Commitment Fobia

I came across this poster the other day and my initial reaction was I can't do that.



"Oh, there's a camel in the room" says Ricardo.  I am training for an Ironman and my water intake is at about 20oz per day, max. On weekends, it's more, but that's when I am riding 150km+.

But when I drink (and this statement is not limited to water), I drink.  I mean chug like I haven't had water in days.

So I saw the poster and thought, I can't do that. Why?  Because I have a little pink note on my desk at school that says, "hydrate." I have said it again and again ... "I need to drink more water."

And I haven't.  

So naturally, I feel like because I have failed at this goal time-and-time again, that I will fail again. 

But so what if I do?  Will I be any worse off.  No.  But I am stifled by the words "commitment." 

Does it make me a flake or a hypocrite if I don't "commit" again?

And then I come back to a simple truth.

No, it just makes me dehydrated. 

Throwing a glass back now.

Happy hydrating.
