September Big Month

Just a quick one. 60s going pretty well so far and I'm currently sat at 130k vpps for the year so I figure I might as well try grind out a 70k month and give myself a very good shot at 300k-400k vpps for the year. Earning 12.687 vpps and a cheeky 0.50c rakeback per game at the moment so if I can manage to breakeven (which I hope to do better than) over the 5439 games I need to play its a decent sum of money and for me would be by far the biggest month volume wise to date. I believe it's important for me to start grinding solid hours soon so that when I start my SNE run next year it isn't too much of a shock to the system. Plus, gotta start saving some dollar for Christmas presents and my PCA trip in January!

Also this next month I wanted to try out cutting any stimulants from my diet to see if I could gain any extra edge at or away from the tables. Plus I'm well aware I don't live a particularly healthy lifestyle and I'm intrigued to see the difference this might make.  I figure cutting out caffeine, alcohol and a sugar from my body completely for a month might make a drastic improvement to my energy levels, sleeping patterns, focus and general quality of life. I'm not a big alcohol drinker but I will miss caffeine that's for sure and I've heard its a pretty difficult thing to quit completely but I'm up for the challenge. I'm sure it can't be too difficult!

Last but not least, I've been messing around with cyclical ketogenic dieting recently as an alternative way of losing fat ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cyclical+ketogenic+diet ). Basically with my current routine I don't feel like I have the time to train 7 times a week, grind hard, keep a social life AND do cardio so this way of dieting seems to suit me perfectly. It's cheaper than my previous diet, I get to eat foods I genuinely enjoy and I don't suffer from that dreaded post workout meal crash. I found the last couple of months that any substantial amount of carbohydrates basically puts me out of action or makes me feel awful for an hour or two afterwards which obviously is far from ideal. Im really hoping that within 4-6 weeks of this diet I'll be ready to start putting some muscle back on after what feels like an age of trying to drop fat.

During this month I'll revert back to weekly updates to keep me motivated and just to keep anyone who is interested up to speed. One of the main reasons for this post though was to provide a pre-excuse to anybody who wants to do anything this month. I won't be drinking, I won't be eating like a normal human being and I'll be working most of my free time so unfortunately I'll be a little out of the loop till October. Anyway, after taking a few days off visiting my friend in Holland I'm really looking forward to putting in a major grind and getting stuff done this month so I'll keep you updated! Laters!

Supernova Charizard I choose you!

Better late than never! 

Finally hit supernova this week and was also moved up to the 60's so overall a pretty successful few days! 

Pretty exciting for me as I've never hit SN before and I remember the days when I used to see supernovas at my table and be genuinely impressed thinking it was a real achievement. In reality it turns out its really not THAT difficult and although its taken me 8 months to achieve it I did begin the year having just moved up to the 15s and with the final year of university still holding me back. So for me hitting SN for the first time is a real testament as too how much I have improved and learnt this year. But in reality next year I'll be shooting for this 10 times in the hope to hit supernova elite! Should be a very interesting year....

Having saved up my fpps and a couple of bonuses since January I managed to cash out $4875 in bonuses which means this has been the most profitable week to date! $4875 or £2899 is a real healthy sum and I'm inclined to indulge in a couple of treats, namely; 

132 A3 Nicholas Cage art canvas prints

295 boxes of hostess twinkies

7 life size Mr Freeze busts

3 epic Master Chief fancy dress costumes

1100 Starbucks cappuccinos (Most likely purchase)

2 Barrett .50cal replica airsoft guns

4 'Snuggles' giant plush bears

A moderate amount of hookers and cocaine

Orrrrrrr..... pay off my debts, overdraft and rent money

Unfortunately if I'm to be sensible I know what I'll be spending my money on!( Although the Nic Cage prints are of huge investment value)

I do plan on hitting SN again before Christmas so maybe then I'll have the savings to actually buy some cool things.

Think that covers my monthly shitchat so next month I'll update on how the 60's have been treating me! Pretty confident as so far they seem relatively soft as the same awful regs that load 30s also enjoy losing money at the 60s apparently :). Bye for now!
