Time to muscle up

Waffles sense of urgency in the weight loss department has spurred my interest in losing the some lbs. Obviously he is doing this because his wife wants to leave and he needs to be in shape in order to have any chance at even a middle aged hottie.

I've been riding the bike, working out at the gym a little, but I realized, having spent the better part of last month in a Casino, that watching not just what you eat, but how much of it is paramount to any success in health. Not just losing weight either, but general health over all.

I need to make a ton of changes. Stopping the chewing tobacco, quitting the late night meals, actually eating breakfast, and no more eating 4 dinners because the kids didn't finish their plate.

So, I was speaking to a few people about this during some down time while covering the tournament series. It was really unbelievable to me the amount of folks who are on this seemingly endless journey. Everyone seems to be really hunkering down and moving on their plans to become healthier.

So speaking to a few of those people, and some others while I'm here at the Borgata, I got some advice. In the end - What I found was a really cool site that offered the products I thought would fit me perfectly and my lifestyle, as it is today. That is being on the go, 57 kids, playing poker, etc, etc.

This site right here offered me some very cool products and information to help me along my journey. Not only do they have the products, but you get help. Coaching is available, and all sorts of things not only for losing weight, but general health benefits overall.

I know Kelly. She's a server here at the Borgata and told me about this stuff. She's very knowledgeable and is going to work with me. When it comes to stuff like this, sheer will power isn't enough. I need a plan, nomenclature, and a coach to plug me along. With these products, and her help, we'll see what can happen. I predict huge success.

BORGATA SUMMER OPEN MAIN EVENT

Today is the $3k Main event for the Borgata summer open. They got 415 registrants and play is under way.

Some real silly things happening so far, but the field is thick with pros and should be a very good tournament.

Kickin' it Old School

Last night we were looking up old youtube vids of Michael Jackson. As well as the rest of the computing world, I guess. But in my travels along those searches I ran into some PHAT old school raps.

BODOG MINI SERIES

Bodog is again making good for the poker bloggers out there with the Bodog 2009 Mini Series, starting Friday, July 3rd. Be sure to keep up with the action and full details over at Smokkee's site. His latest post offers more details, but I'll go ahead and give you the mini scoop...


The top 9 leader board finishers receive:

• 1st place: A 2010 WSOP Main Event seat and a 2010 Team Bodog membership (valued at $12,000).
• 2nd and 3rd place: A Bodog Poker Open IV Prize Package (or a buy-in to all BPOIV events to be hosted in the fall of 2009).
• 4th and 5th place: A Bodog Flight Club Semifinal seat (valued at $270).
• 6th thru 9th place: A seat to a Sunday $100,000 Guaranteed Tournament (valued at $109).

I'm hoping to play all of the 13 qualifying events and, if things go well, the semifinal and final as well. I hope you'll join me along the way. With 13 events over 13 days and a total of 15 events over 21 days, it is sure to be a crazy time. Of course you don't have to play them all, but the more you play, the better chance for pay!

Also, If you are looking for action above and beyond the Mini Series, don't forget about the 2009 WSOP Main Event props and odds available at the Bodog Sportsbook.

So there you have it. Again, be sure to visit Smokkee early and often if you have any questions or comments regarding the series.

That is all
