sweet to hear.

Sundays are the only day where there is excitement anymore. Its weird how that happens. Have some scores, and no longer really get excited for "normal" days. I used to get excited for 12 180 wins back when i first started. 594 for a win felt like so much and i would be rich in no time.

Its still a grind, but every saturday night i feel a weird sense of excitement that's hard to explain. I wonder what bax and sheets, or dip and jamers felt at their peak. so many ftops, scoop/wcoop/ftops/ftops/ftops.


Havent really had a huge bink in a while. Hopefully tomorrow is the day. just need a lil momentum leading into WCOOP.


I think betudontbet gonna have a real solid august.

Great thread... I still read a bit here & there when I have a few minutes. More interested in the health portion. Based on what you wrote; & I'm sure you know this...

***"Health" is not a weight number.*** I really really really wish someone would've told me that. Years back, I was sick & pretty much dead. Medication caused me to lose 70lbs over three-four months (after being sick). Having been overweight my whole life, I was excited by the actual number. Anyhow, no matter what I did I couldn't see myself as healthier/more fit/lean. Self image was hard to get past. At the end I was at 147 lbs & everyone thought I had become a junkie. I ate & ate & ate. Couldn't gain a pound. Was never so worried... Finally I went too far the other direction & have weight again to lose now.

Long story short. Know as long as you are doing the work, the results are there. It takes a little time to see, feel, & heal through the process. Just keep working hard. I now know that heath is a feeling. The better you feel, the better you will present to others. It's purely balance & control, work smart & you'll be where you need to be.

My other question... Did you have any of J.'s action this week. Such an incredible $215 for him. It was wonderful; as always to rail. I'm sure life is good tonight. I know you may know me from applications/threads, but of all the players I've really seen offering Sunday Action J. was/has always been my pick here on 2+2. Anyhow; I'm genuinely happy for his good fortune... Sad that I didn't place my 7% (as he didn't sell as the past two weeks), but that's how it goes. Good Luck with the health; & I look forward in following the thread.

Pretty soon I am starting the "Insanity" Workout Program... Will let you know how it goes. Hell, may be something to look into now if you have the time & commitment?

Cheers.

Hey


Yeah, i do feel better physically. would be good if some weight could come off as well (lost like 10-12 lbs so far).

Nah, jerry had all his own action (he swapped with a house mate). He is unbacked and strongly feels thats the best route for him. happy for him. he works hard and does everything the "right way".

If you are looking for quicker weight loss (depends on your caloric needs for your workout routine) drop bigger meals, eat five or six snacks throughout the day &/or add a bottle of Ensure to your routine. I was dropping like 7-9 lbs a week with average/minimal exercise. Also there is always the tuna & green bean or pea mix with peppers & onion flakes, fills you up & extra melts off. It can get bland & as I mentioned, the numbers won't always seem like a victory. If you are doing it correctly, loss itself will be slower. I'm sure you have the resources to eat right & work out. It all comes with time. I can tell you nothing is worse than being rail thin & all bones, joints, & even coughing or sitting hurts. Make sure to protect the back & knees whatever you do... I think I was lucky I got smart when I did. A "feeling" is now what I desire... (Sounds like you've found that natural tap of raw energy.) Again; Good Luck!!!

ty for the posts and the well wishes.

small update:

weight is 289. slow and steady. feel better, and people telling me i am looking a lil slimmer/less sloppy, so thats good

Horses went 1-2 in the big 109 yesterday. Been on a slight downswing but that helps some.

losing weight is stupid, you should change ur lifestyle so you live longer and age less and get less diseases in the future. short to medium term things are just stupid and wont have any effect anyways.

Food is the number one preventive medicine or cause for about every disease there is. Losing weight is just an added bonus that will happen anyways when you read up about how to live healthy, I can give more tips if you want.

big lol at 1 and 2 lol mbn

im interested in hearing some of these tips

+1

always enjoy more information about whats better to eat.

Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It and/or Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health are a decent place to start.

is there a way to do global alias for the new sharkscope?


kinda wanna bring the graphs back to the thread

Yeah, it's called 'Player Group' now. You can create a group with the tab just under the column headings, and then search for it under the 'choose poker site' tab.

