2026: MeditationsOnMortality-5

by Rupe | Jun 6, 2026

May 1-31, 2026: I am now 3348  Days   (approximately: 9 Years, 1 Month, 1 Days inclusive) on my workout streak (9APR2017).

Just to clarify (Sticky!): Over the period above, my workout streak  refers to the fact that is that I have manage to do something physical each and everyday regardless of how I feel or where I am to maintain my fitness.  I always do my Dailies and in addition - run, walk, row, cycle but usually run and walk, and depending on the day, I lift - upper body, lower body, or some type of hybrid.  This is my long term program and I have been at it now religiously since around 2015, but in earnest since April-May of 2017.

So today I am writing these words on the 5th day of June.  The last few days have been busy, but I can't put my finger on why I was not able to complete this alread.  I absolutely must get this down to be more automatic.  Last month I mentioned that my little girl, now my young lady, had graduated college.  Well, now she is making the transition.  As I speak, she is current going through the process of getting certified by State of Florida for her teacher's certification.  She is just making us prouder by the day.  We do have things we are working through, but those are constants and can't overshadow this moment in time.  I am drinking it all in.

AREA 1:

Body:

    **Routine (B+): Bigger  Moves.  Building on last month, I am getting in more and more morning walks.  This is great because it helps to set the tone for the day.  Right now I am really trying to integrate AI to free me up from some of the repetitive task that I do daily.  Also the fact that I am managing cataloging my day between my webiste (here) and my Obsidian vault.  I am being very patient and intentional, because I don't want to include AI into spaces that I don't want to get to and so - so is smooth for me right now. 

**Physical Overall (A-)

     - Injuries/Aches (B): I will keep it a B.  Addressing some the items I had from last entry: Left Pinky - well, to be honest this has not really been a problem.  It is still there, but in the last few lifts, it has not really bothered me that much.  Right Shoulder - I would probably put it in the same category as Pinky.  It flares up around my lift, but then it sink back below the waves pretty quickly after.  Right Elbow - this tends to be bit more pronouced, but since I have gotten a brace and lift with the brace, I have noticed a pretty marked improvement in that department.  I have also pulled back (and have for some time now) from overworking it in between lifts by not doing as many full pushups.  I think that is helping quite a bit.  Right Wrist - this is on the sam level as Elbow and Shoulder; it flares up around the lift and then falls off.  Lower Back (Right) - This has started to flare up a bit more now.  I am not sure if it is because I am actually doing stretches and exercise to target and strengthen tha area, but as I sit here, it is tweaking me.

     - Lifting (A):  For the first time, I think I will give myself an "A" here.  After my last report of busting through a plateau, I have gone on to register a few additional PB.  A couple days ago I lifted the heaviest weight every (415lbs) on the deadlift for 2 reps.  and 405lbs for 4 reps.  I also registered another PB for my bench, but I don't remember what it was, but it was a great feeling.  Staying patient, resting and eating properly has to be the key here and I am trying my best not to push beyond my limits but be patient and let it come to me. 

  **Tracked Metrics (B):

     - Activities (A): I am staying here, because all my number (100%) came in above 100%  across the board again.  I continue to work the pyramid scheme and I believe it is making a difference. 

     - Sleep (C):  I am gonna keep it at for this month as well, but I am not disappointment in that.   For the first time in a very long time, my numbers have flipped.  My overal sleep volume (hours/per night)  went down, but my  sleep quality (REM + Deep Sleep) went up significantly.  I have also notice that this trend continue to even this morning.  Now, I just have to focus on going to bed earlier, because I think that will fix the volume issue.   All in all, I am feeling good about my sleep.  

   **Supplements:  No Change: 2x Berberine with meals, Psyllium Husk (fiber), multi-vitamins, B-complex and Magnesium, Lipo NR, Lipomizen , Curcumin, Creatine (10mg).

   **Diet:  No change: Continue steady state.  Salad and chicken continue to drive the bus; pork chops is making its mark as well.  My focus remains - (From a previous entry: The big focus this year once again is on A1c, kidney health, prostate health, cardio health, muscle gain and weight maintenance).   I running out of Beet Root powder so I will have to get some more.  I think I will have to acknowledge the fact I did not get rid of the batch from my last buy and not repeat it.  I believe I have gotten some good results and if nothing else it is helping me to sweeten my coffee. 

Biomarkers/Medical Check: 
- Urology: NTR
-  Sleep: I am confidently say that I am using my  Apnea Machine must more than before; so there should be no compliance issue. 
- Neurology:  NTR.
- Labs:  Need to get re-labs to test Crestor.  I know I have mentioned not liking to deal with my current team, but I have to get beyond that. 

Spanish/Chess:
  **Spanish (A-):  My streak on Duolingo (1391 Day) 9AUG2022 and Drops (1163 Days).  My Duo score is at  98 right now and I expect to be at 99 in a few day.  It appears that things are speeding up.  I am now at a point where I don't think I am translating in my head but just seeing the objects and contexts in my brain as I read.  It is getting especially better listening to the characters speak.  I am also getting to the end of Drops. Out of a total of 4000, I am at 3923.  My hope is to finish that up this month and move to something else.  It has been great for vocabulary study. 

**Reading/Listening:  I manage to finished 4 book in May, and I am just about finishing up Women by  Kristen Hannah.  Behind that I think I might read -  Marquez's - 100 Years of Solitude.  That has been on my list for sometime, so I will see how it goes.  These are long books but I have prioritize them over podcasts and that is paying dividends.

AREA 2:   PICK UP FROM HERE

Financials:
Last month write up for the section gave a summary beyond financials so I won't repeat that mistake here again.  Although, to be fair, it was a good overview of global affairs roiling market and so is essence is financial really.  These days Tariff is not dominating the news as it did a few months ago, I suppose if you wait long enough, everything fades.  You can't say the same about AI, oil and grocery prices or inflation for that matter.  It is always funny how pundits talk about the future and it never seems to be as bad when you are actually going through the forecasted period.  I have learned to temper my expectations in that regard.  This past month was not as awesome as the previous month (April) but our portfolio has not lost and if anything we managed a slight gain.   (currently +8.61% YTD  and 2.51% (1-month)  as of 1.JUN.2026

Socio/Political:
US: Blow-hard name if off the Kennedy Center.
US:  Honestly have not heard much about the Epstein case, but one is always conscious of it in the background along with Ice raid
US:  Immigration is back in the news - Green card holder have to leave the country and wait for approval of application.
World 1: Iran - The US-Israel war on Iran is supposed to be on pause but they are trading missiles almost daily.
World 1: Israel-Hamas / Israel-Lebanon: still pretty active engagement with Israel moving deep into Lebanon.
World 3: Ukraine-Russia war continues.   Same sh*t different day.  White people killing each other. No real update; low grade boil.

DareBee
Still have not missed a day of Daily Dare - yup; not a one.

(Kept from previous foreword) - Additionally, I have added a couple layers of complexity or demand to my workout.  First, I am religiously sticking to DareBee and the Daily Dare; I am also, keeping the preliminaries.  Second, I have added a consecutive component - so, starting with the end of IronBorn (9 April 2017), I have worked consecutively.  I intend to push for 60 straight day, then see if I can get to 90.  So far I am enjoying it and my body seems to be rising to the occasion.  I caught the flu a few day before the end of the last phase (around May 2017) - I worked through it and was back up in only a couple of days.  It appears pushing through and forcing my body to continue working, I was able to push the flu out of my way.  I am also continuing my virtual push to OKC via Benton.  I am really enjoying that but I will have to pick up the mileage here in the next phase as I am running out of time. Keep leaning forward.
