Eleven Down One To Go

It is hard to believe that 2014 is now only 31 days away with a lot of things planned for 2013 not yet even started but that just means more to do next year I guess. November served as a mixed month with me becoming unemployed midway through which gave me more free time to do things but also meant I have no real income for the near future.

Fitness wise, due to not doing the daily six miles for work, my stats haven't gone up much but one major mention has to be reaching my goal of 1000mi on Runkeeper with a month to spare while also showing just how much more walking I have done this year when compared to 2012 where at this point I had only done 700mi so a 300mi increase year-on-year is a massive accolade.

The other side of the fitness was seeing myself go to my lowest weight of the year at 89kg which hopefully will not go up with me not working so some fitness regimes are needed to make it go further down while preventing any increase.

The Xbox achievement chase has stepped up massively with the launch of the Xbox One on the 22nd leading to a brilliant final week of the month with 74 unlocks for 1050G. The month as a whole saw 128 achievements for 3624 TA and 1835G.

  Sports-wise, Skelmersdale have had a decent month which still sees them top of the NPL but Chorley in second have played three games less. Washington have gone backwards with three consecutive losses meaning play-off hopes would need a miracle to bear fruit. Liverpool still sit second in the PL with despite only winning 1/3 after losing against Arsenal, they beat Fulham only to finish the month with a draw in the Derby.  

Even though the domestic RL season was long finished, it was nice to see the RLWC show off so much talent and even though England missed out on the final, I was glad that Australia came out on top after the heartbreak that New Zealand gave England in the final seconds of the semi final but also to mention that I have completed my goal of renewing my seasonal seat for 2014 even though cost has prevented me from going to the WCC in February.

After hitting my tweeting goal last month, I was happy to hit another social media based goal with the 12500th view on my Blogger services with a current total of just under 600 posts.

Overall a pretty good month on all fronts with leaving my job a mixed issue with the Xbox One a nice positive as was meeting someone new but 30 days left of the year and a lot of things planned that will not get done so the best thing for December is to cut my losses on this year and focus on plans for the next one.
