I was deadlifting this morning early in my garage.
I hate deadlifting. I don’t know why, but I do.
As the weight got heavier and I began to realize I was dreading this more and more, I asked myself why I was doing this? Why was I doing something I don’t like?
CrossFit is about doing a bunch of things well, and working on the ones you don’t do so well. Yet, at the same time, as I age, I don’t want to waste time doing something I don’t like doing.
You could say I had an epiphany.
I also realized I probably was never going to increase my deadlift weight because I hate doing it. I haven’t maxed my deadlift or my back squat in about two years. I am just never there mentally.
And I realized something: that’s ok. I am extremely fit. I don’t need to do something that is hard, heavy, and I hate doing.
Will I still deadlift? Sure. A lot? Probably not.
And for once, I’m okay with that.
My Journey to the CrossFit Games 
My husband believes that if you don’t like or aren’t good at something you should keep pushing till you get good at it. So I did that with burpees and the assault bike, now I don’t mind them. Will I apply that to food and other parts of my life? Heck no. 😅
