So I watched this year's E3 Expo on Twitch and while Sony's PS4 came out on top of Xbox One in regards to their presentation the one thing that I took from E3 was The Division. In short this game has everyone I want in a shooter MMO. The survival elements from DayZ without the zombies, Tom Clancy 3rd person shooter gameplay style (which has always been my favorite), and a good blend of PvE and PvP content. This game is already getting praise from the E3 show but a lot of gamers are wondering if there will be a PC release? Traditionally all Tom Clancy games have been made for PC but would this be the first because of the next gen consoles? Guess we will have to wait and find out more. But in the mean time enjoy the gameplay reveal trailer we all got to see at E3. Enjoy!

Gotta First Timer Here...Take 2
Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by. Blogs and links to my vlogs from YouTube will be hosted here for now on vice on Facebook. This will range from dance fitness news to my impressions, reviews, and gameplay of PC online games with much more along the way. Here is an intro blog into both worlds I am involved in.
Who would have thought from my sandbox martial arts days that I would turn into a dance fitness instructor for Zumba® Fitness...not a lot but since joining the family I am loving every moment of it. As I said before I started out as a Taekwondo Instructor in Indiana Yokosuka , Japan Misawa , Japan Indiana
As much as I enjoy teaching aerobic dance fitness classes I am also a PC gamer at heart. Having my gaming date back to the 80s with Atari games like Joust up to recent online games such as Guild Wars 2 you can say I've been around the block. I recently shifted to playing PC online games as today's market for single player games has changed with the rise of downloadable content or DLC. So instead of paying $60 of a single player game and then later paying $10 or more for DLC for that single player game I might as well play a sub based, free to play (F2P), or buy to play (B2P) MMO and have a community to hang out with. Gameplay and community are a big part to online gaming since they are the two biggest things you will be doing in these kinds of games. It’s the reason why online games like World of Warcraft remains the most popular MMORPG because the gameplay is easy to learn and has a big community.
So before this turns into a chapter to a long book thanks for stopping by and my posts are on the way on what’s going on in this crazy world of dance fitness and gaming I am hooked in.

MixZ Guide to Eating 5 Times a Day for Good Health
Diet plan wise (when I can) I do the whole 5 portions a day routines. Here is how I usually do it.
Note: I am in no way a nutritionist but this is what has been working for me to go from 205 lbs to my current weight of 155 lbs and all in this note is based off my personal experience.
Naturally this is a ballpark guess on the calorie intake as it mosty depends on your workout routine and how often you do it. For example; myself I am around 2200 calories per day as I work out everyday for at least 2 hours with Zumba or Martial Arts training except Sunday which I treat as a cheat day (I will never let go of Beef Curry or Ramen). Make sure your portions are small/medium as you will be eating more often then your typical person of 3 times a day.
Drink as much water as you can throughout the day. I usually drink 2 bottles of water by lunch time then 2 more until dinner. This does not include the water I am drinking with the meals or post workout. I do have a Sprite Zero with my lunch and dinner but mostly to keep my sweet tooth under control. Lastly try to ignore alcohol all together during your weight loss phase as most drinks are very high in calorie and will usually mess up your plan. If you must one drink should be alright but less or none at all is better.
Try and aim for your workout to be followed by Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. This will help burn the food as recovery fuel as your body's metabolism is at its full strength for about a hour after your work out. Also lessens the chance that any food you take in after a work out to get stored as fat.
This type of eating habits helps get your metabolism rolling again like how it was when we were growing up. Reason for the 3 hours lapse between meals that is the typical time it takes for your body's metabolism to burn down the food but will also stop after that. So once you eat again after the time your body tells its to start up again so your metabolism is always running. Since the snack is smaller than the meal it will now burn off the snack and also the past meal it could not finish.
On a final note the reason behind not eating after 7/8pm is that you want to try and aim to sleep for 8 hours at the end of the day. While you are sleeping you will still continue to lose weight while your body is in sleep mode. Some people I have heard have a snack right before bed to help reboot their metabolism before bed but that is pretty much a trial and error if it works for you. For me not so much as I am pretty good food wise after 7pm.
Good luck and I will be updating this as I go or leave feedback of your experience.

- Within a hour of waking up have breakfast (300-500 calories)
- 3 hours-ish later snack time (100-200 calories)
- 3 hours-ish later Lunch (300-500 calories)
- 3 hours-ish later snack time (100-200 calories)
- 3 hours-ish later Dinner (300-500) calories
