For the past 6 weeks I have been on a training program. I am following the Body for Life workout program for my weight lifting. I am halfway through the 12 week program. I am really on track with my workouts, but now I want to take my diet to the next level. I reported on my progress stats last week. I am very happy with my results so far, but now I am at the point in a diet where I used to fail. I have several challenges that I need to work through. I drink a lot on the weekends and my diet slips. When my mates are out and ask me to join them for a meal, it is hard to say no. I am working on this and I have discovered something really helpful.
This exercise site is really useful. I only started yesterday, but I was able to enter all of my old workout stats into the trackers. It keeps track of every element of my diet now, as well as calculating my workouts and progress. I really love all the graphs it has to show how well I’m doing. Now that I am recording my food as well as my exercise, I am automatically being more strict. Every elements of my profile on there is public. People can see old pictures of me topless, through ones I took just last Friday.
If any of my friends join this site, and I hope they do, they can be my “gym buddy and track my progress and we can compare all of our stats. It turns all of this working out into a type of video game/stat tracking experience that I enjoy.
It also has a really good meal planning facility. I think the next level is to plan my meals each day. It’s a little boring, but I think it’s quite good. I also started walking a little farther to a Sainsbury that has a huge selection of turkey, which is my favorite meat. Well I love duck too. But I prefer turkey burgers to beef burgers and I love turkey sausage.
Anyways, the main purpose of this post is to suggest this website. It’s really good and helps you to motivate, especially if you have a computer style mind like me. Let me know if you join, so we can be gym buddies.
Another great feature is Twitter integration. I am really into automating aspects of Twitter, such as aggregating my blog every 5 posts, which you know if you follow me. You can set up how often you want it to auto-tweet. I have it set up to Tweet whenever I hit a goal. You can have it annoy your mates every time you workout if you like!
