Motto: All the wealth in the world worth nothing for you, if you are not healthy.
(Financial freedom wizards manual)
Weight: Between 80 to 85 kg at 1.80 m (5'9'') Aiming for 77 kg and 15% body fat on 1st of June.
Body fat: Between 14% to 24%
BMR (basic metabolic rate) = 1818 kcal
PAL (physical activity level) = 1.375
Energy requirement daily = 2499 kcal
BMI = 24.69 to 25
1. Body
- Yoga techniques (postures, breathing and meditation)
- Running - endurance and sprint
- Strength and power/stamina building exercices
2. Diet
- A 70% plant based diet (with a twist of 70% alkaline food daily), no chemicals, less to no sugar, less to no caffeine, better hydration (300 ml water every 3 hours when possible) - I achieve this 80% of the time, i would say.
- One day a week - 24 hour fasting - Most of the time. Now i am thinking at some part fasting, where i eat all the food in 8 hours interval, followed by a fasting time of 16 hours. There is some research supporting my theories.
3. Mind
- Mindfulness techniques aka meditation:
- Brain boosting supplements - For the this month i tried: Omega 3, Magnesium, Ginseng and Ginkgo biloba solution, My herbal remedies (but for the herbal treatments i did it completely only 10% of the time).
- Memory enhancement techniques
I would like to think that i achieved a great deal in all those 12 months, even if i still have work to do.
Conclusion:
Physically speaking - I need to train harder, with conditioning for joints and bones, and mobility (yoga). Ideally I need to do 3 strength training of at least 30-45 min (unless is high intensity training, which can be done faster), 2 running sessions - one speed, one endurance, and 15-30 minutes of yoga in the morning, followed by mindfulness techniques for 15-30 min.
Diet - should be all organic, vegetarian, with no sugar and caffeine, and a decent amount of water per day (no fizzy or sugary drinks). Supplements like Omega 3 and Magnesium all the time, with ginseng,ginkgo or other mind booster from time to time. 1-3 day fasting when possible.

One year health plan - month 10
Motto: All the wealth in the world worth nothing for you, if you are not healthy.
(Financial freedom wizards manual)
Weight: 80 kg (2 kg lessthan 60 days before ) at 1.80 m (5'9'') Aiming for 77 kg and 15% body fat on 1st of may.
Body fat: 14% (4% less)
BMR (basic metabolic rate) = 1818 kcal
PAL (physical activity level) = 1.375
Energy requirement daily = 2499 kcal
BMI = 24.69
So, a decrease of 500 kcal per day should be sustainable if i eat enough fruit and veg.
1. Body
- Yoga techniques (postures, breathing and meditation) once per week - done
- Running or other kind of training - 1 sessions -10%
2. Diet
- A 70% plant based diet (with a twist of 70% alkaline food daily), no chemicals, less sugar, better hydration (300 ml water every 3 hours when possible) - I achieve this 80% of the time, i would say.
- One day a week - 24 hour fasting - I did not fast in March. I did not decreased the sugary and caffeine rich foods and drinks this month more than usual.
3. Mind
- Mindfulness techniques aka meditation: 40%
- Brain boosting supplements - For the this month i tried: Omega 3, Magnesium, Ginseng and Ginkgo biloba solution, My herbal remedies (but for the herbal treatments i did it completely only 10% of the time).
Physical training -Was fine at the beginning of the month, but based on walking during the holiday, which holiday disrupted my normal routine.
Diet - Was fine, predominant vegetarian, without too much dairy and almost no eggs.
Mind - I am getting a bit unfocused lately, wasting far to much time on unessential activities. Training focus is a must.
Two months left until the end of the program, and i tested different approaches to solve the health equation. In April i aim for running seriously, building a bit of strength and clearing the emotional body. Focus training should be added too.

- A 70% plant based diet (with a twist of 70% alkaline food daily), no chemicals, less sugar, better hydration (300 ml water every 3 hours when possible) - I achieve this 80% of the time, i would say.
- One day a week - 24 hour fasting - did it 4 times in November. I was slightly decreased the sugary and caffeine rich foods and drinks this monh

Diet - Was better than November, with less caffeine and maybe slightly less sugar.
Mind - I am getting better, but one mold infested wall will somehow phase me out creating problems to my breathing and rest. Sleep was better in November.

