Check It Out! - Fitocracy

A friend of mine got me hooked on this site recently.  If you're like me, and the internet is a big part of your life, or you really like to play video games, then Fitocracy may be the site for you.

Fitocracy takes the element of competitive gaming and puts a fitness spin on it.  When you sign in, you can log your workouts and get points for it.  For every point you get, you come closer to leveling up.  You can also complete achievements and special "quests" for more points.

If that isn't cool enough, you can join groups of your peers based on your interests or groups of people you know in real life, and compete against them for points.  

If you're wondering if there is a reward for getting points, the answer is no.  The reward comes from making a healthier you, but this does call to the competitive nature in all of us.  

Right now, Fitocracy is available by invite only.  Lucky for my readers, I have an invite link that I can share with you.  So here you go!

We need to talk...

You might notice that I've not been around on here much in the last month.  This has been both intentional and unintentional.

I had to take a look back at what I had been doing with the blog and what I was doing in my personal life.  Let's be honest; that last post was pretty awful.  I felt that I needed some time to sort out my priorities and what I wanted to convey to my readers on this site.  Now I want to update you guys from where we left off.

Did anybody complete the Primal Blueprint Challenge?  I know that I didn't.  I was able to keep up with the exercise, but the diet fell through the floor.  I felt horrid for leaving off without any further update, but I knew that anything I would type would be short and boring, or a complete lie.  I haven't lied to you guys yet, and I don't plan to start now.

In short, I've not been following the best diet.  I have been exercising on a regular basis, and I have added some interesting things to my workout that I can't wait to tell you guys about.  As a result of this, I have neither gained nor lost any weight.  I want this to stand as a testament that losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise.


I'm trying my skills out in video form now as well.  I've already made one that needs some editing done, and as soon as I get it ran through all the hoops I'm going to send out to you guys.  I've also been talking with a guy who wants to be my personal trainer.  I've watched him work out a few times before and he really knows what he is doing.  I'm going to give him a try here soon, and I hope to pick up some new tips that I can also pass on to you.

Be on the lookout for new posts coming soon.  We're going to be talking about new websites, new exercises, and new diet tips.  Stick around for the show, because it's going to get good.  As always, thanks for reading and for your support.
