I DID IT!!!

I did it!  I did it!  Something I’ve been trying to do for a very long time!  A full-hanging, unassisted overhand grip pull-up!
My trainer (and others) have been telling me that I’m strong enough and more than capable, but I seemed to have a mental block or something preventing me from getting that initial lift.  I’ve been a bit frustrated because I agreed that I should be able to do them but couldn’t seem to engage the right muscles.
Today at about 6:40am, I finally did it like it really wasn’t a big deal.  I was so excited!  I started hopping and dancing around like you wouldn’t believe!  (OK, some of you would believe, haha!!!)  After a little celebration for my accomplishment, I did another.  And another.  OK, my chin barely got to the bar on the 3rd but I’m counting it!
I am so excited to prove I can do a pull-up!!  FINALLY!!  It took me almost four decades to get here but who’s counting??  :-)
Now what should be my next goal??  I’m open to ideas!
