The drought is over!!!

Thank goodness the drought is over!! For the pass three months I have been on a win less streak at the poker table. My last win can on January 6Th. And it not that i have been playing bad because I came close many times. But I was not able to seal the deal. But all that change on April 5Th at Dave and Buster at Opry Mills. It was during the 1st game there that I found my self heads up at the final table. And as we when heads up I was only down 5 to 1 in chips. But with all the great coaching I have had over the years came though. And with that I was able to pull win number 48 with the American Rounders out of the bag. Now I hope that win 49 will not take so long.

January

As the new year started . I begin my 2Th round of weight loss. Back in October I used the same weight lost protocol that Trisha had used in 07 to lose 65 pounds. And I able to loose lost 24 pounds. So this time Trisha set a goal of 20 pounds for me. And after 47 days once again I was able to reach my goal. This time it was lot harder to loose the weight. I stayed at 255 for over a week. But Trisha would not let me give up. And with time the last 5 pounds did come off. So now I'm at 250 pounds and you can not believe how good I feel. I saw my doctor in March. And I have been on blood pressure medicine for 5 years. And when they took my blood pressure this time it was too LOW. ( What a blessing) So now I'm able to work out and walk with out the pain that I have had in the past. So now as I close I must say Thank You to again to Trisha. Trisha even my doctor tells me how lucky I am to have you as a friend. And I am truly blessed that you are in my life.

Win 46

Back on December 30Th. I won my 46Th tournament with American Rounders. That win came at Legends bar and grill.

December

As we move forward the big news for December was my trip to the Las Veges Rock and Roll Marathon and 1/2 Marathon. And no I was not the one participating in the 1/2 marathon. I flew out to show my support for Trisha. Trisha has been doing 1/2 marathons for years. And in 2008 she completed in her first full marathon. And I felt bad for her because nobody was there to cheer her on. So when she completed in the Nashville 1/2 marathon back in 2009 I when down to the finish line so I could cheer her on. Well I had on ideal how big a deal this was to a marathoner.So with that I decided in June that I would fly out to Veges and surprise her. Now I will not bore you by telling you the whole story about how I pull this trip off. But if ever see me and would like to know just ask. ( It a great story) And to say this was a great trip would be a understatement. When I go Veges I stay that The Imperial Palace. Once again they took great care of me. And it dose not hurt that I won a $125 pot playing poker. And I got to see The Blue Man Group. That was my first time to see a Las Veges show. And Trisha was she ever surprise to see me there. She told me that she could not believe that some one would do that for her. As I wright this down,I can not wait to get back to Veges.

November

As we move into November that means it time for Room At The Inn. Room at the Inn is a homeless program that help the homeless get off the street.From Nov. to the end Mar. my church Grace baptist church will host 12 men or woman each Monday.We will give a warm place to sleep for the night.We feed them a hot dinner and breakfast.They can shower up for the night.And when they leave they will have lunch for the next day.This is my 6Th year with the program.Go to http://www.roomattheinn.org/ to learn more.And now back to the fun stuff (poker).On Nov 9Th Trisha Pena won a tournament at Dave and Busters in Opry Mills.( I think that was win #38) And for me on Nov. 7Th I won my 1Th tournament with the Last Call Poker League.So all in all November was a good month for all.

October

October was a big month for me.Because I made changes that would have long term effects on my life.But before I get in the heavy stuff I will talk about poker.On October 14Th I won my 46Th Am.Rounders tournament.And that gives me 49 tournament over all.And now to the big stuff.Back in 1992 I when to work as a over the road truck driver.And as the years when pass I gain about 50 pounds to come in at 294#.And after my stroke in 05 I have tyred many times to loose the pounds.I even when to the YMCA for year with nothing.And after seeing my Dr. in September I knew I had to do something.So once again I turn to my beloved friend and poker coach Trisha Pena.For those who do not know about Trisha I call her my poker coach but she much more than that.Over the last few years I have had a lot of heart break but Trisha is the glue that has held me together over this time.Trisha back in o7 started a life style change.And with this protocol and hard work Trisha lost over 65 pounds.So with that on October 9Th I started the same protocol.Trisha had set a goal for me of 24 pounds,which would bring me down to 270#. And after 47 days of hard work and lots of support from Trisha I reach my goal of 270#.I will tell you it was not easy but it was worth it. And when I saw the Dr. in December he was so happy with me.And has I close this post I must say Thank You to Trisha.Trisha I give thanks to God everday that he put you in my life.I hope you know how much I Love You.Trey
