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 .....

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

Yes i am doing the Midnight walk tonight for St Lukes Hospice please feel free to sponsor me This year theme is Hula girls so Look out for pics later this week I am walking 7 Miles so it should be great fun and i am also doing a bit of Zumba before hand as a warm up  .....

  I Have been working out to UFC Ultimate Trainer for the 360 Xbox Kinect Part of a 30 day test to see how much fitter i can get i can tell you it has been a blast I have been eating loads of fruit and also doing loads of Zumba at my local Zumba class on a Monday ......  

Fruit ranges from nectarines, Blueberry's, Strawberry's and many more .....I have also been eating more low fat snacks like the velvet Crunch crisps too anything to help my calorie intake while i have been using the UFC trainer i will keep you more updated of more i progress later on this week and tell you more about the game but i can tell you its hard work but i ma starting to see its all starting to pay off ........ Plus i keeping think there is a holiday to be one at the end of it which is great motivation i can tell you

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 .....

Preview on the LeapPad Explorer and details of a fab Comp

Just received a email about the the new LeapPad that goes on sale on the 15th of August with a price tag of £79.99 from LeapFrogs website or From Toys r us  and is available to pre order now and available in Pink or Green. Now i know the price seems a little pricey and is it worth it I hear you say well knowing my experience with Leapfrog i have never doubted there products yet so I can assume it will be worth every penny. The LeapPad Explorer is available for ages 4 - 9 so if you have three kids like me and different ages they will find something that is suitable for there learning and if its anything like the Leapster 2 you can set different users so you can keep a eye on their progress via your PC and can monitor there progression and how they are learning through playing which has always been a major plus for me.

I hope to do a review of one of these later in the year so look out for that it all depends  on when i get my hands on this product by either winning one or buying one at Christmas and i am sure it will be on my top tips for prezzys for kids this Christmas.

But check out Appliances online facebook page now they are great and really friendly and always happy to help i recently bought a fridge and there service was truly amazing i have posted my review below please take your time to read it .....

My old Fridge decided to die the other day so i went on the look for a new one and decided on the Samsung RSA1WTMH and i went onto Appliances Online website and watch there video about the washing machine the video was very informative and really helped me decided that this was the fridge for me. The Online checkout was very easy to use and i could navigate it with ease and felt in control every step of the way. Once the purchase was complete i receive a email straight away and it informed me of my delivery day at first i was given the hours of 7am till 6pm, on the day of the delivery i was sent a text to tell me my new time would be between 7am till 11 am and i received a phone call from the drivers to say they are on the road and will be with very soon which was great. Was they arrived they took the old fridge away and helped bring in my new fridge they were very helpful. I received a follow up phone call a few days later to make sure everything was fine which was great. I would highly recommended Appliances online to everyone they were very helpful cheaper than anywhere else online and there facebook and twitter presence i have found to be very friendly and helpful soon and i am looking forward to making a future purchase in the foreseeable future keep up the good work guys
