Oh Fitness Lord, hear my cries.
I am what you could call a binge athlete. I hit something extremely hard for a certain amount of time, and then I stop for just as long. I use the word "stop" because I wouldn't refer to it as quitting or burn-out. When you quit something you give up on it, and cheat yourself. Well, I haven't given up on working out, but I am cheating myself. I also wouldn't call it burn-out. Burn-out leaves the taste in your mouth that your body is tired and needs a break, which can be a good thing at times but overall, we don't want. I haven't burned-out. I'd call it a failure to stay in a routine, and a failure to make the smart choices when it comes to habits.
So, in short, I hope by writing this blog I will force myself to continue on with my goals, and to start to realize that I don't need to break habits. This can become just as addicting as myspace, facebook, or any other website that people check religiously.
This will be my log for Crossfit, swimming, running, or anything else that I really want to mess around with.

hey, just surfed over from the comments page for today's WOD. i have the same affliction as yourself, and also don't want to cheat myself any longer. reading and posting to the crossfit comments page definitely helps keep me motivated though. i think having your own blog to keep a fuller record of progress is a great idea too. but don't stop posting to the comments page! good luck with whatever coach throws at us tomorrow... >:)
