Should I do Catholic tradition if I'm not really Catholic?

Hi,  I was curious about being a Catholic.  My dad was Christian and when we were kids, he used to take us to church with him but everything seemed like I don't understand it.   My grandma is catholic and what she told me made sense of Catholic religion.   I am older now and was choosing going to catholic church because I understood and it made sense when my grandma explained to me.   The thing is,  I am not baptized, I don't go to church Sundays,  or don't know the even more detailed of why Chris sacrificed everything for us, etc.  Nor do i read the Bible.  My cousins, when they pass by the, "virgen" they umm, "se persignan" (like where they do a cross figured finger and putting it to forehead, to heart, to left then right, and kiss).  Since I wanted to become a Catholic, I started doing it too but then later, I myself thought and asked then, "do you think I should be doing that when I don't even know why people do it?"  They told me "well, not really."  Because I really don't know why.  Then I thought, I really don't do anything to learn about catholic.  Do you think, since for a while I used to do the not eat meat first Wednesday and Fridays and last Sunday during lent and giving up what's hard for me to do, I should stop doing it?  Then I, again like they say it in Spanish, "me persigno" at nights before bed.  What are your thoughts?  Honestly should not do those stuff, "persignar," sacrifice, etc, if I don't really know the concepts and traditions?  Nor if I'm not even reading/studying the bible. Thanks
