Casino Disease

I am here at the World Series of Poker. I once again caught Casino Disease ... it seems that everytime I spend any length of time at the casinos I get this cold/.sinus problem.

Also eating well at the WSOP is very difficult ... all is not going well as far as losing weight.

News Flash

Jan said pull your shirt down ... I said it must have shrunk a little

.... I wore it all day and did not notice it was only a 1XL that Jan

uses to sleep in. It looks just like mine from Foxwoods which are

XXXL but I had it on for 12 hours and I didn't really think about it.

WOW not bad :-)

I'm Feelin' Good

Well I have been in Sin City for 5 days. I have yet to eat a meal

out, which is good for my health.

Today I woke at 8 AM had breakfast which consisted of a Nutrisystem

cold cereal, a portion of mixed fresh fruit chunks ( pineapple,

orange and green melon, strawberry, kiwi and grapes ), and a bagel.

For lunch I had black beans and rice from Nutrisystems, but I was

still hungry so I had a chicken and pasta in cacciatore sauce 130 calories ...

For dinner I had a salad and a Nutrisystems Beef Tips and Rice dinner yum yum

I feel great ...

I am losing weight very slowly it will stay off that way.

span blog

Everytime I send an email to the spanblog the lines are double spaced

within a paragraph.

I have used multiple email programs they all seem the same.

Notice I have sent this email to my fitness blog as a copy .... see

http://markhanna-transformation.blogs.blogs.wdia.com/

Here are some sample paragraphs

The Midwest Regional Poker Championships held at Caesars Indiana has

pitiful opening turnout.

Once again Harrah's proves "Harrah's can screw-up a steel ball in the

middle of a sawdust pile."

Management should be ashamed of itself. I interviewed a security

guard who told me he had been scheduled to work extra shifts because

they expected such a big turnout for their poker event. Then on

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006 management told the security guard sorry,

but he will not be needed. What a surprise ... turnout is pathetic.

They had a $1000 + $60 entry fee event on Saturday and could not even

get 90 participants. They had a $500 + $50 event on Friday and could

not get 250 participants.

What is the main problem here? In my opinion as a professional

tournament poker player is Harrah's and/or Caesar's blatant greed.

I called on Tuesday April 18th, 2006 to attempt to book rooms and

were told that it is "Thunder on the River" weekend in Louisville and

there was no block of rooms set aside for poker players and is not a

poker player room rate.

Sundays are tough

I don't know why but Sunday is always tough for eating well.

I had my apple cider vinegar, and green tea concoction and a V8 juice.

I had a breakfast bar when I got up, followed by a lunch of meatloaf,

vegies, and mashed potatoes.

For dinner I had a rather large salad and now I am hungry and about

ready to go to bed.

Going to bed on an empty stomach is so darn hard for me to do.

Chow.

My theme song for losing weight!


Hello Thanks for visiting my body transformation blog. I am creating this blog on February 22nd, 2006. I am now 50 years old and generally have been blessed with a wonderful life. I have been an entrepreneur all of my life. I have created and operated many businesses over the last 30 years. I have been blessed with generally good health, in the sense that I have not had to fight any serious diseases, however I have fought with being overweight all of my life. I have dieted and exercised before with varying degrees of success. The hardest part is making a life style change which a person can live with. I hope by documenting my trials and tribulations, I can help others to take that difficult 1st few steps in getting the health and well being they seek.
