Updates & Valentine’s Day!

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

Sorry for the lack of blogging recently.  I was out of town for about two weeks to start the year, and there have been 3 or so house guests here at Carnegie House, too.  But I thought I’d put up a quick update on how my year is going thus far.

Poker…

Poker has been going really well so far in 2012.  (Although it’s been a tough last couple of days…ha ha.) Prior to Black Friday, I was sitting up to $2/$4 HU, although game-selecting hardcore as those were new stakes for me.  Things are a bit different now, so I play a little lower, but I feel my game advancing quickly…more than pre-Black Friday, in fact.  (I don’t really know why, but it’s strikingly evident.)  Let’s hope this new bill passes before I get my Merge money seized too.  Ha!  Anyway, good stuff on the poker front.  More updates to follow, of course.  As for coaching, for those of you who’ve contacted me about my reduced coaching rates, I’ll be starting to contact you guys within the next week or so.  If I don’t, please just email me.

Health…

My one big resolution was to start cutting out all meat except bird and fish products but try to eat as much raw food as possible.  There’s been 45 days so far this year, and I’ve cheated on 11 of them.  I don’t know if you consider that good or bad, but it’s pretty good for me.  Plus, I’m eating extremely healthily just in general.  Once I can finally ditch the beef, pork, etc. with no cheating, I’ll start eliminating the rest of the meat products and dairy.  It’s quite a process when you’re addicted to degen’ eating, though.  Still, I’m down a ton of weight from when I started this healthy transformation back in October.  Just got to keep raising the bar to get to the ultimate goal of a complete raw vegan lifestyle. :)

Valentine’s Day…

Lastly, I want to wish all the females out there a very happy Valentine’s Day today/yesterday, depending on your time zone.  My girlfriend is about 1,400 miles away working a 12-hour shift at a hospital, so my Valentine’s Day evening is going to consist of getting in the spa, which is heating now, and doing some relaxing and meditating out there.  Tranquility for the win.

Okay, that’s it for today.  Blogs to come in the near future will include more from The Unfiltered Truth About Men series, poker updates, progress on my health, and other stuff I find blog-worthy.  Hope everyone’s crushing at the tables and enjoying the new year!  Cheers, y’all.
