Goal: Remove dead-weight.
Means: 1) Cut out simple sugars; success rate: Fail... Had candy yesterday.
2) Avoid processed starches; success rate: In-between... I only eat wheat, but I need to cut out ALL starches aside from sweet potatoes and brown rice.
3) Transfer basis of meal to protein and vegetable-based carbs; success rate: Fail... Only manage to do that about two meals a day.
Aim for Goal: I intend a paradigm shift. There will be a complete restructuring of my diet. I will go to the grocery store today and procure all that is necessary to avoid starvation/eating improperly at work.
End of Goal: The reason for this goal is because I still move sloppily over obstacles, and part of that is due to excess dead-weight keeping me from moving as best as I should be able to.

Goal: Increase cardiovascular endurance.
Means: 1) Intensify workout regimens; success rate: Fail... Only one work-out per week is what I would consider super-intense
2) Increase frequency of HIIT/tabata training; success rate: Fail... It is at most once a week.
3) Increase frequency of duration cardio; success rate: In-between... Standard training is duration cardio, but I could run more.
Aim: I will aim to run at least three times a week, no matter the distance or intensity. I will intensify my other work-outs so that cardiovascular abilities are necessary for completion of the anaerobic workouts at all.
End: I fully realize that my endurance is rather poor, and I would like to be able to move at full sprints across obstacles, which is currently rather taxing (and dangerous).

Goal: Increase muscular endurance (stamina).
Means: 1) Perform QM exercises/lunge exercises/etc. for further distances; success rate: In-between... They are at good distances, now, but I need to continue to distance it.
2) Increase quantity of all calisthenic exercises; success rate: In-between... My push stamina, particularly for my arms, is rather exceptional, but everything needs more work.
Aim: As above. This will be coupled with the intensifying work-outs means.
End: The end should be rather simple here. I should never NOT be able to perform a climb-up, just because i'm tired and my muscles are giving up on me. Same with a jump, or a vault, QM, or run.

I realize that it's technically "bad" to have such open-ended goals. But I have more specific "means" that can be considered goals. Each means is calculated in my head. For intensifying the work-outs, for instance, I will be increasing distances by 10m every week or two, and increasing sets for exercises by 50% for the same duration of time. The other specifics are already listed.

Make sure you know what your doing when you start a specific diet such as the one you proposed.
I wouldn't say starch is that bad but it is empty calories. The important thing is that it doesn't effect your vegetable and fruit consumption.
Also look for whole grain opposed to whole wheat, and check the facts to ensure the fiber content of the food is high, as well as low in sodium. Alot of products add a ton of extra sodium to make up for the bad taste of whole wheat.
Good luck on all your training aspirations. I'm always here for a second opinion.
