by TheElderBro March 3, 2018 No Comments

There has been a delay in posts, because I moved apartments.  Long story short, I made the decision to buy an apartment and move across the river to New Jersey.  I am still in the process of unpacking, although it’s getting close to being done. If you are condsidering buying vs renting, I highly recommend […]

by TheElderBro February 7, 2018 No Comments

If you remember one of my earlier posts I made the point that there were a lot of things that I enjoy doing, yet don’t get around to actually doing. In the middle of last week, a friend called and asked if I wanted to go skiing on Saturday.It was a one day trip up […]

Progress Report – Numbers don’t lie edition

by TheElderBro February 1, 2018 No Comments

Well, it’s almost 1 Feb.  My target weight was 190. Today my weight was 192.8.  Yesterday it was 192.4.  That averages out to 192.6.  With bodyfat at 21.6% (averaged over 2 days) as told by my Skulpt Chisel. My weight on 1 Jan was 196.8, at 22.5% bodyfat. Time for some math.  On 1 Jan, […]

Anatomy of a bad day – preventing playoff Sunday from becoming a setback

by TheElderBro January 22, 2018 No Comments

My initial plan for this weekend was to create a post taking a look at progress to date regarding my health, wellness, and specifically weight/fat loss goals. Then I sat down to watch some playoff football. As you can tell from the title of this post – let’s just say that Team Upgrade suffered a […]

New Tools, Scary Results – Personal Capital

by TheElderBro January 17, 2018 No Comments

When doing my baseline calculations for the Wealth portion of my life, I created a basic spreadsheet I cleverly titled: Generic Planner.  Pretty impressive, right? How to use the Generic Planner: Put how much money you earn in the row labeled ‘Income’ (row 2). Guess how much money you will earn in the future.  For […]

Houston we have a problem part 3 – Wealth

by TheElderBro January 11, 2018 No Comments

This was where I thought this blog would start.  In fact, prior to writing this blog, I spent the vast majority of my time concerned about Wealth, and whether or not I was on track to retire with the ability to enjoy my life.  In the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki defines wealth […]

Taking action part 1 – Health in 2018 (spoiler alert: Lose some weight!)

by TheElderBro January 1, 2018 No Comments

Well, 2018 is here.  In the first health post, I showed how the InsideTracker blood test showed that I really needed to get my fitness in gear.  Then I headed into the holidays and did exactly the opposite of anything that would help move the needle.  So, here I am standing on the scale this […]

Houston we have a problem part 2… Health

by TheElderBro December 27, 2017 No Comments

Wow.  I was not prepared for this.  I have a mirror, I have a scale, and I even have a bodyfat monitor.  So I knew/know that I could stand to improve somewhat.  But after getting my bloodwork done using InsideTracker.com, I was completely unprepared to see this: InsideTracker uses the hormones, cholesterol, and other stuff […]

Mistakes I’ve Made – Episode 1… The Boat!

by TheElderBro December 16, 2017 No Comments

Welcome, dear readers, to the very first installment of ‘Mistakes I’ve Made’.  I originally thought about doing an article or two…  then I realized that ‘Mistakes I’ve Made’ would likely be a reoccurring feature detailing some of the things I’ve done wrong.  I’ll eventually get around to doing things I’ve done right list as well, […]
