Summer mood and Team Online Freeroll

Hello!

June is already over and I have a guilty confession to make. I didn't work much last month. I seriously underestimated how burnt I was feeling after the SCOOP. But I'm not blaming the SCOOP alone for that, it is mostly poor planning on my behalf.

Summer mode: ON

Normally André and I plan our summer vacations for June. It's halfway through the year, it's right after the big SCOOP grind, prices for travelling are better since it's not the peak of the high season, it's just overall a better option. Apart from feeling tired and needing a vacation in June, the truth is that we prefer to be at home in July because a lot of André's close relatives celebrate their birthdays that month. And since August is just before the WCOOP, we prefer to be working and polishing our poker skills then.

This year however, we received two wedding invitations that are taking place in Greece in July. Since the two events are two weeks apart, it was sort of mandatory for us to plan our summer vacations in between. That meant that we would have to be working in June this year. "Oh well", I thought, "No biggie!".

Unfortunately it turned out to be a biggie cause neither of us felt like working in June. Personally, I didn't really grind the hypers and mostly played MTTs on Sundays. I also spent a bit of time studying and fixing spreadsheets, but I wasn't overzealous about it. 

Since I was taking time for myself, I also went to a nutritionist. From the beginning of the year and on my eating habits have not been very good and it just seemed to be getting from bad to worse. The nutritionist confirmed what I already feared: I'm the fattest I've ever been. Don't get this the wrong way, I'm not saying I'm fat but I am closing in on the top side of what is considered normal, healthy weight for me. Eating burgers and other sorts of junk food tends to do that to you. Throw in the complete lack of exercise and you get the picture.

So I went back to eating healthy and working out. It's too soon to have any visible results yet, but after two weeks I already feel better and I have more energy. I'm actually feeling so good that I'm wondering why I messed up my healthy lifestyle in the first place.

Back to poker, I want to optimize everything so that I can go straight back to work when we come back from Greece. I've been working on my multitabling skills among others, so lately I've been playing small stakes hypers to make sure that I always get more action than what I need. If you want to play with me but don't play my usual stakes, this is a good chance for you! I must warn you though, I can't really type in the chat while trying to exceed my limit of multitabling the hypers.

Where I do get chitty chatty however is at the Team Online's monthly freeroll. And speaking of, I have 5 tickets to giveaway for July's freeroll! Staying in the eating healthy subject of this post, for a chance to win a ticket to the freeroll I'd like you to tell me what is your favorite healthy snack! I will chose 5 winners at random as usual (one entry per person please). Do not forget to leave me your PokerStars ID along with your comment.
