Well the bet this morning didn't work, so ended up losing 6.4% of the pot after that little diversion. However, recovered with the same strategy as the previous 5 winners and the pot is now 92% up on the initial investment.
So 6 out of 6 winning bets on this system, if we don't include the little hiccup!!! This is the problem, when the going gets good, it gets a bit boring so you start trying different things to really maximise the earnings. But not as much as when the going gets bad and you start chasing your losses!!! All the sensible rules go straight out of the window.
Got an early start tomorrow, so I will be placing bet number 7 tonight. If I can get to 10 winning bets out of 10 I will be looking good, and will have banked a bit for when I need to give a bit back.
Oh yes, that day will come, eventually )o:

Looking forwards to my huggy
Just cycled 12 miles in this very blowy and gusty day, and then ran 2 miles. Probably burned about 800 calories, so that will be good. Got rained on but it doesn't faze me anymore.
Ended up going to John Lewis in Solihull yesterday. Could not face motorway driving in the horribly wet and rainy conditions. It was a superb shopping experience, as JL always is.
It was really good running in the rain yesterday. Feeling the rain drops hitting my face and mixing with my sweat and tasting slightly salty around my lips. Quite liberating, almost like I was part of the elements.
Funny stuff - hate to drive in the rain but love to run in it. Odd must be my middle name.
My thighs are really starting to ache so I know I have done good. What I need to do now is a quick session in the gym, shower and shave and then go visiting.
Betting system - 5 out of 5 wins so pot is 83% of initial investment. Trying a slightly different slant on it today, It might work or it might go badly wrong, but I have protected most (92%) of the pot. Fingers crossed it comes off.
Kezzy is back from Gran Canaria on Tuesday. I cannot wait to see her. It seems like forever, although I do get about 25 texts a day from her.... It will be nice to have a huggy when she gets round here (o:

It's coming off!!!!
Good news I am now 11 stone 9 lbs. 1 pound under my initial target weight. Now need to drop to 11 stone 5 lbs.
Ran 7 miles today and will try and do 10 tomorrow. If I can shift another 4 lbs next week I will be very happy. My BMI is finally within the 'ideal weight' range. The first time since I started this exercise malarkey... (o:

Hoorah!!!!
Day Off!!!!
So busy though!!! Go to to go to John Lewis. Will go to the Milton Keynes one today, after driving all the way to Solihull last night only to find the John Lewis there was closed. Grr.. Grr..
Going for a run in a bit. Going to try and do 10 miles, or twice around the lake. Will be a tough one because I ache a fair old bit, but the 'dorphins should kick in after the first two miles. I am then going to Boots for a weigh in. I jumped on the scales in the medical room at work yesterday and they read 76 kg, which is 11 stone 9 lbs, but we shall see. My trousers seem a little looser so it might be right.
Weather is crap, or course... I cannot get over it. It's August for heavens sake.... Desperately need to paint a wall in my lounge, clean the house, mow the lawn, do a really big food shop, visit people, oh boy.. so much to do and so little motivation to do it )o:
I have developed and trialled a new betting system this week. One bet every day. So far I am 4 out of 4 wins. with 66% growth on the initial investment. Quite happy with that, and the good thing is, I can just whack the bet on before I go to work and come home to see what the outcome is (o: Hopefully I will get the right results today and tomorrow and I will be 100% of my investment by close of business Sunday, which is not bad going. However, level stakes are now just 10% of the pot, so moving forwards, it will take 10 days to turn the pot over, less any losses of course....
Right, need to get on and get these 10 miles under my belt. Wish me luck with the weigh-in....
Hasta la vista

Day 10 of 11
Day 10!!! One more day to go. Probably worked 110+ hours without a day's break. Every bit of me hurts. My back, my legs, my hips, my head....
I have had to have fish and chips tonight. I don't have the mental ability to cook. I just cannot do it. The very thought of having to stand there in front of the hob just freaks me out.
But the good news is, I did a 4 mile run this morning. Felt really good to get out there again. Need to run every day. Just hate it when I don't. The 'dorphins kicked in pretty quickly and I soon got on a high.
Will try and do a five miler tomorrow. But need to go to Solihull John Lewis to get a birthday pressie after work, so it will be a struggle...
Ciao 4 now

Should I stay or should I go...
These are the two thoughts in my head as I sit here and try and get the motivation to run. I am so very done in. My whole body aches from being at work doing about 10+ hours a day for an 11 day stretch. I have never known anything like it. Totally unbelievable, but so totally good. The time has flown by and I have just two more days to drag my sorry ass through and then I am off. After that, a proper shift pattern will be established and I will drop down to 39 hours a week. I am so happy at my job, thank God!!!!
What else is happening. Seem to have become addicted to my Play Station 3. Kez has gone to Gran Canaria with her Sister and niece, which is really good because it allows me to work all these hours without feeling guilty or neglectful. I could not bear to see her when I am this tired, we would just get ratty with each other. She sent me a bear and a bottle of wine as a gift. Nice touch. She also gave me Gran Turismo 5 for Play Station. She knows how to keep me out of mischief - LOL
Have not run since Monday last week. Just get in and collapse in a heap. Was going to go and see Brett tonight but just cannot face the drive!!! That is how tired I am.
Right, sod the run, I need wine and chilli - and the reruns of Little Britain on the Dave channel on Sky. I can quietly doze off watching that.

Still here
If you are wondering where I am, don't worry. I am still here but working 11 days on the run with about 10+ hours each day. Yes it is bad, but it has to be done.
Things will ease soon and I will try and get the blog back. Every spare minute is either used for sleep, playstation, or eating and drinking!!!!!
Only three more days to drag my sorry ass through...
