Todays UFC Update in Brief




Had a little workout in the end today but i made sure i kept off my knee as its a bit sore after last night so i failed one of my workouts but i rather that then hurt my knee any more but he is a quick overview in pictures on how well i performed today .... But as  you can see i did not too bad overall today another few calories burned and with the 7 mile walk i did and 20 mins of zumba i am on fire today off to go and eat some Blueberries now .....

UFC Update and midnight walk piccys



Please check out the Trailer above to see what its all about 




Well like i promised it was slow start for me playing this game and working out as i have been very busy with kids and work but once i got going i found it very easy to get to grips with and it has great easy controls and settings, you start the game like many others by adding you details like  your age, weight, and sex. Once this has been done you start a fitness test which i can describe as intense but it really shows where you are at with your fitness and it pushes you to you limits that is for sure example of the fitness test are seeing how many sit ups as you can for one minute, and then do the same for push-ups and then jumping hacks. After all that you are ask to check your heart rate which the kinect explains how to do that very well ...... I was placed at beginner but i am fine with that and i like to work up also .......... Another plus is that using the Kinect its all voice activated so you can talk your way through the menu screen which is great ...

The  different activities you can carry out are Workouts, Activities, Programs, Quick Workout, Multi-player Games, and Player Tracker which i check quite often lol ...... Once you are selected workout you get a choice of selecting different trainers based on there abilities so there work outs are similar but differ a little in order and what they focus first, each have a around 20 different workouts can get alot harder  after a while .... they last around 15- 20 mins (which is enough for me lol )  as even for a intermediate level you will be sweating and puffing in no time lol .......




well that is enough about the game for the moment i will feature more on it later ..... i might miss my training today as after my midnight walk and Zumba last night i am quite tired today only having around fours hours sleep as i had to get up for the kids today but here are some piccys of the the midnight walk and please dont forget to sponsor me here please you still can ........


And if you want to find out more about my MCV UFC challenge you can keep up to date and read about it here and catch up with all the other details on MCV Website too and see who else is in the running as well .....

Here we go again!!!

Well i still need a washing machine and i have my heart set on the Samsung Eco Bubble as it has so many thing i need to save my washing life as you all know i still have loads of washing to do ....... and if Samsung ever need me to review one i am here .......  but the real reason i am here today is to explain that i also need a cooker so here i am trying to win one from Appliances online now i wanted to blog about the reason why i have entered and why i have chosen the product i want to win .......


The Zanussi ZCG662GNC Cooker comes in a sleek black colour.
The cooker is a lot larger than what i currently have so with all my cake baking and cooking for my family of five it would be great to get a lot more done. This model also comes with some great safety features, the flame safety device senses when the flame has been extinguished and automatically cuts off the gas supply preventing a dangerous gas leak. And my favourite part is,  The child safety lock will prevent any little  hands from opening the oven and risking burning themselves which is a godsend for any parent if you ask me.


 So this is what it can do now here are the reason i need a new cooker as you can see from my photos my cooker well has seen its days , the cooker came with the house and i have no idea how old its is and i would love to be able to get a new cooker for my new kitchen .... as i wont be having a electric this time and am having a gas fitted into my kitchen one because i prefer to cook with gas and two the kids can see the hot flame so they no not to touch as with mine here you can see its hard to see if the cooker is on or not ..... plus with the Zanussi cooker it has a hob safety glass that can be but over the hobs to protect any thing from being but over the hot areas ...... once again a great safety feature for family's like mine

 So you can see here the the hobs are right in reach of any hands and is not very safe at all for children ..........
And here you can see the oven is on but you have no way of telling that it is switched on so if any one puts anything on top of the oven hot plates they could be in for a nasty shock ...... not like i leave this unattended but you never know it only takes a second for something to go wrong and with the Zanussi you would have peace of mind with the hot plate cover and a child lock too

But remember like always you can enter too but make sure you watch the video first as this will help you get every step right and good luck .....  you can enter by clicking this link here .....
