Impossible List - 15 October

How far I've come over the course of the last month in regards to the impossible list of goals I've set for myself.

Professional

Still focused fully on getting fit and writing my book. Just slogging through these days.

Health / Fitness

Still going strong with minimal amount of headaches so it looks like Pizotifen is the answer. I guess it will be a lifetime drug then. I'm starting to rack these things up.

So marathon attempted and marathon achieved. My body feels wrecked, but not broken. I'll get better within the week and be stronger for it. I'm happy to have achieved it.

My aim is to end this year pretty far down on the weight scale and higher up on the fitness scale in preparation to climb a big mountain in 2025. So far that hasn't been working, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of it. I'm counting calories now, so hopefully that will help.

Personal Skills

I've finished re-writing my book and and started up looking at editing it chapter by chapter. I've completely re-arranged the whole book to read better, so I'm slowly workign through and making changes to make it all hang together. I'm current at chapter 3, but we'll see where we end up for he year. I go back and forth between wanting to moth ball if for a few months and wanting to get through the whole book by the end of the year. Hoepfully I get through and have a decent draft put together and then I'll moth ball it next year.

Flickr has 732 photos in it still.

Travel / Events

Copenhagen is booked, i'll have more details in December.

Volunteering / Charity

So in the end I was the only suitable candidate for the Chair of Tayside Re-Users. I got the position by default. I guess we'll have to dig in and see what we can make of the place.

Education / Languages

I've continued with my DuoLingo work. Hopefully in the next 12 months I can get through and complete Russian. I might be good at that point to jump back into a Russian class. I'll look again at this come next year.

Financial

Just working hard in my role as React Tech Lead and trying to sort out my shop and put everything into a good status.
