7 Days without my Xbox 360 a week without video games  Well it’s been a week since my original post about giving up my Xbox 360 for 30 days. And for you awesome souls here is my 1 week update after not playing my Xbox for 1 week, note I didn’t say video games. The first day was simply spent putting the Xbox away and declaring to my gaming friends I was going to spend some time away from the Video gaming lifestyle.  So started pretty easy, but then I noticed I was spending up to an hour a day playing games on my smart phone, so I quit my Xbox 360 gaming but only to shift more of my time on to my smart phone playing the flash games on there. Smart phone game addiction, the problem with these games is your always trying to aim for the next perk or the next achievement. I was playing a temple runner game long in to the night my hands aching and my eyes tired and sore. I was playing the game over and over trying to beat my previous score. Here is a tip check how long...

Cutting down on Facebook time  How to decrease time spent viewing Facebook I think I have the compulsion to check Facebook every 20 minutes, I put up a post on the wall then check over and over to see if there is any comments or likes, I check almost once an hour to see if I’ve missed anything, I check the online part to see who I can chat with over and over all day long. When I am not at my computer I check it on my phone, I wake up first thing in the morning and check Facebook to see if anything has been posted overnight, or I check the Facebook and see if I missed anything or any comments on previous posts that I found amusing. Why do I check this so much? I would say off all the time I spend looking at Facebook I could condense the whole lot in to 1 look at the end of the day or 1 look at the start of the day, the continuousness update and news feed to other peoples life I don’t really need to check it that much So I’m not quitting Facebook but I am going to c...

Reasons for me to give up the games for a while, Help me stop looking at screens Distress Have some games in real life Why I am even bothered about the achievements on this game Real life action Save time Save energy Unhook myself from the drug of the game Back to the reality and not the game Less computer game dreams, dreaming about being on raid Get some sunlight Save some space in my place Grow up Or not!!!!! woo Stop being pissed off when I get killed Stop killing stuff, I have done far too many head shots, and used shotguns and run people over Do something else Blog more, read more write, think more. Get off my bum bum Learn something Im not an assassin, im not a warlock, I am not a rally driver,  I don’t know how to use a plasma rifle I don’t live in a post apocalyptic , zombie filled  wasteland. I have no use for gems or gamer points I have a skin for my avatar I don’t need a 12 year old in the Usa to sing to me on X...

A month without video games So after many years of playing games, playing Warcraft on PC and battlefield and many other games, also still having a back log of games to play through, being 28 now , I've decided when is it time to stop playing video games. I can think of a few times when i have been sat alone in my room playing games unhappy, when there was other opportunity's to have.  I stayed in and played the video games, i spent some days of my holidays playing borderlands all day long, I've since sold that game so all that time to level up and beat the game and now i dont even have that game. What have i really achieved. So after another weekend of playing around while other life goals go unchecked, I've put the Xbox and games away. Having a month away from the video games, its a start see how i feel after that and if anything else productive takes the space, for all i know a month without computer games mite be an even worse use of my time. I work on a ...

Think i've been trying to cram in too much working out in too little time , not having enough time between the sets to be able to make the next set as positive as possible and also doing too many reps within the set. New practice is to do high sets with low reps and have a good about of time to recover between sets. Blog i've enjoyed reading http://www.2buildmusclefast.com/p/compound-exercises-to-build-muscle-fast.html http://uk.askmen.com/sports/bodybuilding/bodybuilding12.html also eating smaller and more often , found that if i have a large meal i will feel sleepy for a good few hours after this, so going small enough to keep me topped up with fresh fuel and not too much to keep me weighed down. Lots more casual movement as well ie walking and slow pace cardio. http://www.2buildmusclefast.com/p/muscle-building-routines-muscle.html
