Hi. First Challenge. First weightlifting program. First time thinking of myself as a lifter. I'm looking forward to making new friends and cheering others on! Did my first day yesterday and though I'm sore, I was way proud of myself. Way more proud of any sort of endurance exercise I've ever done. I did barbell squats and had to tell everyone about it. So, yeah, lifting is for me. My chosen quests are: Fitness: Lift three times a week. I've already marked my days down on my calendar, so there should be limited interruptions to the plan. I have to start the habit before I seriously focus on getting heavier, I figure. I'm following the New Rules of Lifting for Women. Food: Get my protein up. I'm an herbivore, mainly, so this is going to be a challenge. Must feed the muscles. Looking to get at least 60 grams of protein each day of this challenge. LevelUpMyLife: Practice Spanish 10 minutes a day. I want to travel more, especially to Peru. So this is an important bit of the plan. It also ties into making myself an employee everyone will want. Ok, hope I figured this out and did it right. If not, constructive criticism is always happily accepted.
