10,000 steps a day

  
“I don’t have dreams . I have goals . Now it’s on to the next one ” Harvey Specter 

To approach my health goals I broke it down to  smaller goals and then monitored the data .

I had a very simple approach by :

  • Increasing activity 
  • Monitor activity 

As mentioned in previous post I use Jawbone UP 2 to monitor my activity , sleep and food nutrients . 

I found an article on the NHS in the UK that the average person walks around. 3,000- 4,000 steps a day ! The article talks about how increasing steps has a mulitple health benefits NHS – The 10,000 steps challenge . So I thought why not ” in for a penny in for a pound ” ( loose pounds that is 😉  )  so every day 10,000 steps  , it became very easy after time to achieve this amount on a daily bases . 

When I saw the effect I started to increase my activity  by using ellipitacal machines at Tokyo American Club . I say easy what I mean  when you achieved it , you notice the numbers are not so big . So then I started hitting 15k , 20k ,30k didn’t seam that daunting .  It became a habit . Willpower is like any muscle in th body it need to be trained :

Few tips I found :

  • Don’t miss two days in a row , we all slip up but don’t slip up two days as that’s starting to form a bad habit . 
  • Habits are formed by repeating certain task over and over , so take it at your pace .
  • Cut your habit down into chunks .

Paralyzed man gives his chance to walk to little boy

A true true inspiration ,

Huge respect to this guy .

Dan Black was paralyzed in an accident in 2009; he lost the use of his body from the chest downward. He also suffered a stroke, causing one of his arms to be useless as well. The 25 year-old worked on raising money for himself (over $20,000) just so he could undergo a stem cell treatment that may help him walk again. But instead of keeping the money for himself, causing one of his arms to be useless as well.

Nikkei hits 15,000 , ¥ weakens – How high can the stock go and how low can the ¥ go ?!?

Is it a bird ? Is it a plane ? No that’s the Nikkei going up up and away .:-)

Yen weakness pushed the Nikkei above 15,000 points for the first time in more than five years, you be hard pressed to remember we just gone through the worst financial situation in recent times , only 5 years ago !

$ pushed above 102 – more positive news about the economy .

What joy it is to hear positive news .

Ozzy $ was reacting to the government budget . I see the $aud weakening , the commodity bubble that has made the country very rich is slowing , as such the rest if the economy is extremely uncompetitive .

Long Nikkei , short Yen , short AUD . That’s my trades and also long £ , I can see it recovering second third quarter .

Nikkei 225 breaches 14,000 – best in almost 5 years

Japan has an air of BOOM brewing , economic that is .
Stock markets are up nearly 50% in one year , yen weakening and improving economic activity , can it last ? I think so when Nikkei starts to go 19,000 /20,000 then it’s time to re think .
We have been focused and bombarded with negative news for past 5 years we believe good news won’t last , for the moment it ill .

It’s here to stay , enjoy the good news , good wether and good return .

Personally i have a view profits are only profits when you bank them .

Nikkei 225 breaches 14,000 – best in almost 5 years.

The Japanese Nikkei 225 stock average pushed through 14,000 for the first time since June 2008, after stock markets in Japan reopened from a two-day holiday.

During the closed period for the Golden Week holidays, the yen fell, the European Central Bank cut its benchmark rates and US jobs data beat estimates. Consequently, by the end of the morning session, the Nikkei was up 2.8% to 14,083. Such gains were led by the basic materials and consumer goods sectors, with almost all companies on the index posting rises.

Furthermore, analysts believe that improving corporate earnings could also boost sentiment further in the days ahead.

Of which, Toyota Motor surged 4.4% a day after the Nikkei newspaper said that the operating profit for the year ended March 31 was expected to have tripled from a year earlier. Nissan Motor also jumped 5% ahead of its earnings announcement later this week.

Elsewhere in Asia, the MSCI Asia Pacific index rose 1%, while South Korea’s Kospi Composite index slipped and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 index retreated – amid caution ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s monetary policy decision.

Australia’s central bank has cut its benchmark interest rate to a record low of 2.75%, in an attempt to counter slowing growth in the country’s mining sector. The bank said that it expects investment in the resources sector, one of its biggest drivers of growth, to peak this year.
