Igglepud Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 My wife found this blog about a month ago and I am finally getting around to joining the rebellion. I can't do a pull-up. I will do ten of them. We have spent the last three or four years taking control of our lives. It was scary. Lots of big changes, mainly in the finances and lifestyle areas, but it is doable. The scariest part happened this summer: in the middle of our world-wide recession, I quit my safe, secure job as a Spanish teacher and we moved. Why? Because we wanted to... And life turned out to be alright. I'm not chained to my career anymore. Don't get me wrong, I loved teaching. But now I don't HAVE to teach. I can do whatever I want. The next step for me is to figure out what that is, but I know it includes pull-ups. Quote Link to comment

cremshoff Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Howdy and Welcome! Anything new and different is exciting! Congrats on joining the Rebellion! What else do you want to accomplish? Bike riding? kayaking? climbing a mountain? And on the pullups, you will be able to blow through them!

Igglepud Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I want to buy a bike. I used to ride one all of the time and loved it. Not much for hard-core racing, but as for basic tranportation it is awesome. As for what else I want, I don't know yet. I think that is the base of any frustrations I have: I'm not specific with my long-term goals. My short-term goal for the week is to write out my own epic quest. Quote Link to comment
Igglepud Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I would like to add one thing... I shave with a straight razor. Straight-shaving should be mandatory. Quote Link to comment
