Happy New Year! Also Fitocracy

Happy new year and all that jazz!


Now, i'm a member of an internet community (regretsy.com) - most recently in the news because of the bullshit paypal pulled for our secret santa efforts - http://consumerist.com/2011/12/paypal-rains-on-regretsys-secret-santa-campaign-over-use-of-wrong-button.html    For more info.

It's workout social networking mixed with RPG elements. You log your workouts into Fitocracy and earn achievements and experience points. You can join groups, enter contests, and track your fitness goals.  (stolen shamelessly from rjoriginals on the forum.)

  It's quite fun acutally - I logged a cycle to the shops and back, and was immediatley leveled up! I've also managed to complete a quest (do certain excersizes in a #days time frame.) and i've also gotten achievement badges, just for being friendly.

I'm acutally being motivated, which is amazing - i've been having a very meh time lately. nothing I want = no motivation.. just 'getting healthy' or 'losing weight' aren't motivation, it seems.
Inerested?

edit actually it looks like i've completed 3 quests, and 2 achievements!
