Day 1

Within a year I plan to lose 55 more pounds. I have lost 8 pounds in the last month. To lose the first 8 pounds, I have eaten salads incessently--but boy am I a master salad-maker now! In this blog, I will work to post daily how I am doing and what I am doing to lose the weight.

We all know that weight loss is diet and exercise. The consistency of this is my issue. I constantly fight the battles of not eating candy, cakes, rolls, etc. In the last month, Ihave learned to enjoy many more fresh vegetables and fruits! That's a plus. I'm learning to put these into warm dishes for wintertime as I live where it gets cold--mid-Illinois.

Along with this, I am learning to become a master poker player. This was just for fun and now I wish to turn it into a consistent profit. Thus as I lose pounds, I hope to win more and more at poker! I have read several books and am somewhat stuck on pot odds. In slow motion, I can figure pot odds. Doing it on the fly with my outs figured in is my problem. I need to get better at this. I read where one hour a day devoted to any subject will make you an expert in a year. We'll see if this is true.

Anyone who has help for me is welcome to comment. Anyone wanting help themselves is equally welcome to comment! Join me on the year-long adventure where I lose pounds and gain poker skills for a profit. Hopefully if you wish, you can do the same!
