So, day 2. Woke up this morning a little late today which threw my schedule off a bit.

One of my non poker related goals is to shed about 25 pounds or just under 2 stone. I'm currently around 200 pounds and want to get down to 175 over the next 3 months. So, every day, I'm planning to be up about 9/10am and get down to the gym before I start my grind. I got there a bit late today and only ended up doing 4k. My plan atm is to do 2 days of cardio, then leg/back day and then upper body then a break day although I don't know how effective that will be! Also getting food cooked before I start so I can eat good and not end up living on takeaways and microwave meals.

So yeah, grinding now, will keep you all updated :)

Yeah I'll be playing the schedule I posted at the top, or something similar every day. Whereabouts in Greece would you recommend for a beach holiday? Thinking probably one of the islands nearby.

So today has been pretty horrible so far, no deep runs or decent cashes. Hoping to pull a few out the bag by the end of it :)

5th for just over $100. Lost a big flip with 88<KQ. Might've been a fold, not sure tbh. Currently stuck dead on $200 after 2 days. Back bright and early tomorrow. Night folks :)

Two final tables in two days is a good sign, I'm sure you will win one in the coming weeks. You have also motivated me to grind more too, might see you at a final table !! :)

Was gonna take the day off and play 2 big sessions over the weekend but I found out that the English Defence League (racist organisation) are marching through Sheffield tomorrow so I'll be joining a number of people, hopefully considerably more than the EDL have, and standing to oppose them trying to benefit of the death of soldier Lee Rigby a few weeks back. I would urge anyone else who is anywhere near Sheffield tomorrow to do the same.

Anyway, so my session is starting a little later than usual but I will hopefully be able to put in some solid volume by playing a few more later tournaments. Here's hoping for a better day than yesterday!

So, no big runs today and we down $450 for the summer so far.

Also, weighed myself today. Going to be doing this every Friday morning and will update. The aim is to hit 175 lbs. Weighed in today at 203.
