I like the meatball sub the best but I feel like I'm being scammed since I then don't go for any salad as it'd get soggy and gross but they're factoring the cost into my sub price. White people have it tough.

to be honest though if you're having shitty processed meat why not go all the way? i have a soft spot for italian BMT, if they're doing that as the sub of the day i'm a pretty happy camper. | |

FWIW, marksdailyapple is pretty good. I don't follow it, but a lot of my twitter people do and link stuff constantly. Don't stress on the eating too much. Sounds like you're making better choices, so just keep doing that. Try not to get stuck in the rigidness of the 6 meals a day, macro splits and pre and post workout bullshit if you can. Some people need those rules to stay on plan, but what you eat in a day, day in day out is more important than any one meal. From what I read you need to just work on one change at a time. So focus on getting veggies, tons of them on a day to day. Keep taking the supps and everything else is minutia that falls into place. | |

Sounds like the healthy part of life is going well as is poker. Glad to hear it for sure. You'd go a long ways if you'd cut Subway out all together other than when you just have to eat out and there is not other/better options. Even if you go to a fast food joint like Wendy's or Carl's Jr and ask for a burger minus the bun. | |

I've been thinking about getting a cleaner too. A lot of my friends around here though feel the necessity to get someone that is referred to you. what do you think? | |

Awesome post M2M. Was thinking about getting a cleaner for when I move into new flat and that's made it 100% How often do you have them come round and what do they do? | |

Most of them come to your place once or twice a week to make food for a few days. Then you just reheat as needed. Doing it that way it's a lot more affordable. Our food bills will probably go up by 200-250%, but if we work for even half of the hours we save by hiring the chef, then it pays for itself. If we work for all the hours we save by not cooking/cleaning, then we make money. | |

My current cleaner was actually referred to me by my old one after contacting her to see if she knew anyone in the business since I couldn't find an applicant via classifieds that didn't come off as total riff raff (probably easier to find someone good in GTA due to having a larger pool of people to choose from). She does a solid job so far. She's been doing it for 15+ years and has her own website for contact so pretty professional. I managed to find a really good one on kijiji actually over a year ago but since it's been unsuccessful and I gave up on it fast earlier this year after getting some strange emails (example: HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM WANT TO CLEAN FOR YOU WE ARE 54 AND 51 YEARS OLD). Creepy shit. Only 100kish people in my city though. Hit or miss with the classifieds. | |

one of the ideas he brings up for maximizing your time is a personal chef. he talked specifically about ones that cook up a ton of meals for you to preheat and implies it being massively +EV so was curious if you got it from reading his book. is full of little pointers to improve efficiency at work and such | |

Yay to cleaners! I put in an inquiry to a cleaning service around here, but they never replied. Guess I'll continue in search of another one. I think that'll be a big change having a fully cleaned house every two weeks. | |

Mostly cook for myself, and eat out when traveling. There's maybe 3 places in town I frequent for food, two are thai the other is persian. American food sucks. Trying to eat clean these days, despite the thai dishes being jacked up on sodium. Meal replacement bars for when I put in long grind sessions are at the work station. Currently out of them though, and volume has been slacking... funny correlation there. They aren't really good for you but neither is starving. | |

Yeah, lots around Cornwall. U boats from WW1, WW2 ships too, it's meant to be pretty good. I've never done it though. I've only dived in warm tropical waters with lots of cool colourful fish and turtles and sharks etc to swim with. The water's so cold here that lots of people dive with dry suits and there's not a great deal of interesting marine life. That kinda kills the fun for me. | |

Increasing study time/effort is starting to pay off. Confidence is rising and knowing what ranges to play in different spots when short is on track to becoming second nature. Been super busy playing+study lately so haven't updated this in awhile. Now is a good time though since I am really stoked as I just won a satty to the €5,300 main event @ EPT Barcelona. | |

barcelona is nice. Give some money to a juggler on las ramblas, that was me once. Turned up in town with 30 euro left, juggling paid the bills until i skipped dodge and flew to the middle east where i got hooked up. Ahh, reminiscing. Kill it bro. Play a-game and run good. |

It's been a few weeks now and the chef we chose has come 3 times to cook meals for us so far. Right now we're still cooking a bit to supplement the meals she makes because she only make 3 different things each times she comes (usually 8 meals of each) and I don't like to eat the same thing every day. We're building up a variety in the freezer, though, so we should be good in another couple weeks I think. | |

Courtie - that chef scene sounds sweet! Though holy $10-20 a meal is pretty pricey! So how much is this costing you a month? | |

I'm not sure yet because we are only eating the pre made meals a few times a week so far. Our food costs almost doubled last month, though. If I had to guess, we'll probably be paying ~$1.5k per month for the pre made meals (there's two of us) and then maybe $500 for the times we make our own food or eat out. I usually make breakfast, though, so those numbers are for two pre made meals per day, five days per week. And they're just estimates, so who knows what it'll actually end up being. | |

Just caught up, great stuff M2, glad to see you doing well as always. Keep it up with the fitness/nutrition lifestyle, only positive things come out of that. Just know that you can "cheat," it is not the end of the world. Someone who I enjoy following is a natural bodybuilder, BioLayne (Layne Norton). He has his PhD in Nutritional Sciences and lifts an absurd amount of weight. He also preaches being able to incorporate "unhealthy" foods into your diet so you can live a normal life and not feel terrible about yourself when you have a cheat meal. Guy is very knowledgeable and 1/4 of the things he says leaves me clueless as I have no actual education in nutritional sciences. He has free information all over the internet, his website is www.biolayne.com | |

Back in canada. Sao paulo is an amazing city. I have fallen in love with South America. I met a girl from argentina there who works as an illustrator and we toured around the city after I busted the tournament. Met a few people from different countries and right off the bat was able to really appreciate their culture. it's not the same as Canada, and I like it more actually. Now I need to be held accountable for learning spanish so I can travel throughout argentina, chile, peru and so on. There's a good chance I'll look into moving there for a few months to grind and travel once I become fluent in the language in 1-2 years. I'll post my thoughts and experiences in my official blog shortly. Life is too short to stay in one place when your life circumstances allow you to move around freely (my 2c). | |

I always look forward to your FTR Blog updates. You seem to lead an interesting life. This is coming from an ex-microdonk American. For the hell of it, what are these hold'em resources that you speak of? Also, never say (my 2c). Apparently, you and others use the term to be inoffensive, but it's actually redundant. Obviously, if you say something, it's your opinion. | |

My buddy has moved to Sao Paulo. He loves it. People are just happier and nicer, women are hot and love our exotic pale skin, weather is great, cost of living is lower than here and I imagine Canada. He's never been happier. Got a job with vice magazine out there and just had a kid with his Brazilian girl. I'm quite jealous. | |
