New Year Resolutions: What and why?

[Dominic]

1. Stop breaking hearts.

2. Do more than drive by my gym and wave.

3. Actually stick to a poker study schedule and become good enough to make Durr cry and go BUSTO.

1) Lose some weight, start running again.

2) 35k hands/month, 400k hands for the year, the majority NL1K+. Should be very possible as I'm a part-timer from the new year..... Yeah baby onefootineachdooraments!!!

3) Start playing the big sunday tourneys most weeks. Play the WSOP ME.

4) Buy a house.

Sleep better: I have slightly chaotic sleep cycle at the moment, down to probably too much poker a little too late, so always seem to get less than I need.

db, I've read that getting plenty of sleep is really important when you're trying to lose weight. Not sure what the explanation for it is but for some reason sleep relates to weight loss. Just another reason why you should get to bed earlier!

it seems, at least in my experience, that the more hours you spend awake, you get hungry late at night and end up eating things that are bad for you, like a sandwich or something, and then it just sticks with you when you go to sleep (i.e. you don't go to the gym and burn any of it off)

5- take my vitamins everyday.
6- find new friends. i lost all of them over past year.
7- find a girl.

Too much sleep is unhealthy as well.

I remember reading a reference to a study that showed that if someone slept more than 8 hours a day, they were much more likely to be obese. Same with skipping with breakfast.

Of course, you can find a study to support almost anything regarding fitness and health.

My resolutions:
1. Start playing seriously again.
2. Try my best to read four hours a day.
3. Write a little bit everyday, if only for thirty minutes.

1)Get a job
No school/no job=no good

I'm poor yo
3)Have healthier realtionships
Most of my relationships are incredibly unhealthy
4)Take up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Muay Thai and generally be
healthier

4. go to another country
5. get closer to my sisters, niece, and mom
6. spend as much time with my friends from college as i can

1. Play 100k hands every month this year. I plan on dragging my bankroll up to 6 figures somehow, all by 12 tabling 1-2 nl full ring. That's right folks, I'm a sicko.

+Write More

If I died tomorrow, my biggest regret would be not pursuing making a living as a writer.

+Play less poker

poker is interfering with my other interests. To some extent this is OK, because I like poker, but I have other interests that I would like to pursue.

+Play poker within budget / bankroll

For me this means no more $10 rebuys until I have a bigger bankroll... instead 4/8 hold em, $3-20 sitNgoes and $4-20 MTTs.

+Get more exercise and make better use of my exercise time

My schedule makes it difficult to get exercise. I need to use the time I have more wisely.
