Very Nice Day, MLYLT!

10/32: 225lbs after my shower

I had yogurt+banana, quesadilla+chips+salsa for lunch, and skipped dinner last night.

This week has been a whirlwind and the weekend is going to be worse.

I had Noosa yogurt, pack of tuna fish, scholoskys pizza, and half of a homemade pizza my daughter made last night.

Today I had some gross fried burrito thing, 2 double cheeseburgers-2buns, and one piece of pizza.

I should have prepped a lot more food this past weekend.

So much going on lately.
I interviewed for the job in Dallas, for a company I really want to work for and thought I might as well get pre-approved for a home loan if I got the job and just move straight into a house.
They haven't called back and it's been 2 weeks

I've been doing all the paperwork for that, trying to get everything done for my PE liscense, a lot of doctors appointments, and my daughter is now on a tournament softball team as well as gymnastics.

Now I'm contemplating if I should just buy a house here and stay at my job or look for other higher paying jobs in Dallas. I make less money now than I did 10 yrs ago right out of school. I don't care about money too much, but I just feel like I'm moving backwards in life in regards to finances.

I don't know if I should hold off on buying a house or moving until I know what my medical diagnosis is either.

I just don't know what to do and think I put too much on my plate at once.

Tomorrow I have to drive 1.5hrs after work round trip to take my daughter to a 2hr softball practice, drive 3hrs round trip and tournament all day Saturday, drive 2hrs to Dallas Saturday night or 3hr to Oklahoma Sunday morning to play the poker tournament. Baaah, it's going to be a long weekend. I really want to play the tournament because I won't play again until next year. I have no idea how I'm going to eat healthy and stick to my budget this weekend.

Remember, this thread is not about your job/finances/housing/poker/other things. You've previously been given plenty of advice about how to prep healthy food on a budget and with time constraint. I suggest you do some research in your older thread, or take a look at r/mealprepsunday.

11/2: 224.9
Period week so my weight should drop a couple of pounds or more the next few days.

Fast food places have salads and other options.

At Choctaw, Grand Cafe has:

Choctaw Wellness Salad
Garden Salad (you can add grilled chicken)
Thai Shrimp Salad
Grilled Chicken Wrap

Smashburger has grilled chicken sandwiches and salads

La Cantina has fajitas that you can eat without tortillas

Bamboo has stir fry and lettuce wraps

If you eat poorly, you are choosing to do so, remember that. GL in the tourney.

Thanks! How did you do last weekend?

I didn't realize smash Burger had grilled chicken sandwiches.

You know if you play cash games they give out free buffets.....mmmm their buffet is so good, but I think I'll skip it this round.

For the tournament, I just need to pack a healthy snack bag. I never have time to run all the way across the casino during breaks and end up getting the pizza.

The older women never want to shorten the dinner break to 30mins, so I'll have an hour to go grab fajitas for dinner.

For the softball tournament I'm going to pack some healthy snacks in a cooler for my daughter and myself, but I think we will probably end up at CiCis for lunch or dinner with the girls.

Tonight I'll be getting home at around 8:30, I could do tuna fish sandwiches for a quick dinner instead of going out to eat.

That was more than 50% "the right stuff", Aidan.

dreadful, per usual!

Instead of the buffet, you can also get a $10 food voucher usable at other food locations.

Smash's salads and chicken sandwiches are pretty good!

The day after Halloween, October 32nd.

Lololol

I'm on dinner break now, bout to get a grilled chicken sandwich at smash Burger.

16 left and I'll be at 20BB after the break

FOLD

7 players left.....

Exploit your tight image MLY!

I anticipated going deep so I took vacation tomorrow. This will give me time to get some meat at the grocery store and cook another recipe that Monte posted. I didn't prep lunches last week, I'll prep them this week for sure.

I wanted to hit the gym tomorrow too. I might go, but my shoulder is burning again and killing me.

Nice run! With stacks at that size, you almost surely have to go with it. Another of my friends was runner-up, was hoping y'all would end up heads up. In the future, make a counter-offer, you can often get a +EV deal, instead of just saying "no even chop." The girl with 3 big blinds was probably very motivated to make a deal.

What did you eat at the casino? Did you bring a bag of healthy snacks? I'm bringing my snack bag this weekend!

Thanks. Which one was your friend?

The older blond lady was definitely the best player at the table; the brown headed girl that won it was the worst of the final players lol...I know I could have beaten her heads up.

I had a piece of pizza at first break , and a grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries for dinner. The softball tournament went late and I had to drive to Dallas from Nachadoches on Saturday night.... didn't pack a healthy snack bag

I'll be playing in January and I'm going to be better prepared.

In regareds to being prepared....

Thurs night: gymnastics in L, home at 8:30

Fri Night: SB practice in T, then my daughter informs me her SB stuff is at her dads. I drove from T to L and then to Nachadoches to the hotel and got there at 11:30 pm.

Sat: SB all day, back home at 8:00, then Dallas at 10:00

I was just running around everywhere....


I've just now got back after driving 4.5hrs because they shut down a portion of I-20
At my sister's waiting for her to bring my daughter, so I won't be home till later tonight. I've been on the road about 13hrs this weekend, I'm so so tired.

Got home at 7 tonight. U just picked up a couple of roasted chickens at Walmart for lunches and dinners the next couple of days.

Appreciate the feedback Josie and 27

Yeah, I definitely could have gotten something healthy on the way...even the gas stations have fresh fruit :/

Fair warning previously given

Aiden!!! Well at least PM me those post. I want to read back through them before the next tournament. This is a poker forum dangit.
