FACEBOOK is my Enemy

So FACEBOOK Games are my Downfall. They are free and they are fun to play... But Why? Because it is something to do. But guess what, taking care of ourselves is free and costs nothing and our time can be better spent. So Dave (My wonderful Husband) Found a fun web site called CHORE WARS and it is like a world of warcraft tracking system or you can make a game out of something.

So this challenge is going to be tracked with a team on Chore Wars! So far Dave and I are the only one's that have leveled up but we have invited everyone we know on Facebook in our Game Group to join and compete in the challenge.

This is going to be fun. I love entering in what I have done and LEVELING up. What a concept instead of cooking food in a virtual cafe and maintaining a town that ALWAYS seems to fall apart I am walking on my treadmill *also a gift from my wonderful husband* and doing Yoga!

Walking my dog is fun too.... SO JOIN US WON'T YOU!!!

Join the group, join us in the challenge. Do something good for yourself.... Not just to level but to feel better.

We Found a Free Web Page to Track the Game COOL BEANS

So my wonderful husband has noted that I have not been using the Treadmill that often because I am spending all my time on FACEBOOK playing Cafe World and Farmville and Towner and Bejewled Blitz. This is what I do in my downtime from work and school.

But I admit that I have not been two diligent in using my treadmill. So guess what! Dayvee is making a game out of it. I am going to level up and unlock rewards for using my treadmill.

So if my facebook games start slacking it is because I am in FULL competition mode with my husband on our challenge.

I would love some feedback from anyone on this blog.


So here is the Challenge (updated):

Rather then try to keep track of all the leveling ourselves, my husband found a website called ChoreWars. The website was designed to make doing household chores into an RPG style game. But you can use it to make a game out of tracking anything, so we're setting it up to track exercise, and give XP and gold for completing everything from walking the dog to using the treadmill. It will keep track of leveling and loot for us, as well as throwing in random monster encounters to add a bit of fun and adventure.

This is an experiment of using the power of games in everyday life. Anyone whose ever got addicted to facebook games, or obsessed over their Xbox achievements or PS3 trophies knows how powerful a simple game like this can become. Even when all you get for winning is a warm fuzzy feeling and bragging rites.

Day One the Challenge and the Terms

Now I know a lot of my Facebook friends are Gamer's and are on their games just as much. So I ask Starting April 1st Do you want to join this challenge of the Walking for a minute equals 1 point?

If you are up for the challenge, comment on the blog. I will start writing in this daily instead of playing the games on my farm and on my cafe... The doors may be shut for a while.


You can make this game however you want.... Once we reach level 14 we will get super powers, so you will get a boost in points if you take a vitamin, or choose a healthy meal over a not so healthy meal, have WATER instead of soda.

This is not meant to be drastic, it meant to motivate you to LEVEL UP in your health and be ahead of everyone else in the Challenge.

Just like we want the best FARM, FISHTANK, CAFE or TOWN or PET we also want the best HEALTH we can get. So who is up for it? Who will join me in this challenge?
