Welcome. On this blog, I'll post my long term goals, my weekly subgoals, and my progress towards achieving them. I'll let friends and family members know about the blog, and update my readers as I go along. If I meet my goals, please, give me a pat on the back. If I don't, please give me a dirty look and a friendly smack. You can give feedback by leaving a blog comment, but email, snail mail, phone calls, and text messages work too.
The philosophy of this blog is based on the importance of (1)
making a public commitment (as the title says) and (2)
finding a partner to work together towards my goals. My first two goals are passing the VA bar exam, and gaining 20 pounds of muscle. So I've started this blog (a public commitment) and found both a study and a workout buddy. I'll also start a weekly mailing list.
If I meet my goals, I'll throw a party. And buy a puppy.
When I meet the above goals, I'll move onto others. All in good time.
