Welcome to the PE Gym, spunk.
A long-term goal of 8x6 isn't unreasonable--especially with your starting stats. You may also want to pick a short-term goal, as you mentioned. The little goals help keep you motivated, so it doesn't seem like you're trying to eat a whole elephant at once. You may want to start with a short-term goal of say, 7.25 X 5.25, and then gradually add more and more as you reach the little goals.
Hope this helps,
