I am a Compulsive Gambler and former professional poker player online since I lost all my teeth to bad mental health. Gamble free since 2017. A few months later found bitcoin, then I purchased some satoshi in 2018. Did a 180, got rid of everthing from the gambling days. Now using linux, skincare, niche fragrances, wet shaving, better fitting clothes, carnivore, metal genre \m/ and running. Bitcoin saved my life and I'm Bitcoin only.
On top of that.
Accepted job offer.
Background check first, then contracts.
Shouldn't be a problem.
Finally, back into work.
New town too, excited.
Everything all falling together all at once.
My life gets a new start.
And paid off the bill for the Dentures - thanks to Bitcoin
On Tuesday I was back at the dentist.
I saw the actual dentures, and they were put in my mouth.
First time in over 15 years, I smiled with teeth showing.
However couldn't talk properly due to the dentures roof being wax.
Just to test.
They will go back to the lab to complete and finish the dentures with my unique mould.
Back in three weeks to finally pick with the actual and final dentures.
Brought a tear to my eyes.
The end of a long long road to redemption.
Away in a different city for a day.
Just ordered and vanquished at a restaurant;
6 Oysters
8oz sirloin steak
8oz burger cheese bacon
Salt + pepper to taste
Water to drink.
Left alone the sides.
.........
At home, eating 500g ground beef 6 eggs scrambled in the ground beef, ground beef organ seasoning to taste. Electrolyte water to drink, with hot cup of bone broth after.
Satisfying.
My latest dentist appointment on the road to full dentures was yesterday.
Had the roof of the dentures, but wax in place of teeth.
Did a few adjustments.
Sending back my cast and the wax bit.
Next appointment full dentures will be ready, but still in adjustment stage.
Coming to the end, full circle.
Over the last three weeks I've had stomach issues due to eating carbs and sugar. Affected me on my runs.
Decided after all this on the eve of changing to Carnivore, that I will now switch to Strict Carnivore.
Big weekend, away playing poker all weekend.
Taking electrolytes and bone broth powder with me. Forgot my beef biltong snacks, in a rush this mornings.
Taking my full running gear + vest with me.
Not skipping my two long runs of the week.
Mapped out the two routes, pan flat to get the kilometres in.
Jumping from 15km trail race into 46km trail race 4 weeks difference.
I ran 48km two weeks ago, so I'm almost ready for it.
Sundays long run will be 20km - longest I've ran.
Will build up to 30-35km for a like ng run, and the weekly total will be around 60km.
The 46km race is end of September.
15 weeks to go.
Been in training for 5 weeks already.
For all my talking, I don't do it or finish it.
Just purchased a ticket for 46km trail race.
No going back now.
My running progress so far.
Week 0: 15km - half a week
Week 1: 30km
Week 2: 38km
Week 3: 48km
Week 4: 37km - down week
Upto date.
Aiming for 45km to 50km to run this week.
7km ran today to get me started.
Snagged 3 doughnuts, sugary, but needed a snack
Plate is bare, since I just ordered rib eye steak.
They flavoured the steak, that's fair.
Just what I needed.
Hmm.
Normally always after breakfast, I have dinner 7-8 hours later on carnivore.
But, only had breakfast 5.5 hours earlier.
So having dinner now.
Guess I'm missing my bone broth drink to fill me up.
Found another restaurant to serve me beef steak - yay.
Just five yards ahead


Ah here, lashing down with rain
15km trail race in august, then 46km trail race in September
My normal rest day is Monday and Friday.
I'll have a run on Friday.
So I don't miss training
Today is my normal morning run and evening strength workout.
I'll do the run in the morning, then the strength workout Sunday evening.
Just having a rest today since i travelled to a main city.
Ah. Had round steak and eggs with bone broth for breakfast.
Now having striplion steak and eggs for dinner and water
Not tempted by a cocktail or beer.


Will order beef protein bars, since they only have beef salt and pepper, pure perfect,
Keeping to carnivore.
I need them for snacking, and my running.
Since I'll have some long distance races to come.
Looks like my life changing Dentures have been delayed.
Dentist has an illness.
That's okay, not in a hurry.
Patience is what I work on .
