The quest to get thinner, stronger, faster, and healthier with WPCentral and Mobile Nations continues!
We’ve survived the first week. We’ve set our goals and whether we achieved them or are still working on them, we’re feeling better and doing better because of it. And we’re getting tons of great feedback. This might just be the year where mobile and lifestyle fully come together and finally start making the impact we’ve all been waiting for. It’s gone from being a token arm band case to being an entire ecosystem of highly specialized companion apps and accessories.
We recorded a special edition of ZEN and TECH with CrackBerry.com’ Kevin Michaluk, where we answered a lot of questions, cleared up some big misconceptions, and went over a lot of dos and don’ts to get things going. Also Kevin produced the single greatest (or most terrifying) fitness video in the history of YouTube. Watch his Sexy and you know it workout (do so at your own risk).
So let’s keep it going! Once again, we’re setting reasonable, attainable goals, and we’re going to take advantage of our awesome community to make sure we attain them. We have a special edition of our Mobile Nations ZEN and TECH Superfunctional podcast coming your way this weekend to help keep you motivated, and as always we’re running everything through this discussion over at the WPCentral Forums to keep us focused, keep us accountable, and keep us keeping on! We've already updated the discussion with week 2 goals.
Oh, and we’re still giving away WPCentral Accessory Store gift certificates every week and an Xbox 360 w/Kinect at the end of the month. To see who won this week's gift certificate, just go to this post in the Fitness Month discussion. If you didn't win this week, don't give up. We'll draw another gift certificate next week.
So hurry up and jump into our Fitness Month discussion and pick your goal for week 2.

I became a Halo war journalist in ArmA 3
Halo is often characterized by its supersoldier-focused perspectives with characters like Master Chief and Spartan Locke. But what's it like to be a regular human on 26th-century battlefields? I signed myself up for a "war journalist" roleplay session in Halo-themed Arma 3 to find out.
