SuperBetter

So yesterday I watched a ted talk (as I often do when I am having a not so good day) and the new one was all about games in real life. It was actually by a past ted talker from the game industry and it was really interesting. I will let people find the ted talk them selves (its by Jane McGonigal).

So this afternoon while I was waiting around for my girlfriend to come and meet me at my office I decided to check out the webpage associated with this irl game.

So for my first 4 quests i decided to
1) hold my fists over my head for 5 seconds: + 5 Physical  Resilience
2) snap my fingers 50 times: +5 mental resilience
3) Watch this adorable youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw4KVoEVcr0): +5 emotional resilience
4) send Talia a text saying thank you (cause she is so amazing <smile>): +5 social resilience


 Superbetter goal: To get SuperBetter by getting fit


I decided to go with one of the pre-made power packs that the webpage has. I decided to go with sneaky workout. Actually, I noticed this afternoon that I had space under my desk so I could do some leg lifts while I program which I think will be my sneaky exercise. The added bonus is that it will hopefully help my with my knees. My goal go 3 sets of 15 leg lifts.


Oh I also found that they have an "epic win" section so I said my epic win was to be able to go to karate without having knee problems


My quest for tomorrow: take a single step away from my desk every half hour


lets see how I do.
