Inspired to Blog random
I'm not one that chooses to blog with any regularity of with even the basic outline for creating a general flow of ideas- the times i choose to post are often bizarre and totally random.
Poker - I have gone in to incognito playing on a new site with new SN via a choice that I wanted a new anonymity while I play the game. the choice was one that was for several reasons. free bonus cash as I do not play enough volume to maximize value from a single poker site. I do have some fear of collusion w/ online gaming- I do not value playing rush poker for a good BB's per hour return. and in fact has lead to a deterioration in my game. playing too many hands, poor decisions, and just magnifying my leaks. ill come back to rush when i improve my game, But for now I am going to slow things down again. 8 tables - for about 700 hands an hour. if that where 3 - 4 rush is about 1000+.
Plus the table selection comes back in to play and allows a little bit of bum hunting that I so enjoy- lol
no one has ever provided to me a reasonable explanation of why Bum hunting is bad that could significantly decrease my Bottom line. bum hunting = good EV
Motivation- everyone can benefit from Proper motivational tools. I have used this for weight loss and it is very effective. my simple idea was keep the time line short and reward yourself with things that are going to give back a positive insto gratification when you complete the current challenge.
With weight loss the motivation was simple - Super Premium sushi restaurant with my fiancee for every successful week. looking forward to that dinner out was well worth the 8 dollars a day I burned for the meal i looked forward too.
So how shall i reward myself to play poker online? and what should be the unit of measure for playing? FPPs don't apply- I'm not a SNE junkie ;-) all mighty dollar seems to me the best measure.
Bought HM and it is far and away better and more stable then the pirate PT3 i was using.
TV shows - not very interested in TV like I use to be. reality shows are a turn off. found always sunny in PA- very funny show. but it's just insane

the insperation I need hits home in real world
i had a realization today- and I have to say it has had more of a profound effect on me then most anything to date. A friend through barriatric surg support group had a stroke about a month ago. we found about it recently at group as she was back to join us. she has had the VGS and has lost an amazing 100 pounds so far. her journey is meaning full to me in so many ways because she is older then me but at the present moments she is about a hundred pounds lighter then me right now.
the doctors said that this was a minor stroke. but when her doctor shared with her that if she did not have the sugary a year ago. This stroke surely would have ended her life! there is no doubt in my my mind that this warning to my support friend is a warning for me. If i do not choose to make this change in my life I may not have the chance to make it in 5 years! I am not healthy, and the choices that I make do have a serious impact on what my future may be.
I pledge to walk or exercises as much as I can and get stronger and add more exercises to my life.
i will not eat meals bigger then 550 cals in one sitting EVER!
I will order my food/prepare my food to make my journey as easy as possible
use the tools i have! nutrition guides, distractions, tricks, meal planning, water
I know that my time here on earth is in my hands. medical science can only help us so much before it is in our hands how we live and survive.

20 Things I Love About Losing 70 Pounds
Things that I feel and have begun to feel about my wieght loss - I read this post and decided to repost as it has hit me hard and made me feel energized about losing this wieght! I am not at the point that this person was, but I am trully looking forward to all of these feelings for myself.
1. Trying on clothes. I actually like the way I look in them.
2. All the selection of clothes available since I no longer have to shop in the women's department.
3. Climbing up stairs with the groceries without getting out of breath or having to haul myself up with the hand rail.
4. Being able to get off the floor without having to grab onto furniture.
5. Fitting into seats! This is a biggie. Airplane seats, theater seats, restaurant chairs with arms.
6. Being able to cross and uncross my legs comfortably and easily.
7. Not bumping into things in the shower when I turn around. Or in restaurants when I have to scoot between tables.
8. Being able to wear a skirt without my thighs chafing.
9. Being able to hold notes longer -- much improved breath quality (I sing in a community choir.)
10. Being able to hike with my family and keep up.
11. Getting improved cholesterol and triglycerides numbers from my medical checkup.
12. How much better I sleep. (I no longer snore.)
13. No more heartburn.
14. Being able to cut my own toenails.
15. Being able to tie my shoes without getting out of breath.
16. Being able to "hop up" out of bed or a chair rather than having to plan in advance how to haul myself up.
17. Feeling so much healthier, stronger, happier.
18. How proud my family is of what I have accomplished.
19. Feeling about ten years younger.
20. Having people rave about how I look!
What about you? Which of these are YOUR favorites that you've achieved or looking forward to achieving? Any other things you especially love or are looking forward to?
