Working Hard (1/19/2013)

I haven’t had any sort of a life since 2013 started.  I’ve just been playing, shifting my schedule, studying, and working out.  Yes very boring I know.  These four things have consumed most of my time.  I’ve shifted to an earlier schedule for the first time since becoming pro.  This has been a massive adjustment for me, but I’m feeling better overall.

I’m starting to string together a decent run at mid-stakes, but I don’t feel satisfied at all.  I’m on a long mission and I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me.  I really don’t plan on having any sort of life until my bankroll is very close to where it was before I took a 'shot' in China.  I know this way of thinking isn’t really healthy or logical, but I just can’t justify having much of a social life until I string together some decent months.  Not after what I've been through, not with this kind of chip on my shoulder.

I’ve logged around 100 hours for January so far.  Hoping to stay focused and close the month strong.
