Total weight loss = 18.2 lbs.
i need to get to 181 by next friday. I'm sure i can do it. That's just what my goal was for phase II. Phase 3 will be another 10 lbs. I haven't exactly following my diet to a T the last week but i've still lost weight because i've been working out and eating pretty solidly. Well i've followed my date pretty much except for going out and drinking last saturday and then eating a 1 bad meal on Sunday night. But i'm feeling good. I'm shedding weight at a great rate. (what's the literary term for rhyming a bunch of words in the same sentence) And my Fitness is coming along nicely...
I went on a 4 mile run today. I'm not going to lie and say it wasn't hard. That sum' bitch was hard. I only walked a couple times and that was only when i had to stop for traffic anyway. But I got through it. My confidence will keep building. I have to run another 4 miler next Wednesday.
Time- 37.30
Kind of slow but i'm happy with it. Goal for next 4 miler under 37.
Job interview tomorrow. Let's hope it goes well.

185.2
That is no typo. I'm achieving all of my goals in stride. I've lost a little over 5 lbs in the first week of phase II. And overall the weightloss has become a whopping 16 lbs. It's been great. I've been having more energy. I've been running with greater ease. Also there seems to be no forseeable derailment of my progress. I've got my eyes on the prize.
I said i've been achieving all of my goals...well that is not altogehter true. I haven't been playing much poker. Haven't been in the mood i guess. I shouldn't force myself to play...but i think the shift is more due to a couple days worth of poor results. If I just log the hands the results will come. I know this.
A new job oppurtunity has sort of emerged. I've been offered help in getting a job with state farm insurance. Probably not as an agent...but maybe with statefarm corporate. We'll see how this progresses.

190.0
Should be just a day now. And I'll be under 190 for the first time since probably 2005. It's a great feeling. Everything is going great right now. Except for, of course, I am still in quincy and there really isn't a whole lot of prospects for me moving.
Ran 3 miles today. Probably around 9.20 pace. It kinda sucked. It was hard and I was forced to stop and walk a couple times. I guess I got through it though. Going to try a 4 miler on wednesday. I hope I feel better than i did today. After the first few blocks today I felt miserable.
My diet is going good. Haven't veered off course too often and when i have it's been very minor setbacks. I haven't crashed into the ditch.
Poker is coming along nicely. Up around 59 dollars online for last week and won another 94 live. So up 153 for the last week. Solid week.
" I turn to you, I turn into and then I turn it again.."

191.4
That's right biatch. You better step it up, Jason. That's 9.8 lbs down and I still have another day of detox to go. So it looks like barring a meltdown involving thickburgers that I will acheive my goal of losing the 10 lbs during detox. My next goal is to lose another 10 lbs during phase II, the foundation. This phase is 3 weeks long so I should be able to pull it off. But I am going to be consuming more calories so it is going to be difficult to lose the poundage.
I ran 2.5 miles on monday and 3.5 miles yesterday. The running is coming alone. It is still quite slow, but I'm making progress. It is also very physically draining. I have to delve deep into the perserverance reserve to finish the longer ones. Hopefully it gets easier soon.
Poker is going well. I'm up another 53 dollars already this week. I've started my move up to .50/1.00 Limit. I think i'm running fairly well but I am also cutting down on a lot my mistakes. I'm starting a challenge as soon as i make the move to .50/1.00 completely. Against A-Dub. We're going to see who can have the highest comparative winrate over the next month. If I reach the low end of my goals i should make 600 dollars during the month. I think that is very attainable. With the high end being around a thousand.
"K-smooovv, show us where a beat's at..."

194
Just 5 short days ago i was 201.2. And this morning i weighed 194 even. I'm in the middle days of a 9 day stretch known as detox. It is the first phase of a 4 phase process called the fat smash diet. I tried it once before and got through the first phase losing 10 lbs in 9 days before I bailed and lost all the weight. I'm on the verge of being under 190 once again. I haven't been under that weight in quite some time. At least a year and more likely 2 years. It is feeling good, but i still have quite a bit of work ahead of me.
Fitness-I feel like my fitness is improving. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough strength to run for more than a couple of a miles. But I think that is starting to change and will definitely change soon when I move into phase two of my diet- the foundation.
Ran 2.5 today, with a short walk break at 2.1, on the treadmill. Starting a training plan for a 5k on august 31st. Gotta be able to run 4 miles before then though. I'm going to try 3.5 on Wednesday.
Poker- I'm starting to realize my poker potential. I'm not sure there is greatness here. And I'm not sure that I want there to be. Because that would be really hard to maximize that potential. But I know there is a solid understanding of fundamental poker and I know that poker is becoming a lucrative second income to me and I think eventually it could become a second salary. This past week I won almost 50 dollars playing very small stakes limit hold 'em. That doesn't sound like much(and definitely isn't in the scheme of things) , but I played only around 10 hours last week at a very small stake(.25/.50). I am a consistent winner in this game with a fairly small sample size(8000) hands. My bankroll is building slowly. It is only at $242 right now but i expect it to be in the neighborhood of $500 in the 3 or 4 weeks.
Life- I'm still logging hours at mr. bills. Making probably 20 grand a year or something. A move has to be inevitable. I suppose living in quincy isn't so bad. But I need to leave mr. bills sometime. I can't be doing this for an extended time any longer.
