Background & Motivation: I am a middle aged guy; I have been overweight most of my life. I can safely blame it on bad diet and lack of exercise. There have been peeks of exercise over the years when I bulked up because I do enjoy lifting from time to time. I am a horrible runner. I have taken various martial arts classes throughout the years. I am 140 lbs over weight and with two little kids and a dear wife who all depend and love me and want me to get my health in order. So, sitting in a cubicle all day only to go home and snore on the couch is not cutting it. Objective: I want to knock off 20 pounds and get to 3 pull ups, 50 push ups and 50 sit ups in this challenge Goal 1: 2 weeks I want to be at 1 pull up and 15 push ups and 15 sit ups Goal 2: By end of week 4, 2 pull ups, 30 push ups and 30 sit ups Goal 3: By end of week 6, 3 pull ups, 50 push ups and 50 sit ups Life goal—eat healthier by making small Paleo substitutions every week
