Using peer pressure to your benefit

Announcing something I've been playing with over the past few nights: Fitlog

The reasoning behind the site is in the first post to it, and I'm also fulfilling a promise to try out WordPress, especially the "custom fields" option, which I'm using to track my daily weight, time ridden or run, and distance ridden or run. Since it's all in a database, I'm also using PHP/SWF Charts to plot a live graph of my data over time (eventually I'll graph all the new fields, once I start running and riding more).

So far it's fun and a great motivation to get out and exercise each day, and my hope is that I succeed in front of everyone's watchful gaze instead of failing miserably, which of course, is always a possibility.
