7 Steps to Fail At Blogging | My (3rd) First Post

This is my first post of a brand new blog. But first, I have a confession.

Blogging and I have a past. I've tried, and I've failed at it. I love it and think about it often, but have never done well in the long run. It's similar to the relationship thousands have with new gym memberships every year (I've been there too).

Allow me to explain through my "7-Step Program". You may relate, and if not just bear with me and feel free to have one of those giggles where your mouth stays closed but you give a little smirk and blow air out of your nose a little harder, kinda like this:

Step 1: Sign up, highly motivated and eager to get started, knowing your life will never be the same.

Step 2: Buy a new outfit (or three), and practice putting out the vibe, because you lookin' good. You may even check yourself out a time or two just to make sure that's still in fact you in the mirror (Note: If you're a Crossfit person, this continues to be the case throughout your experience, except you add a few dozen instagram pics/vids per day of the experience, plus every balanced meal you eat. Well, you don't take pics of the ice cream, but then again that would ruin your rep).

Step 3: You make a commitment to go at least 4 days a week, 2-3 hours per day. Woo-hoo! Now, time to head to the gym and let the journey begin! You pretty much look like this:

Or this:

Step 4: Time to get your workout on!

Step 5: Having waaay overdone it, you are in denial but feel good that the journey has begun. Congratulations to you!

Step 6: Then you walk out, feeling like this. 

Step 7: Somehow, you get home. The End. No more steps. Doneski. Good try. Maybe next year...

Now that this is out of the way, allow me to make the commitment known -- I would love keep this blog going longer! But as some of you know, I'm wrapping up grad school; my wife & I are preparing for the birth of our firstborn in December; and we're moving overseas next year - so I promise I'll do my best. Seriously though, you should keep up with this blog. 

So, while I do feel like this inside right now:

I feel like this for finally starting this blog. Plus I figured out how to put a gif on a post, so that's good.
