2026: MeditationsOnMortality-8

by Rupe | Oct 1, 2026

August 1-31, 2026: I am now 3440  Days   (approximately: 9 Years, 4 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.

I am writing this on the 1st day of September:   Last month I started to write my close out and got distracted.  It also felt as thought the month went by in a jiffy and here I am at 17:28 wondering how did I get there.  I was doing quite well for some time, hitting my mark each month, but I think I am really at the point where I have to simplify and systematize this.   So with that being the way it is, I will just have to pick up from here.  I will leave last month where it is at and just push to do better.   

AREA 1:

Body:

    **Routine (B+): Stasis.  I won't change this .  My morning routine has not been much to call home about.  I have been going to bed late and the just throw me off because my projects pulls me out of bed eventhough it is so hot outside to do much.  I also keep saying that I must leverage AI but so far has not pulled it into this area of mylife.  I am pretty iffy about inviting any of these alien technology into my private areas, but I am realizing more and more that I might want to tip toe into it.  I have a local AI that I am going to try and employ, hopefully it is up to the task.

**Physical Overall (A-)

     - Injuries/Aches (B+): Last month, this would have been a B but over the last few weeks I have started to use prophilactic devices to help and they have been helping.  Addressing usual suspects: Left Pinky - is almost non-existent nowI try not to do too much that will wake her up.   Right Shoulder - Last report would likely have been no change - still weathering the storm, but since getting and using the Slingshot device, my right shoulder pain has essentially gone.  I am able to lift more with little discomfort.  I can feel the support, especially at the lower end of the lift and that is helping tremendously.  A few week back things got so bad I want to get to my PCM  but the visit to see her was 10 weeks out.  I am dropping them.  Right Elbow - this remain the main actor and has been so now going 3 -4 months.  As I mention in my June close out, it has stepped out in front of the shoulder.  Honestly, however, it has been tempered with wth braces that I have been using.  Now when I lift I wear them and so it is not as bad.  Right Wrist - remains in the same category as above.  Lower Back (Right) - I supsect that this will be a forever companion, I just need to learn to deal wih it.   

     - Lifting (A):  This has not changed over the last couple of months.  I continue to make steady progress and back in June, I was reporting deadlifting 420 once, but now I am at 440 once.  That is a huge gane over the last couple of months.  I am not going to push it but if I can get to 5 plates by the end of the year that would be a major accomplishment.  I think at that point I will just rest to consolidate.  I will see.  I feel privileged to be doing this at this age and hope to do it for a long time.  My squat and bench have also seen major gains and I just have been surprising myself.  

  **Tracked Metrics (B):

     - Activities (A): I gonna move myself up to a full found A here.  Usually I would dock myself for a 98% but that is an  A dude.  My total cardio time missed slightly so no biggie.  Thee pyramid scheme continues to pay dividends.

     - Sleep (C-):  Every month I keep telling myself that I need to do better here.  The fact is I need another approach.  Some night are good and then there are terrible nights.  I don't get to bed until 2am and then I jump out of the bed to get on with life early.  Just telling myself that I need a better way is not working.  I have to take concrete steps to address.  I think it starts with my to do list.  Also, now tha it is cooling down, I might be able to get things done earlier so that I can go to bed earlier.   I will run an experiment with myself for September.

   **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: NTR
- Neurology:  NTR.
- Labs:  Need to get re-labs to test Crestor.  My care team is useless to me.  Just my personal opinion.

Spanish/Chess:
  **Spanish (A-):  My streak on Duolingo (1484 Day) 9AUG2022 and Drops (1225 Days).  My Duo score is at  102 now.  At the end of June it was just about at 100.  By my account then I am covering a section a month.  I will see if I can pick that up over the final stretch of the year.  Last time I reported that the app updated and took away a number of my previous accomplishment; I have not gone back to look it up, but so far I am focusing on get through the program.  Drop and fallen off right now.  I am not getting as much out of it, so I just do it to keep my vocabulary and since I have the life plan I am not losing anything.

*Reading/Listening:  I manage to finished 4 book in July and 7 books in August.  I just started Get to Be Happy by Ted Larkin.   I totally enjoyed every book that I have read so far this year, a number of them stand out, especially the Marquez's.  Mel Robbins is just a hoot and I finally got around to getting in a Ryan Holiday and really enjoyed it.

AREA 2:   

Financials:
Inflation: 4.2% ; Iran related (no change)
Gas Price:  >$400 ; Iran related (no change)
Markets: Inflation has not eased but honestly our portfolio has not really been suffering that much   (currently +7.50% YTD  and +1.40% (1-month)  as of 31.AUG.2026

Socio/Political:
US: Orangotang - still terrorizing the nation - WH Ballroom, Iran war, tarriff with Canada (and others), ICE, Election interference 
US:  Epstein case has fallen out of the news somewhat, but it will come back (I hope) 
US:  The AI wars are still going on.  Right now I think ChatGPT (OpenAI) has clawed back some market share from Claude (Anthropic)
World 1: Iran - The US-Iran situation just started back up a couple days ago with them exchanging fires. 
World 1: Israel-Hamas / Israel-Lebanon: still going on.
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.
