Hello World

This is my first blog post.  This blog will be dedicated to progress on my goals. 

I have set a goal of being able to do 1 pull-up.  This is a literal & metaphorical goal for me.  I've never in my life done a pullup, so it would be a huge accomplishment.  Right now I am carrying a lot of extra weight, so I need to get shed a lot of fat so that the job of pulling my body won't be so hard.  This also pertains to other things in my life weighing me down, such as procrastination, too much TV, & harmful self-indulgence.  I also need to gain strength to be able to do a pullup.  This relates as well to the strength I want to build in following through on goals, pushing/cheering myself on, & coping with life head on. 

Here's where I want to be in 1.5 years: 
Down to ~150 lbs
Strength up enough to do 1 pull-up
Minimal TV & other time wasters (0-1 hr per day).
Lots of activity in my life (1-2 hrs per day)
Face up to work-related anxiety & 1) deal with it head on, 2) be mindful & kind to myself
Can count on myself to follow through
