Yea maybe I'm overstating the severity of my back pain. It's more of chronic nagging/aching than debilitating although some days are pretty bad.

I almost blew it with a small leak I see from lots of regulars, but I thought I had conquered.

This drunk fish had been doing butt sex to me and I was kind of annoyed that he kept taking my stack and distributing it to the rest of the table. I flopped top 2 with KJ on KJx. Finally! I get decent action from him.

Naturally, Turn ten. River Ace.

He bets like 1/3 pot. The pot is like $200 at that point. I unhappily call. He looks at me. He says what have you got? I actually start to force him to show first, like a moron. The dealer tells him he has to show first. I snap out of it and quickly say, 2 pair, and turn my hand over. He lifts his cards so I can see them, and folds his Q5.

I would guess I win about 1 pot like this per year that I know of. I lose at least 2 or 3 where the other player just turns his hand over for the hell of it, not knowing he has me beat.

I think the majority of regular players are rules nits in these spots, which is very dumb, particularly against drunks or huge rec fish who play poker like once a year, when there are 4 or 5 to a straight or flush on board, when your 2p have been counterfeited, etc.

You folks should all be proud. Keep up the great work.

1/15/17 I weighed 319
Today I weigh 210. I've been in maintenace mode in a 6 pound range 207-213 since october.

I had surgical help (VSG), combined with low carb.

Weight is one thing. At 52 I had HBP on meds, GERD on meds (for many years), sleep apnea, and tendonis in my left achilles. Pants was 50inch

With age and weight come issues.

Now no meds. Bp avg 117/75, no GERD, no apea, no painful swollen achilles. 38 inch pants. Feel great.

Over time, settled into life, quit smoking and yo yo'd for years but with higher lows and higher highs.

Keep it up.

Goal: ski Cooper mtn next feb / mar. - and love it. (still need to get into better shape) - 2018 is for that...

No workout

Too many nigiri sushi pieces put me over in carbs

Nttiawwt

Day 39: 2/23/18: 207

Had a whole mess of sashimi and a couple pieces of sushi so again I overcarbed.

Feel like I'm spinning my wheels. Macro tracking has been good and I've been eating mostly nutrient dense food on keto.

I have to remind myself that it's a process. I'm sore from lifting legs the other day so I'm going to take 1 more day to recover before hitting the gym.

Day 40: 2/24/18: 208.4

Sushi and soy sauce had it's effect. Woke up not in ketosis but have slipped back in by EOD. Skiing tomorrow, rest/deload week is done and it's back to the program Monday.

See if this works:

amazing transformation brotha! Sick job

and with that selfie Lurshy is now a snowflake

So my goal last month was to lose 10 lbs and I managed to lose 5 lbs. It's still a win for me since the scale is moving in the right direction.

I've decided to set my goal for 10 lbs again this month. I'll have a few extra days + I'm slowly ramping up cardio and have a 4 day split lifting program now. It's 2 upper body days and 2 lower body days. All compound movements and then I have some optional isolation exercises I can do to wrap up my lift.

I'm also tweaking the diet when necessary.

3/1 Current weight: 197.2
4/1 Goal weight: 187.2

Day 45: 3/1/18: 205.3
