darksakura Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi guys, I'm Jamie, and if any of you are into video games and podcasting, I'm one of the hosts of Orange Lounge Radio at VoGnetwork. My birthday was last Friday, and I made myself a promise to forget weight loss, forget clothes I will never look good in, and forget judgment. I'm focusing on strength and letting everything else fall into place (though I am keeping measurements). Why not follow in the footsteps of my favorite strong female video game characters? I learned how to do a deadlift today with an Olympic weight bar. HOLY POO. Well, I did get through three sets of fifteen, so that's something new. I've been doing the beginner circuit from this site and am starting to add things on different days to keep in interesting and challenge myself. Any suggestions for the n00b here?

Daithi Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Simply, Don't give up. Find your own form of motivation and stick to it. For me personally It's competitiveness, I set myself small challenges and go full out at it. Sort of like the 6 week Challenge here just on a smaller scale. I'm the Guy who lifts stuff.

Gilfren Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Create a tangible (and reachable) goal. Maybe something like climbing a rock wall or being able to lift a target weight. For me "looking better" wasn't enough because you can always be "better" Good luck! Level 2 Wood Elf.
