Fitness First

Now I am in my 40's, I have had a look back on my life and realised that if I carry on like I am, I am not going to make my 50's.........Strummer on his diary recently mentioned about physical fitness affecting poker performance and he think he has a point. So it is time for drastic measures. When I hit 30, I was still competing at swimming in masters events and probably weighed in at about 11st 10. Jumping on the scales Monday am, showed a new all time high of 15st 10, the penny dropped, almost as much as me belly when I take my jeans off.

So, time for diet, time for excercise, time for a new lease of life, hopefully this will bring a new clarity of mind to enable me to sit in front of a PC for 6 hours a night muffing the fck out of any scandi that happens to foolishly get involved in a pot with the all new streamlined super Goth.

I have challenged myself to get to 13 1/2 stone by xmas, this is going to be very difficult, but hopefully I can achieve this and then set a new goal for next year. I have put a post on my forum where I will put regualar weekly updates on how I am getting on, this can be found on www.pokergoth.com, follow the links to forums and register for my forum should you wish to comment or take the piss.......

On the poker front, had a bad couple of days for bad beat, which dropped the monthly profit down by $100+ but still managed to finish the month $300 up, it did affect my confidence quite a bit and need to know work on this. On sun, I got the bonus of $200, which gave me a total profit of $5 for the month...doh....however the rakeback of $50 I got back today, jumped it up a bit. I don't think I can have a month as bad as that again, so with this months bonus and rakeback, it should prove slightly more profitable.

Sunday night should be fun as I have qualified for the Mansion 150k and a sun new starter 10k freeroll which will both be running at the same time. Make the FT of both those and I will be a very happy little fatboy.....

Cya on the tables.....
