147 challenge

Hello, I'm Pete, 33, I have been playing poker for over a decade in varying formats. I started with Limit Hold'em cash games, due to the first Poker book I bought being Limit Hold'em. When those games didn't run as much, I started playing No Limit Hold'em cash games and tournaments. I've gone back and forth between playing low stakes cash and low stakes tournaments, with more hands being played at cash, mostly on Stars.
I've decided to focus on tournaments this year and solely on SkyPoker. Having read an update from Tikay not so long ago detailing SkyPoker in its current guise may only last until the middle of this year, and a call for more threads to keep the forum going, I've decided to detail my results and goals here. The reasoning for the thread title, "147 challenge" is that it is 147 days until June 1st, which is when my goals will be based up until. It is also a number I like, being a keen snooker player/watcher (don't play as much now).
I've been struggling with enthusiasm of late to put the sessions in, so having read a few people with similar struggles that have found being accountable on the forum has helped, it gives me reason to try also. It won't be high volume or high stakes stuff. I don't have much money in my SkyPoker account and I have a full-time job (Office job, rather not go into specifics) and other time constraints.
Goals by June 1st:
[ ] Play 1,000 tournaments
[ ] Average ROI of 25%+
[ ] Weigh 159 pounds or less
I did say it won't be high volume stuff. I've played under 2k tournaments lifetime on SkyPoker according to Sharkscope. I am not sure how attainable the ROI is for me, Sharkscope shows I have an average ROI of 52% but I am not sure how much that is skewed by freerolls. I've gone for an average ROI goal, rather than monetary goal as this is determined by playing good at all stakes (I think). I will be playing mostly £11 & lower buy-ins to start with but will try some satellites into the Main & Sheriff. As I like to read how people are doing in terms of actual money results, I will record wins/losses with the weekly updates I plan to do.
The target weight is in the healthy weight range for my height & age according to the BMI calculator. I currently weigh 185 pounds.
Weekly goals in order to attain the above goals:
Below is the plan for the next five weeks, at which point, I will re-evaluate:
[ ] Play at least 40 tournaments a week
[ ] Only eat in an 8 hour period each day
[ ] Workout 5 times a week
I've gone on long enough.
Have a good evening, good luck at the tables & up the Villa.

This looks excellent.
As the pesky kids say, "subscribed".
Good luck
Remember, there are no easy pots in this game. However, if you put maximum effort in, I am sure you will clear up. I will be first in that queue to get tips off you when you do
Fyi, freerolls make virtually no difference to your ROI figures on Sharkscope given that you don't actually invest anything to play them in the fist place. Below are your results with and without freerolls included. I think the only reason for any difference in the ROI's may come from the few freerolls which have optional rebuys.
Hendrik62 is also a Villa fan (although he does support about 6 other teams too)
Good to see the forum is in good health this new year
Glgl, look forward to following!
I'm a big snooker fan too. Who's your favourite player to watch? What's your highest break?
I don’t watch much snooker these days, back in the day I was an avid viewer of the likes of Steve Interesting’ Davis, Jimmy ‘Whirlwind’ White etc etc.
Do you think today’s players match up to the best of the past?
