Funny enough, I don't *love* spinning or hot yoga, but I do it anyway "because I know it's good for me" and sometimes, depending on my mood, I really do enjoy it. Maybe we can train our brains to love something after doing it long enough? I dunno... I do agree that sometimes quitting is the answer. Why torture yourself?

I have to try things for quite some time before I finally give up. (Hence the reason my shortest relationship was 3 months, LOL.) I think I’m a Suzie for the most part.

I have a very hard time quitting things unless they REALLY aren't working. I’m actually all about the stick-with-it. I have a very hard time quitting things unless they REALLY aren’t working.

I do enjoy hiking and kickboxing and step class and cycling, so that's no problem. Sometimes I'd also like to eat less healthy food, and drink more, but I don't do that either, because I don't want to be a fat alcoholic.

I answer "because I'm not coordinated/too clumsy to do anything else" and that is the truth. I do love to run. I do love to try new things but that doesn't always mesh with what I CAN do successfully. I'm OK with that. So Things like quiting smoking or drinking soda are great new years resolutions, so is quiting that thing that doesn't bring you joy or satisfaction. No point in being miserable and bringing everybody else down right? People ask why I run. I answer “because I’m not coordinated/too clumsy to do anything else” and that is the truth.

I think you gave it a good shot, saw it wasn't for you, and decided to re-prioritize...I don't think that's quitting. When you're stuck in the mud, you don't look around and say, "hey...this is really nice mud, I'll stay here." You move, right? Is that quitting the mud, or re-thinking that where you are isn't the right spot? Hear! hear!
