Beware of the C-Word

The Big C-Word.  Complacency.  Do not be complacent in your life or in your workouts.  Always strive to do more.  I feel like I've been living in a state of complacency for the past few months and it's time for that to change.  I've been accepting things as they are and not coming with the attitude that I could change the situation.  Like today, before the workout I was already psyching myself out about the pull-ups and the push-ups, and I kept telling myself I'll be happy with 9 rounds (that was my PR on the workout Rx'd), but I wasn't.  There was no sense of satisfaction with accomplishing that number.  My problem tonight was that after I did my first couple of pull-ups in September, I became complacent with being able to do two or three at a time and I quit working on them.  I quit working on my kip and on my deadhang.  I accepted that I could do "Cindy" but couldn't do "Helen" because of the number of pull-ups.  I had become complacent.  The state of complacency is horrible, especially when you wake-up and realize what you have done.  So from here on out I am promising myself that I will not be complacent.  Like I said before, BEWARE OF THE C-WORD.  COMPLACENCY IS A DANGEROUS STATE.  ALWAYS WORK TO BE BETTER.
