"If your not first, your last..."

While I was happy to compete I would have like to have our team in the photo instead of the winners. The event was a huge success and raised a large amount of money for Alzheimer's disease research. Team Dynamic Fitness solutions finished 7th out of 40 teams and would have been in the top five if we hadn't over analyzed several clues.
Teams were given 25 clues to 25 destinations in Philadelphia and rewarded points for figuring out the location and corresponding question associated with the location. e.g. The Philadelphia Symphony plays here? Answer: Kimmel Center. Corresponding question once you arrived at the Kimmel Center. How many tiles does the commonwealth of Pennsylvania crest touch? Answer: 8. We had 2.5 hours to get as many locations in as we could. All in all we walked almost 7 miles in 95+ degree weather.
The lesson I learned from Saturday is to not over analyze clues or information. For example : One of the questions said we need to find "Curly's" House and a corresponding mural. My teammate says, I know where Larry Fine was born but I don't know where Curly was born. Now we walked right by Larry's house and did not check it for the any murals. Of course the question was wrong and they obviously don't know their stooges but we should have just put down the mural instead of over analyzing and not acting.
Analysis Paralysis is a condition I often find in my clients and myself. Maybe we read a diet that calls for eating fewer than 100 grams of carbohydrates and because of this one item we neglect to do any part of the diet. The funny thing most of us couldn't track our macronutrients to that level anyway. Simple plans are the most effective, such as cutting sugary drinks, Fast food, and anything with High fructose corn syrup.
Here is my simple Plan: Work my ass of in the gym and BJJ facility and cut the crappy foods from my diet.
