21 days to make a Habit

I have read on several occasions that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit.  I am almost there.  This begins my third week of WODS with CrossFit Amplitude.  I think my favorite thing thus far has been that I haven't done the same thing twice.  Well other than run!  I still am not a fan of the running, but I understand its necessity and do it because it will make me better, stronger.  And stronger is really all its about. 

Today's workout I will have to say may have been my favorite so far.  We started of with a 400m run as well as bear and spider crawls (its exactly what it sounds like) and of course fundamental movements which would lead into our WOD.  

Today's WOD was as follows:
 

3 Deadlift

6 Ground to Overhead

9 Overhead Squats

7 Minutes AMRAP

It was my first day using the bar with actual weights on it.  It was fun to put into actual use all of the movements I have been learning in the last two weeks.  And even though I knew my quads were going to be killing me later, I went after this workout.  I never thought of myself as someone who would enjoy lifting weights, but it makes you feel really powerful.  I can actually feel a difference in the way my body feels after a day of lifting cases of wine at work.  It's like I am a car, and I just got a new set of tires.  I can feel the strength in my legs improving and it just makes me want to keep working, harder and harder every day.  

So I will be up at 5am tomorrow.  To get ready for the day, the month, the rest of my life, fighting to make it to my 21st day.  To make this great new feeling a habit.
