If you’re visiting for the first time from the blog carnival (Manival) happening at Art of Manliness, then welcome to GetGeekStrong.com. There aren’t a whole lot of articles yet on this blog so take a quick look, you might find something interesting or enlightening.

I like to blog about entrepreneurship, parenting (from the perspective of a newcomer), marriage and anything that will help me get “Geek Strong” which is how I think of my holistic approach to general health which includes mental, physical, financial, relational and spiritual health.

GetGeekStrong.com is one of many projects that I work on in my spare time and I must admit that contributing to the Manival pushed me, in a good way. Perhaps with events like these and the gentle encouragement of my wife to write more (an old passion of mine) articles will come more regularly.

My thanks to Brett at Art of Manliness for the opportunity. His blog is like a much needed drink of water in an internet wasteland.

Friends,

Thank you for coming back despite my horid blogging habits. It turns out that I suck at blogging. It doesn’t matter why I’ve missed posting, what does matter is how I plan on approaching this blog for the time being.

I started this blog hoping to document my 12 week journey on the Body-For-Life fitness program. I am happy to report that, even though I am not blogging regularly about it, Body-For-Life is doing well for me. I’ve lost over 12 pounds at this point and I am getting stronger as well. I feel great. I still plan on blogging about my experience but I will no longer make empty promises about daily postings. This is my revised plan for this blog:

• Personal fitness updates will come when I have something to report
• I will post begin posting links to other blog articles that are important to me and, I feel, yo
• As blogging becomes more familiar to me you may see my blogging habits and style change

So that is the plan for now. This blogging thing is new to me and as much as I desire to be a good blogger, I also desire to stay focused on other things like my family, my day job and other revenue streams. Perhaps, someday, I’ll get good at this.

No, Body For Life is not harder than I thought. It’s plenty hard, but I expected that. Blogging on a daily basis is hard as you can see from my sporadic Daily Recap postings. Day three through six are missing posts, I know. But I am keeping track and will post soon. Right now I must watch 300.

My name is Eric Granata and this is my first real attempt at a blog. This blog will not focus on my family, funny videos I saw or photos from the zoo. For that you can visit ericgranata.com. This purpose of this blog is to document my quest for a body that is strong, fit and in shape and a mind that is sharp, quick and just…on.

In the following posts you will learn more about who I am , my present state, what I want to obtain and how I plan on getting there. Stay tuned.
