Apparently the Thoughts from the Trenches theme is WAY more
popular then I thought.

I got so many emails with ‘YAY’ votes and a lot of emails with
opinions and thoughts on what I’d talked about. That’s pretty
awesome.

I didn’t get any ‘NAY’ votes so they are either still hiding or
I’m really liked (I’m going with the first one).

Here’s this week’s edition:

- why are some people so afraid to change their program even when
their current program isn’t working at all for them?

- IF you’ve been reading my stuff for a while you know I’m not a big
fan of jogging for fat loss. Now I know that you can lose weight by
jogging but you can lose weight by not eating for a week. Does that
mean that not eating for a week should be a recommended fat loss
protocol. Of course not. There’s just way more efficient ways to
lose fat, that’s all I’m saying.

- Trainers can be DANGEROUS to your health. Do your research before
choosing one. You’ll be shocked by this story:

- quote of the week: “Ability is what you’re capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you
do it.” - Lou Holtz

- life coach Craig Harper from good ole’ Aussie land has in my
opinion the best blog out there (even though, I don’t always tend
to agree with his fitness advice), his thoughts on living a
powerful life are second to none. Check his blog out here:

- how frustrating is it when you try to teach kids, but they don’t
really want to listen, even though the stuff you’re telling them
could make them into a better player, person, classmate, student,
etc…and then remember you were probably the exact same way they
were. Kind of makes you feel like a dumbbass for not taking all the
advice people were trying to give you, doesn’t it?

- I don’t know what it is about waterfalls or those little water
fountain things you can put in your home, but I love them for
whatever reason.

- I just finished reading Me and My Dad by former New York Yankee
Paul O’Neill. Great read for any baseball fan. Makes me miss the
days of going in the backyard everynight after school to play catch
with my Dad. Sports were so much more simple back then.

- do kids even play catch with their dad’s still or do they just
play those friggin’ video games?

- I think I’ll save my BOSU ball thoughts for next week and a few more
pretty cool things too.

Have a great one,

Dan Grant
