Summer’s over, it was great, Thanks for the Memories

Hate to say it but it’s true. Freezing my balls off come night time as well as in the morning already makes me yearn for the days of summer. And to think that snowstorms, shovelling and block heaters are around the corner makes this Poker Player quite the unhappy person.

With the summer festivities freshly behind us, I’m already looking forward to picking up the slack in the physical activity department. Mainly kicking it up a notch at the gym. I’ve been lifting weights for 5 years. Fairly serious stuff, at least 4 times a week on average. I pretty much got into it when I graduated university and I never looked back. It’s quite simply the best medicine out there: gives you tons of energy, keeps you stress free and clears up your mind like nothing else can.

When summer rolls around, I usually mellow out a bit on the lifting. Really hard to find the motivation go there after a gruelling day of work and temperatures in the mid 30's (Celsius obviously). I tend to skip a day here and there, dick around with the cardio, forego a few exercises. I usually also abstain from using protein supplements during the good season. It’s just such a drag to carry all that in your stomach in the super warm weather.

All good things must come to an end they say, as I’ve been gearing myself up to go back at it pretty hard starting tonight. I really went overboard with the junk food lately; I pretty much ate some kind of restaurant crap food every single damn day last week. I am blessed with good genetics in the sense that I can get away with eating tons of crap without it really affecting my weight (I seriously believe that I could go on the ‘Supersize me’ diet and end up 20 pounds heavier unlike my dad or my brother who gain weight by simply WATCHING a McDonald’s commercial).

Cardio, weights, protein shakes, can’t wait!

On the gambooling front, Poker went well for the weekend and I also completed my first casino bonus (Finished with a grand total of 212$ at Starluck casino (100$ deposit + 100$ bonus + 12$ profit)) and I’m already a 1 /4 through Planetluck casino WR’S (down 30$ but who cares really). I’m hoping to finish that one this week and hit another before the weekend. I’m also gonna make an effort to play a few tournaments. I’m also working my way through a 250$ reload bonus on Pokerroom (plowing through these things are a bitch) so I’ll grind down as much out of it as I can and see where that gets me.