Motto: All the wealth in the world worth nothing for you, if you are not healthy.
(Financial freedom wizards manual)
Weight: 84 kg (1.3 kg more than 30 days before - 85 kg) at 1.80 m (5'9'') Aiming for 83 kg and 22% body fat in November.
Body fat: 24% (2% more)
BMR (basic metabolic rate) = 1858 kcal
PAL (physical activity level) = 1.375
Energy requirement daily = 2554 kcal
BMI = 26
So, a decrease of 500 kcal per day should be sustainable if i eat enough fruit and veg.
1. Body
- Yoga techniques (postures, breathing and meditation) 31 sessions - 91%
- The 300 training - proven unappealing, as it was supposed to be done once per week, but i did it only once in a month - 25%
- Running - 9 sessions -112%
- Wing Chun Kung Fu minimal training- 26 sessions - 82%
2. Diet
- A 70% plant based diet (with a twist of 70% alkaline food daily), no chemicals, less sugar, better hydration (300 ml water every 3 hours when possible) - I achieve this 75% of the time, i would say.
- One day a week - 24 hour fasting - did it 5 times in October. I kind of cheated my diet at least few times, having sweets or fizzy drinks, for couple of days in a row. For November i aim for caffeine or fizzy once per week and sugary sweets twice per week only.
3. Mind
- Mindfulness techniques aka meditation: 31 times - 100%
- Memory training techniques: 93%
- Brain boosting supplements - For the first month i tried: Omega 3, Magnesium, Ginseng and Ginkgo biloba solution, Bee pollen (several times) and my herbal remedies (but for the herbal treatments i did it completely only 50% of the time).
Physical training - Running was fine, an i can even see some progress in mobility, due to the regular yoga postures. I had added The Sun Salute (Surya Namaskara) to the mix, few repetitions every day, and I am planning at least 3 medium to difficult trainings every week. I will run a bit more when possible and i will try some kind of physical conditioning this month.
Diet - Was better than September, but I ate well enough to cover my daily calories intake very often.
Mind - I am getting better, but the cold will somehow phase me out creating problems to my breathing and rest. Sleep was suboptimal at the end of the month, and i am still recovering.

One year health plan - month 4
Motto: All the wealth in the world worth nothing for you, if you are not healthy.
(Financial freedom wizards manual)
Weight: 82.7 kg (2.3 kg less than 30 days before - 85 kg) at 1.80 m (5'9'')
Body fat: 19% (3% less)
In September I got 2 different intervals. First one was in holiday, for 10 days, with only yoga sessions, swimming as exercise and language learning. Exercise has been 60% successful, yoga sessions 80%, and the language training 90%.
My second training is a complete one, on three directions of action:
1. Body
- Yoga techniques (postures, breathing and meditation) 20 sessions - 100%
- Freeletics - some kind of high intensity athletic training 4 partial sessions - strength training was not done properly this month, as i was mentally exhausted due to some external factors.
- Running - 6 sessions -100%
- Wing Chun Kung Fu minimal training- 20 sessions - 100%
- Freerunning / Parkour - one feeble try - forcing a knee tendon, took me one week to recover.
Big win: My thyroid problem was solved, at least on the paper. Officially speaking, i am fully recovered. Next on the list: immunity. In October i will try a new method of training instead of freeletics, as i am not motivated enough to do that.
2. Diet
- A 70% plant based diet (with a twist of 70% alkaline food daily), no chemicals, less sugar, better hydration (300 ml water every 3 hours when possible) - I achieve this 75% of the time, i would say.
- One day a week - 24 hour fasting - did it 2 times in September, first for 24 hours, second time for 48 hours. I kind of cheated my diet at least 5 times, having sweets or fizzy drinks, in the third week, for couple of days in a row.
3. Mind
- Mindfulness techniques aka meditation: 20 times - 100%
- Memory training techniques: stopped this month
- Brain boosting supplements - For the first month i tried: Omega 3, Magnesium, Ginseng and Ginkgo biloba solution, Bee pollen (several times) and my herbal remedies (but for the herbal treatments i did it completely only 60% of the time).
Physical training - While i was good with the running, reaching even few new records, i was not doing the strength and mobility training properly.
Diet - For the same reason, I somehow ignored my dieting plans at the end of the month, but i kept my hydration optimally every day. I would say 65% of the time i ate as planned. I did my weekly fasting, but in two occasions only for 20 hours instead of 24. I added a Chinese mix of Ginseng and Ginkgo to my supplements, Magnesium Malate and bee pollen few times.
Mind - More focus, as i was totally unfocused in two occasions, with almost catastrophic results.

