I'm thinking about doing some online gaming, what are the best sorts of online games to join which don't cost a fortune and which aren't too difficult to pick up? Might be a distraction for me
I know this was a few pages back but I dont log on often haha. Depends what kinda games you like, are you talking like browser based games, or actual games like world of warcraft.
I am personally back to playing a game called eve online, I've had an account for 10 years and just come back to it after 2-3 years of not playing, the learning curve is a lot easier compared to what it once was, but its still challenging. But fun - if you like spaceships, explosions, mining, trading, exploring the universe etc

I just impulse-bought a Total Gym, but the price is like 65% off what it would usually be. I've never seen home gym equipment at such a good price. I know people who've had it and recommend it as a starter machine. I can't wait for it to get here!
I went to the gym the other day and did 51 minutes of hard cardio with interval sprints and it felt great. I've got to work the muscles too, though. This way both my girls can work out too. They are both interested in getting fitter, and they've said that they want to work out with me.
I'm making big changes: First the shorter hair, newly blonde, next up the physique. I've already lost 55 pounds just by watching my diet - next up is to actually look better, all toned. People at work have been commenting on how good I look this week, but just think in another 4 months where I'll be! I'm motivated.
cool, personally, I dont use a gym, you can do the same workouts at home with a little imagination and cheap equipment - a pullup bar, some dumbells/kettlebell, ab wheel, skipping rope, running shoes.
Don't train to look good, most people who train to look good, stop because they are constantly looking at themselves, train for functional fitness, this way, you'll be more likely not to stop training as you'll want to maintain that functionality, train to be able to do different advanced fitness techniques - example, pushups, yeah you can do pushups, but wouldn't it be cool to be able to do one handed ones, then move onto other techniques. squats - pistol squats, leg raises - dragon flags, pullups - one handed pullups/front or back levers etc
On another note, there is no such thing as looking toned, your muscles have a tonal range, so from your relaxed state to your tense state is your tone, you dont "look" toned, you can look defined

Why do food companies even have secret ingredients and secret recipes? I don't care who else makes what you make, if I don't want to buy something from a certain company, then guess what? I won't be buying it.
simple, if I make something and dont tell you whats in it, I have the monopoly on that product, if noone else can figure out whats in it, noone else can make knockoff copies of it. You have the monopoly, you make the money, you dictate the prices
