First real test
Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 2:06 pm
Last night a friend had a poker tournament at his place and I was invited. Whenever he has these things there is tons of food, all kinds of snacks etc.
I love poker and almost never turn down a chance to play but immediately I thought about the temptation of all that food. But I reasoned with myself that if I was going to be successful with this, it would silly not to go just because I would be tempted.
So I went and amazingly I was not even tempted to snack, well maybe a little as the meatballs in sauce looked very good. But it really wasn't bad at all to pass it up and all I had all night was a couple of bottles of H2O.
And I came in 2nd in the tourney and won $380. And when I jumped on the scale this morning I was down a pound.
It was a good good night all around.
