Bill's 20/20 Lifestyle Program

I have set a number of goals for myself on the program. I figure that many smaller goals always gives me something to look forward to achieving without having to wait months and months. Here are my goals (including a new goal that I just recently added: more on that later).

Bill's Weight Loss Goals (in rough order of expected acheivement):

• Get down to where I was when I decided I should start running because I was too heavy
• Meet my 20/20 program weight loss goal (20 lbs)
• Get out of the 200s
• Get down to 190
• Get to "normal" weight (BMI < 25.0 which is 189 for me)
• Get down to 180
• Stay at or below 180 for 1 year

Bill's Health Goals:

• Get blood pressure to normal with medication
• Get HBP medication reduced
• Get off HBP medication altogether
• Get clean blood chemistry results
• Stay healthy for 1 year

Bill's Fitness Goals:

• Run 3 miles with no stops
• Run 5 miles with no stops
• Run 8 miles with no stops
• Run in the "Beat the Bridge" 5 mile race (requires running first 2 miles in 20 minutes or less)
• Do an unassisted pull up (this is embarrassing!)
• Do 20 unassisted pull ups
• Run the Salmon Days Rotary Run (5K) in under 27 minutes
• Run a 10K
• Run a half-marathon by the end of 2006
• Run a marathon by the end of 2007
• Keep my running program going for 2 solid years

I will be updating on the status of these goals as I go along. I've already met some of them, but I'll save that for other postings.
