Hello RIO!

Those of you with long memories might remember that I started a blog around 7/8 months ago trying to get from NL10 to NL100 by the end of the year. The blog kind of tailed off after a few weeks, mirroring my commitment to getting better.

I am a lazy person.

It sucks because I don't want to be but I'm too lazy to do anything about it.

I've been thinking about this a lot recently and I've decided it's time to get off my arse and actually put some effort into going out and getting the things that I want rather than sitting around and hoping that they will magically come to me. The two main areas of improvement that I'm focusing on at the moment are my poker game and my weight loss. I'm currently a losing/breakeven player at NL25 (probably more losing than breakeven) and I'm overweight by quite a way for my height.

I will post two graphs below, one for my whole NL25z results and the graph that inspired me to start holding myself accountable for what I want which is my current graph for this month (losing around 10 buyins!)

The thing is that I knew before I checked my results that I would be losing; I've been in some cooler/bad beat spots relatively often, but I didn't think I would be losing by this much. This month I feel like I have been playing well for the most part and that the strategy I have is the best I've ever gotten it to but I check my results and I'm getting pounded.

I still feel confident and I still feel like I'm one of the better regs at my stake (I'm sure every reg feels like this though so it probably doesn't count for much) so my plan is to grind out volume while trying to play as good as I can. That's all any of us can do right?

My weight is something that's gotten out of hand over the past couple of years and needs to be reined back in. My starting weight is 115kg (18st 1lb) and my height is around 6ft. Not sure what weight I want to get down to yet but I want to get to a point where I'm feeling healthier and looking better, I'll be posting these goals along with my poker goals.

I'll be posting goals for each week and month below starting April 14th, I'll post weekly/monthly graphs as well cause everyone likes to look at graphs. I'll probably post every now and again in between those with thoughts on how I'm playing, ranting if I'm tilting and bitching and moaning if I'm running bad! :D
