Results week 1

As promised, I am going to spend my Monday posts discussing my results. Week one, a short (only 4 days) week, but certainly lots to be happy about.

For example, bottom line, my goal is to make money, not to feel good about myself. I MADE MONEY. I need $296 a week to make my nut for the year. I made $523, for a cushion of $127. I like being a gold star player, and need 4,000 points a month for that to happen, or about 135 points a day. I made 736 points for the 4 days, giving me a cushion of nearly 200 points. My ROI was a whopping 24%, and well above my goal of 10%. I cashed out $600, I cashed out 5,000 points and earned a $50.00 bonus. In all ways that I am measuring, it was a great week of poker.

As to weight...Well, I think I misspoke when I started my weight at 223, every time I weighed in, I was at 225. I ended the week (thanks largely to the steak on Saturday night), I ended at 224. So, technically I did not lose any weight from my starting point of 223, but I was lower than my high for the week. Technically, I did not achieve an advancement towards my goal, but weight is very tough to measure in only 4 days. I was able to get moving a bit and we have lots to build on.

OK...there is my bench mark, and my first week is in...one down, fifty-one to go
