WHAT ARE MY GOALS?

If I'm going to do this right....this time, I need to set a series of goals.  I decided that I will try and choose goals that are both short term and long term.  In my current shape, even my short term goals seem a bit long, but I will eventually get them. I am almost looking at this as sort of a "bucket list" that will hopefully keep me from "kicking the bucket" too early.

CLOTHING GOALS

• I want to be able to wear an XL large t-shirt without having to worry about my belly hanging out of the bottom of the shirt.  (I know....gross, but hey, there it is.)
• When I was a teenager, I was able to wear 32-34 jeans.  I would love to get down to a pair of 38 waist jeans or less.
• I would love to move from wearing XL athletic pants to L athletic pants.
• I want to wear athletic pants and shorts and not have the waist band be rolled over by my belly.
• I want to wear a t-shirt and have it loose over my belly, but tight through the shoulders and arms.

BODY GOALS

• I want to have more of a V-shaped upper body instead of pear shape.
• I want to be able to see veins in my arms and not have to worry about a nurse hunting and pecking for a vein when drawing blood.
• I want to see the curves of muscle and not the curves of fat.

MEDICAL

• I want to get my blood pressure under control and not need medication for it.
• I want my ankles and knees to be pain free because they are not under so much stress all the time.
• I want to improve circulation in my legs.

FITNESS

• I want to do a pull up without any assistance.
• I want to be able to bench press my body weight.  (Means strength must go up and weight must go down.)
• I want to be able to do a pistol squat and possibly a pistol squat on a kettle bell.
• I want to do a handstand push up.
• I want to do a Muscle Up.
• I want to be able to do the Human Flag.
• I want to be able to do a Russian Get Up with a weighted barbell.
• I want to be able to run a 5k at a 9:30 pace or under