GL Zima, good to hear things going well.

You can also still use old.sharkscope.com if you liked the old one better.

lol


I say i am gonna post a graph in here, and then obv we have a pretty good sunday. got a 10-18th in the WU, 7-10th in the 6m, like 10 other 10-18th in bigger things. but, had a sunday million score which was nice.


will post the graph later after all the mtts are done for the day.

the dutchie (Meca) got a point with diet correlating to like everything - lifespan, obesity, overall heath, disease, immune system, brain development, organ maintenence, circulatory system, cancer, alot of random poisoning you don't realize you're exposing yourself to (farmed salmon, tons of fish with high mercury content, milk with growth hormones, FDA approved/profit maximizing artificial foods, etc).

for easy tips: no more preservatives. no more artificial flavors. no more chemicals. read labels, if you see a bunch of **** that you don't know what it is, try to eat/drink less of it. a banana or blueberry or spinach or normal chicken basically won't have any weird soy or sodium or chemical products on the label no more empty 'filler' calories. Your food's ingredients should be food, not chemicals and artificial flavors.

red meat has alot of arguments, I'll stay out of that one.

getting a bit more extreme: no more enriched products (normal pasta, white rice, any products with white bleached flour), more veggies, more whole grains, more natural **** that comes from the ground. It can seriously be pretty tough and expensive to do in america, but remember moderation is key. Mexico is ALOT easier to stay away from horrible frozen foods and processsed junky fast food (although I bet Cabo is more USA catered than your northern Baja neighbors). I'm just starting on this little journey but basically if I have a choice that isn't going to be too tough to accomodate...then fish/chicken/veggies will be ordered before a carne asada taco....but who cares, eat some tacos sometimes if you like tacos..just try to balance a bit more. Pork is not 'the other white meat', it's red meat, sorry. Most sandwich meats are horrible and sodium filled and tons of preservatives. Turkey is fine, and I guarantee you have butchers down there that you can take a turkey to and they can make turkey sausage, slices, non-processed non-artificial "honey baked turkey" flavors, etc.

I'm sure juicing vegetables has been brought up to you a million times.

Fruits aren't vegetables, eating apples and cantalope and mangoes and strawberries all day isn't bad for you, but it's just alot of sugar. Not saying to stay away from em, as they do offer tons of vitamins and minerals, but remember it's like 2-3 servings of fruit and 6-8 servings of veggies or something per day. green leafy stuff is very bueno. I think I saw something a few months ago in here about high ANDI score veggies, obv a good thing.

Meat is not the only source of protein...you have nuts, beans, soy, greek yogurt, dairy products (also alot of debate)

Just remember you're human. If you wanna chug a liter o' cola...go for it.

disclaimer: I barely know what I'm talkin about, but just use common sense. Start slow. Balance & gradual improvement > extreme changes. Chemicals obviously add zero to minimal nutrition to your food, so stop eating and drinking them.

This is pretty solid thanks for the post. Great thread op!

later = ??

also, if i haven't said it before (been reading for some time) good luck with your health and also your stable

agree with most of it but eat as little dairy as possible, lots of good alternatives for it anyway.

You are what u eat anyway, i havent felt better then last 4 months in a pretty long time and im not even fat in any way whatsover, i'm build lucky that i dont gain fast however that gave me sick disgusting eat pattern. I just felt bad and tired too much untill i changed my eating patterns.

btw after a while all that good stuff will actually smell and taste disgusting

I couldnt get it bigger, so this will have to do. it was sunday and monday combined. feels nice to have a decent sunday again. monday was a pretty good day as well.

now, time for a super tuesday win.

ty for all your comments.

really enjoyed reading and seeing the swings of what you do from day to day. sick sick thread.

grats on the sunday scores

Hey Zima, great thread keep it going!

You said near the start of the thread that if you were to start with 10k you would start by staking SNG players rather than cash.

I'm just interested why most of your staking is of MTT players, is there just more winners looking for stakes in MTTs rather than cash or is there another reason?

Thanks a lot.

Suuuuuuuuuup WCOOP


gonna try and update this more during WCOOP, as there will prolly be some ridic swings.