One year health plan - month 3
Motto: All the wealth in the world have no worth to you, if you are not healthy.
(Financial freedom wizards manual)
Weight: 85 kg (3 kg more than 30 days before - 85 kg) at 1.80 m (5'9'')
Body fat: 22% (2% more)
Only 21 days recorded as another method was used in the period 1-10.08.2016
My training is a complete one, on three directions of action:
1. Body
- Yoga techniques (postures, breathing and meditation) 21 sessions
- Freeletics - some kind of high intensity athletic training 9 sessions
- Running - 9 sessions
- Wing Chun Kung Fu minimal training- 21 sessions
- Freerunning / Parkour - no training this month
2. Diet
- A 70% plant based diet (with a twist of 70% alkaline food daily), no chemicals, less sugar, better hydration (300 ml water every 3 hours when possible) - I achieve this 75% of the time, i would say.
- One day a week - 24 hour fasting - did it 4 times in July. I kind of cheated my diet at least 6 times, having sweets or fizzy drinks.
3. Mind
- Mindfulness techniques aka meditation: 21 times
- Memory training techniques: 21 sessions
- Brain boosting supplements - For the first month i tried: Multivitamin,Emperor Ginseng for Him 6000 mg, Ginseng and Ginkgo biloba solution, Omega 3-6-9 300 mg and my herbal remedies (but for the herbal treatments i did it completely only 75% of the time).
Physical training - While I can see improvements in yoga and wing chun, i somehow decreased the intensity of my running and freeletics towards the end of the month, because of all my extra work that needed to be done before my holiday.
Diet - For the same reason, I somehow ignored my dieting plans at the end of the month, but i kept my hydration optimally every day. I would say 65% of the time i ate as planned. I did my weekly fasting, but in two occasions only for 20 hours instead of 24. I added a Chinese mix of Ginseng and Ginkgo to my supplements, and i took out the multivitamin pills, as i did not like their taste (got sick twice because of them, so they are out at the moment). I will introduce bee pollen instead in September.
Mind - The memory techniques done by default, the meditation quality can and must be improved.
Take good care of you, my friends
George.

One year health plan - Month 2 report
Motto: All the wealth in the world have no worth to you, if you are not healthy.
(Financial freedom wizards manual)
Weight: 83 kg (3 kg more than 30 days before - 85 kg) at 1.80 m (5'9'')
Body fat: 20% (same as last month)
My training is a complete one, on three directions of action:
1. Body
- Yoga techniques (postures, breathing and meditation) 31 sessions
- Freeletics - some kind of high intensity athletic training 13 sessions
- Running - 13 sessions
- Wing Chun Kung Fu minimal training- 31 sessions
- Freerunning / Parkour - no training this month
2. Diet
- A 70% plant based diet (with a twist of 70% alkaline food daily), no chemicals, less sugar, better hydration (300 ml water every 3 hours when possible) - I achieve this 75% of the time, i would say.
- One day a week - 24 hour fasting - did it 4 times in July. I kind of cheated my diet at least 4 times, having sweets and fizzy drinks (this is linked with my visits to cinema).
3. Mind
- Mindfulness techniques aka meditation: 31 times
- Memory training techniques: 31 sessions
- Brain boosting supplements - For the first month i tried: Multivitamin,Emperor Ginseng for Him 6000 mg, Zinc 50 mg, Omega 3-6-9 300 mg and my herbal remedies (but for the herbal treatments i did it completely only 75% of the time). I plan for August to add bee pollen, ginseng + ginkgo and probably from August i will also buy some Gotu Kola from Amazon.
This second month was a success, as i have still 20% body fat, but my weight is 83 kg, meaning that i added 2-3 kg of muscle, i am slowly improving my physical strength and stamina, running sessions are now 1.5 km longer as opposed to 1 km last month. As for the month number three, i am planning in increasing my yoga practice by 18%, running and high intensity training once every two days with Sunday as break, i will keep the martial art minimal practice once every day and i will aim for at least two parkour based trainings this month. Meditation will be done in the same way, but i will try to decrease distraction and increase focus. I am pleased with the progress, but some days i am just rushing through the training as i tend to work a bit too much. At least 5 days i slept less than 6 hours. I am testing a new method for first 10 days of August, so i will track the month 3 only from 10 to 31.
I will follow up soon with the economical monthly report.

