So how well have I done with my 2008 resolutions

20/01/2008 by ramps.

Diet and Fitness:

I have done pretty well so far as I have managed too lose 9lb.   I have been speed walking to walk and back.  I managed to set a record of 21 minutes which no doubt I will break at some stage.  Must be a little careful as I am caring quite a weight and must keep balanced to not over strain back, knee and most importantly my ankle ligaments.  At todays weight I was 13st 4 with a BMI of 28.1.   The plan is get down to 11st.  So a long way to go but remember back in October 2007 I peaked at a whopping 15st.  So I have done pretty well.   This week has been really hard on this front.

Learning a new language:

I have totally failed on this one and have not managed to allocate anytime to this task.  I will address this next week.

Working on my racing database suie of programs:

I have done really well on this front.   I will be launching my club at some stage in the next few weeks.  I have most things in place now to support this.

Trading:

I have contined on from where I left off in December.   I had another good day yesterday netting a profit of £967.22.  This took me past the 9k mark for January and past the 20k mark for the past 2 months.   I am not going to get complacement though.  I could have done better and I could have done a lot worst.   I working on my techniques and mental stregth.   It will be ineresting to see how the next 2 weeks go initially after all the bad weather.

I have a long way to go to prove I can really make this work.  I know most people would be happy with a 20k profit from gambling in one year.  The fact that I have achieved this in under 2 months is exceptional but can I continue at this rate.  If I can will no doubt put me in a very different life balance position.   I am keen to maintain my full time job as I love the people interactity.  Albeit I do think that maybe I should spread my wings away from a straight technical role.  I do feel that presenting and  leadership are my best qualities.   I have found this lately as I have been presenting my ideas for the new club and have received great feedback.  In fact I am often asked why I don’t change jobs?  Food for thought.

The Wilkinson system continues to be the jewel in my crown.  Turning £10 into just shy of £9000 in the space of 4 months.   Impressive, you bet ya.   I am now using the system with football, tennis and snooker and it is proving to be equally sucessful.

Profit for the day: £967.22.
Profit for the month: £9009.48
