1) Play minimum 4k hands, probably .5/1 6max (I'm extremely busy this semester, so this is tough)

2) Play at least one more casino bonus. Try to break -2.5 SD run that I've been on for the last few bonuses.

3) Build new computer.

4) Continue to work out 6 days/wk.

5) Lose 12 lbs more scale weight.

6) Enjoy Thanksgiving break with my family.

1) I should be on pace, but I haven't checked to be sure. I jumped back into 2/4 full (I had 5k break-even hands there a few months ago, but I quit playing for a couple of months.) I took $1200 of my BR and set it aside for the 2/4 game, ran extremely well, and switched to 3/6 at $1800. I planned to take a 50BB shot at 3/6 (not counting bonus) and right now I'm down about 30BB. I feel like I'm playing a bit too tight, but I'm getting more comfortable. Hopefully I don't have to drop back to 2/4, but if I do, it won't be for too long.

2) Done. One bonus only so far, but I was within half of a bet of dead on EV.

3) Done! Got it put together Friday, spent hours trying to get the hard drive formatted correctly before figuring out it was bad. Loaded windows on the other drive while I send the Raptor back, so I am on the new machine now. Athlon X2 3800+, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, WD Raptor 74GB, Maxtor 300GB, 1GB ram, Antec Sonata II case, NEC DVD burner, cheap Asus video card.

4) I missed 2 workouts when I went to my parents' house this weekend. Otherwise, I'm still going strong on this goal.

5) 7lbs so far this month. This one will be close, especially with Thanksgiving.

6) Not yet!

I didn't list any reading goals due to limited free time this month, but I've started to reread SSH. I also have HPFAP and the King Yao book on their way. Hopefully I can read both, plus reread TOP, during the Christmas break.
