You Are Your Own Grand Experiment

I could start this blog telling you what I think you should eat. I could tell you how I think you should train. I could even tell you how I think you should sleep, think, and interact with your loved ones. But that's not my ultimate goal here.

I had a discussion with my instructor last night, and he said something more profound than he probably meant it to be: "Anyone can give you advice based on their opinions...but their experiences are worth listening to."

While there are a few things we don't agree on (him being a bodybuilder and I being mostly anti-bodybuilding), this is one thing I do agree with. Wholeheartedly.

As I said, I could start this blog like all the others: You should eat this, not that. You should train this way, not that way. But I'm not here for that. I'm here to speak my experiences, in hope that it will help those who are open to listen to them. In future posts, I plan on providing information regarding diet (what I have found that works, and what I'm experimenting with and researching), exercise (all based on my experiences), and many random lifestyle topics such as sleep, daily habits, zen, hobbies, etc. etc. etc.

I will share what works, or has worked, for me. But that doesn't make it gospel that should be followed. I teat myself as my own grand experiment. I don't recommend anything to anyone unless I've tried it and been successful with it. You are no different. Research. Learn. Experiment. A lot. And never lose your hunger for knowledge! Learn what works for you, instead of just doing the same thing because some "health authority" told you it's the best! It may not be the best for you!

To make a long story short, I want to share my experiences and some of my opinions with you. But take it with a grain of salt and do the research.

I promise you will be all the better for it.
