, potato chips, coca-cola, street meat and oh yeah, booze.  Here’s a preliminary thought:

Who:  Anybody who responds to this post and says they are down with it.
What:  An 8 week commitment to yourself starting August 1. 
Where:  Anywhere that discipline is lacking.
When:  Starting August 1.  Ending October 1.
Why:  Hell if I know, you asked for it.  Nah just kidding.  Because it may just change your life.    
How:  First, post here under Comments and say you want to join.  
Second, YOU set the parameters of the Nutrition Challenge for you.  Do a little research, ask a few questions and decide what you think is best.  For Example:  My Challenge will be to eat Zone Paleo.  Or My Challenge will to be to drink only 3 beers a week, and eliminate sugar.  Or My Challenge is to go hardcore Paleo.  My Challenge is to eat more meat and veggies and eliminate starch and sugar.  My Challenge is to go cold turkey on the sauce.  Or My Challenge is to go hardcore Zone.  Or My Challenge is to eat nothing but pizza etc. etc.  You get the point.  You decide your Challenge.  Once you do so, you will Post it for the World to see on August 1. 
Third, you will get paired up with another participant.  Every day, you will email your pal and me (consider this your support group) on how you did that day.  It can be as simple as “yep, on track”, or as complicated as an item by item list of your intake.  Whatever works for you.  The email and your peers will hold you accountable.  Trial by a jury of your peers.
Lastly, we’ll do a handful of Benchmarks at the start and end of the Challenge.  Who knows, maybe you’ll get faster/stronger.  More importantly hopefully you will feel healthier and better about yourself for sticking to something that is worth sticking to.  Sounds Sticky. 

Let me know what you think.  Any Suggestions or Thoughts are welcome.
