New Life

I have spent too much of my life being passive and not going after what I wanted. I let others control me. My whole life has been this way.  I also procrastinate. Why do today what I can put off until tomorrow was the code in which I live by.  To put it simply I am lazy. 

My goals have shifted for a variety of reasons.  I cannot afford to take a passive approach to life any longer. Of the many reasons why, the major ones are I do not trust all the things I have taken for granted over the past 20 years.  Things change, and they change quickly.  In addition, where I am now has not really made me all that happy and I do not want to live my whole life wishing I had lived the life I wanted.

There are 2 areas that I am going to focus my attention.  The key to all of them is to not be lazy to take control and mostly not waste precious time.

1^st- Health and Fitness… I have been following a Keto diet for about a month and I feel 100 times better. In fact I did not know how bad I felt until I started to feel better.  I will be focusing on losing the rest of the weight and working out.  The food is the easiest for me I need to “force” myself to get to the gym and get that great feeling back.  On my 3 day weekends its easy to make the gym but after an 11 hour work day I don’t often feel like going to the gym.  Not feeling like it or being tired is not an acceptable excuse. 

2^nd – Improving my poker skills and getting to the next level and then the level above that.  Poker study is one of my biggest leaks.  I do spend time listening to audible books but this is often when doing something else at the same time.  I have a membership at Crush Live Poker and try to listen to the podcasts, I do not spend enough time watching the videos, I am not active in the forums and I rarely comment in slack…. Heck I do not read slack enough either. 

Action Plan:

Health and Fitness – the food remains the same, focus on healthy fats and virtually no carbs. The gym I need to work out 4 times a week…. This means 2 out of three days off and 2 out of 4 days worked.
