Complacent

So I'm occasionally forgetful about posting. That's not true, I think about posting a lot. That damn life of mine keeps getting in the way, though. Between having 1 job, accepting another, having a demanding family life, and trying to keep in touch with friends, working out and posting on a blog are falling to the wayside. Silly life. Why doesn't it understand that my T2B aren't just magically going to get better?! :) 

This month has been all about being complacent and that's not a good place to be. I have not really had the desire to spend my time in the gym. I definitely have not been putting forth as much effort as is needed if I want to compete; that was very much brought to light at the Cornhusker State Games and the Fittest of the Falls competitions. I am no where near where I like to think that I am. However, I am also losing a lot of steam because I'm not there yet. I know I need to go to the gym to get better, but not getting all that much better makes it really hard to get into the gym. Stupid Catch 22. 

I'll do my best to play catch up for August.
