Day 41: Why Am I Blogging?

One of my buddies asked me recently, why I'm doing this blog. He wanted to know if a lot of people were reading it. When I told him that I thought only 10-20 people had visited the site, he said I was crazy. Why would anyone want to put so much effort into such an endeavor for so few followers? Well, this is why I am doing Jeff 2.0. I think my reasons are pretty sound.

• I want to document this whole P90X adventure, so I can see my progress.  I've gotten in shape before but never taken measurements or before-and-after pics. By documenting my efforts, I will be able to clearly see my progress and measure my results.
  
• When I'm finished, I'll be able to print a book of this blog using Blog To Print.
  
• Blogging forces me to write. By maintaining this and my other blogs, I am forced to exercise my writing muscle daily. I really want to become a better writer and that requires daily practice.
  
• Blogging releases my creative energy. When I write the posts and edit the photos, I kick that left brain into high gear. This whole process gets me high. I love the way it makes me feel.
  
• When I write the posts I become more introspective. I look inside myself and learn more about myself and what I am going through. Healthy introspection is always a good thing.
• I want to inspire and help other people who want live healthier lifestyles.
  
• Who knows. Maybe I will develop a readership if I continue to blog. Who wouldn't mind that?

That's pretty much it. I do another blog called Jeff & Sons about me and my boys and the things going on in our lives. Soon I will also be starting another blog called Jeff On Tech where I write about effective technology that I use for business and in my personal life.

BTW, I did the Kenpo X in my crowded garage that I am remodeling. It was so, so frickin' fun. Kenpo is my favorite workout.
