Why am I doing this?

I have found that I am in need of a project. I also have several goals that seem to be nagging me lately. 1. I need to get in shape. Although round is a shape, it's not so much what I am looking for. 2. I need to read the Bible more. It has yet to become a vital foundation to my faith on a consistent basis. 3. I would like to write more. It's something I greatly enjoy, but simply do not make time for it.

So I have decided to take the next 90 days to simultaneously complete the P90X fitness challenge, Read the Bible in 90 Days, and Blog about my entire experience. Viola! This condenses all three goals into a single project.

Day 76

Workout- Kenpo X
Bible Reading- Luke 10 - 20:19

Going into this challenge, I think I was most excited about the blogging portion. I feel like I am a fairly thoughtful, well spoken, and funny guy when I want to be. The down side is that the obligation to write mixed with the lack of time have forced this part of the challenge to be the biggest drudgery ever. I think it has been motivating in that I know there are people that check this on a daily basis to see what I am up to. So I complete my blog as a means of proving that I am not slacking off. It is also demotivating as I don't feel that I have really said anything of any substance. I'm not looking the change the world here, just hoping to produce something that is not merely a recap of what I did for the day.

And I feel that I have failed. I'm really not trying to be a downer here. I'm just realizing that this blog is fulfilling a more utilitarian purpose. I'm having to rethink what my goals for this are. It is serving the purpose of keeping me on track and for now, I am ok with that. I can be creative later.
