    Reasonable: get to 190lbs from 205lbs
    Just plain out there: Look like a tall version of Brad Pitt from Fight Club.

    Decided to resurrect this thread - good topic! What do they say? Fail to Plan, Plan to fail? Made me think about goals.

    Realistic Goals [RG] vs. Fantasy Goals [FG]

    RG: Run a 1/2 marathon, uninjured and w/o throwing up on my shoes
    FG: Running a 50 miler when I'm fifty. That gives me 9 yrs to correct form and train. :huh:

    RG: Get to 22% Body Fat
    FG: Get to 15-18% Body Fat (<== I just don't want this badly enough. I love food and drink! :laugh: )

    RG: Be able to carry my share of equipment when backpacking.
    FG: Everest. Well maybe not. I don't think I'd like feeling like a lobster that was put in the freezer. I don't understand trying to do something so demanding and dangerous w/o full brain power.

    RG: Get rid of bat wings and be able to do real push-ups and pull-ups, someday.
    FG: Getting such ripped upper arms that I can cut all the sleeves off of all my clothing. :laugh: :noway:

    - - -
    It is just like me to want to cut the sleeves of all my clothes w/o remembering that season called winter. :laugh:

    realistic: back to the 10/10 body (but with the new abdominal scar) and fit enough to do a 50 mile backpacking trip.

    Fantasy: look like Liam Neeson in "The Big Man" and spend a summer hiking the Appalachian or pacific Crest Trails.