My training is a complete one, on three directions of action:
1. Body
- Yoga techniques (postures, breathing and meditation) 26 sessions
- Freeletics - some kind of high intensity athletic training 12 sessions
- Running - 13 sessions
- Wing Chun Kung Fu - 13 sessions
- Freerunning / Parkour - no training this month
2. Diet
- A 70% plant based diet (with a twist of 70% alkaline food daily), no chemicals, less sugar, better hydration (300 ml water every 3 hours when possible) - I achieve this 80% of the time, i would say.
- One day a week - 24 hour fasting - did it 4 times in June
3. Mind
- Mindfulness techniques aka meditation: 26 times
- Memory training techniques: 26 sessions
- Brain boosting supplements - For the first month i tried: Multivitamin, vitamin C slow release, vitamin D, Zinc, Chromium, Omega 3-6-9 and my herbal remedies (but for the herbal treatments i did it completely only 75% of the time). I plan for July to add bee pollen, ginseng and probably from August i will also buy some Gotu Kola from Amazon.
This first month was a success, as i lost some of the weight achieved during my last holiday and i am slowly improving my physical strength and stamina. As for the month number two, i am planning in increasing my yoga practice by 20%, running and high intensity training once every two days, i will increase the martial art minimal practice to every day from every two days and i will aim for at least two parkour based trainings this month. Meditation will be done in the same way, but i will try to decrease distraction and increase focus.
I will follow up soon with the economical monthly report.

After 1 year of FIRE - anniversary post
I do not know how to start. It is already one year from the moment i decided: i will be financially independent. Back then i was thinking that shares are the way. I was young and naive, i know. I was just learning. I started by making a share dealing account with AJ Bell. I did calculus, comparison, research, you know, the whole deal. After all this colossal effort a bell was ringing, maybe i can find what others already did, maybe even some that are financially independent. And what i found. I was assaulted by information, websites, books, seminars, webinars. My tipping point was the book Money:master the game, by Tony Robbins. Then MrMoneyMustache, then FIRE movement in UK, it is like another life, now that i am looking back.
Enough with the memories, what are the results, you will ask. So i will start with this.
Financial results:
-From zero to 6866 pounds net wealth (to be honest, i think it was a negative value, i didn't know what my debts are back then, right now i have 610 pounds debt remaining).
-I started my additional pension plan, with 3054 pounds saved already on Jan 2016.
-I have invested in shared, bonds, P2P, bitcoin (a hobby of mine) and real estate crowdfunding.
-I published 4 books, with royalties to be paid (i figured out that i need 60-100 to reach a safe monthly income from royalties).
-i learn to plan, to budget and to increase my saving rate. I am no longer living from one wage to another, but i save and invest any extra money.
Physical results:
- in 2015 i had on average 3,5 trainings per week (cardio, running or strength, if you do not need to work, you probably want to be healthy and enjoy your life for longer).
- I run my first 5k last December, aiming for 10 this year.
- I eat healthier than before, even if sometimes if a tough challenge.
Emotionally:
- I learn how to restrain myself a bit better,
- I learn that less is better sometimes (I even had a 3 days complete fasting for an experiment).
- I learn to sacrifice immediate need for a future success.
Mentally:
- I tried to improve my chess, in order to develop that analytical mind skill set ( i did not failed this, but i did not improve too much either)
- I learn to enjoy the benefits of luxury without too much guild (when we need it , we need it), but i always looked for alternative, less expensive options.
- I am achieving better results, i am more focused and more motivated intellectually
- I did a Nutrition and Health course, and a Harvard Justice online class.
- Fighting bad habits and enforcing better habits, although this is work in progress.
This is the resume, if I start with details, it will be enough to write a book (I decided that I will write the book after I will be financially independent, not before). Anyway, it was a difficult but entertaining journey and i am thrilled about this year to come.
Good luck to you too and good night!

January monthly report - soon
This year i had a good start. And every system put in place in 2015 is working with increased efficiency, due to some minor or major tweak. Few more days and i will see if this month will be better than any of the previous 12. As i started my way to financial independence exactly one year ago. I will also try to describe what changes i went through as soon as i find some free time.
