Recently I've been eating way healthier, still not as healthy as I should, but probably better than most people. I used to eat too much cheese, chips, chocolate and fast food. I used to cook a special meal every day, so used a lot of butter, cream and parmesan cheese, I love carbs too, so ate way more than I should back then, I also used to drink 1-2 beers or sometimes wine while cooking (which was almost every day, so those carbs add up a lot). Now that I'm broke I can't afford to cook fancy food every day, so my diet got way better, cooking very simple stuff every day, but healthy, like meat with rice, beans, some salad (sometimes), I should eat more fruit, I rarely eat those.
In the last 5 years I've exercised a lot on average, but during some 3 months of last year I've exercised only 3 times a week, lost the rhythm. But now that I'm trying to focus more, I'm exercising way more, probably 10 times/week (yeah, some days I exercise twice so I can play more). My routine is still unstable, some days I wake up at 2 AM, some days 10 AM, I need to have a more solid routine so I can focus more and make smaller changes, be more predictable and change stuff that need to be changed in my routine, test what works and what doesn't.

try and push 5k more hands for the next month , and try to up that winrate to 5bbs at least
dont mix 3 stakes imo, strategies are different given rake differences , focus on getting out of 25nl , by mixing 25/50 , then 50/100
AA pretty easy xb in this spot wp, A8hh might wanna review that one , potentially losing ev on 2 streets
just cant stop the routine , and who knows.. after the first 12k hands you switched your strategy , meaning you putting in the work , def wanna have a negative redline at these stakes

Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I should definitely increase the volume, I believe I can double that if I focus really hard. I really enjoy playing less tables and focusing more on playing better, making some extra in small spots, also I hate to get into downswings, so I don't like playing zoom because winrates there are low.
I believe it's fine to mix 3 stakes if the table in the lowest stake is insane, so much EV in good nl25 tables, sometimes I'm with 3 fish in there, it's possible to make more per hour than on a meh table at nl100, so gotta get that extra EV. I don't think strategies change that much, in theory sure, but in practice it's ok to play the same strat, there isn't much difference from nl25 and nl50 (and I believe nl100 too, it has been a year that I've played there on stars, don't think it changed much).
on A8hh I've checked again because villain was checking back too many strong hands, so I've decided to check a lot so I don't bet into a range that is stronger than theory so I don't give too much EV to him.
