GoalSeeker, you sound quite motivated.
I am not a counter, but I saw a blackjack player at a table once who was moving his lips while studying the cards. The impression I got was that he was counting but forgot to not move his lips while doing so!
I realize the following may not be practical, but on this forum I have read some sage advice: If I am paraphrasing correctly, have an experienced counter whom you trust watch you execute your skills in a real casino, or perhaps in a semi-simulated casino. She/he can provide valuable feedback.
Finally, perhaps expect the unexpected, such as a smelly player sitting down next to you, smoky air, chilly air conditioning, an impatient waitress asking you what you'd like to drink, etc.
