So there really aren't words for how totally stoked I am about working on my first published, print book. I don't even have any content for this post, I'm just going to gush about how excited I am!
So the book is about a thousand times deeper on nutrition habits than I ever have before, and it has the most refined workout program I've ever put together. I'll give more and more details about the content as it gets closer to release date.
I have pretty much the best co-author in the world. Literally, he's one of the best fitness authors in the world. To say that it's an honor to get to write a book with a legend is an understatement. I actually just don't know how I got to be so lucky.
And I also get to work the best publisher ever. OnTarget Publications does amazing books by heroes of mine, like Movement, by Gray Cook, and Never Let Go, by Dan John. It's really, really, really amazing. And everyone knows Laree Draper is the smartest and nicest person on earth. I couldn't possibly have a more amazing publisher.
I've been in Morro Bay, California, my home town, writing for months. The book has been edited, and now I'm working on the edits and suggestions, stuff to add and re-write.
I've been locked in a room with my computer working on this book mostly, but also have done some really great hiking around the hills and mountains and beaches and cliffs. Some of the best parts of the book came to me after staring at a screen for ten hours, and some of the best parts came to me on the backside of a mountain with the sun going down. I didn't take nearly as many pictures of staring at the computer as I did of my hikes.
The photoshoot for the exercised demonstrations is coming up in a week. I'm really stoked about that too. It's going to be so much work, and so much fun. I've done the movement descriptions a little differently in this book, and I think it's going to be super amazingly awesome.
Basically, it's the best work I've ever done. And this is totally a dream of mine. I'm really excited to get to share with you guys the best of what I've got. At the least, I hope it makes a difference for you in your fitness journal. At my most bold, I hope it gives a lot of trainers a different way to coach food, and impacts our whole industry. I can't say how many people I'll get to talk to through it, but you can count on me if you read it, that I'll give you the best that I have, and that it's new information, it's a fresh perspective, and it'll make a difference for you.
When this is all finished, I'm going to be moving back to Denver.
Just wanted to give you guys an update and let you know what I'm up to and what I'm working on.
