I've been working on a 13 week program and start my first session today. For readers with an iphones/ipod touch, the following apps are excellent. Think of them as your recount and omen for the real world: Serious nutrition tracker: This cool app has a massive database of food that you can choose from, as well as input your own and keep track of your daily calorific intake. It also shows how you distribute your calories across the day. iFitness: I have paid for several exercise databases and this is by far the best one. It has several workout routines preloaded and you can even make your own and track your progress. Looks like you have pulled a few heart strings on this one mate.

I'm a 23 year old female and I've been playing WoW for about 3 years now. Your post comes at an interesting time for me. After 3 years of sitting on my butt I'm starting to see some disturbing changes and I'm fed up with it. My New Year's resolution is similar to yours: scale back my online time a little, pay more attention to my body and my health - basically, try to find a balance. I look forward to your future posts on this subject. I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks, as I’ve got a ret pal in the works (69).

I've started working out in the gym November 2009 but I'm just building strength, not losing weight. I will use that program to get my weight back down (currently at about 210 lb, used to be 175 a year and a half ago) and besides that build some muscle. However, despite being overweight I'm not fat (thanks to being about 6'1") but I've gotten more and more comments on my physique the last couple of months. Finding a working balance between gaming and being fit can be quite hard and generally means some sacrifices have to be made. For me being in good shape and feeling healthy is on the top of my list so I cut down on the hours spend gaming. It can be hard and I've caught myself spending too much time on games occasionally.
