Did you start a new battle thread because I don't get as many notifications as I used to. Nope, no new battle thread, I've been doing the challenges instead. I'm still debating if I'm going to do the Holiday challenge though. 1 1 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment
Amazon Ninja Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hi! I just found this and I think this is amazing and I know you've got this!!!👍 1 Quote “The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' — they may not be smart enough to say 'yes.” - Keith Olbermann Link to comment

RubiksCat Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Note to future self: Amendment of 2021 future goals (changes in bold) III. Limit visits to Taco Bell and Whataburger a. No more than 1 trip to Taco Bell "OR" Whataburger per calendar week. Pick only one. b. July 1 - Dec. 31st: Limit 1 visit per month. II. Open up a new brokerage account. a. Deleted this goal all together. 1. Whataburger is basically a religion unto itself here in Texas but this must be done eventually for my health. 2. I've been reading app reviews on the Google Play store for TD, E-Trade, Fidelity, etc. etc. They aren't winning me over, I haven't decided what to do on this front yet. It's almost time to leave 2020 behind.... 4 Quote Link to comment
Tobbe Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hi RubiksCat! I like your approach to limiting your fastfood 👍 I haven't heard about TD, E-Trade or Fidelity, but I'm guessing they're stock trading apps. Am I right? Stock trading is fine as a hobby, but I wouldn't put any more money in that than any other hobby. Long term investments in stock on the other hand, preferably in as many different socks as possible, that's a whole other thing. Couldn't recommend it enough! (As long as you know about the risks.) I work in the field, so just ask if you have any questions 1 2 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment

I work in the field, so just ask if you have any questions Thanks @Tobbe, are you a stock broker? Yes those are stock trading apps in the U.S. I've watched a lot of YouTube videos about trading and how inflation eats into my bank account savings every year so not taking a risk is still considered taking a risk. The amount of yearly interest I earn from my bank is hilariously tiny compared to the growth potential I can see from ETF's and company stock so that's my number 1 reason. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tobbe Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 On 12/19/2020 at 2:25 AM, RubiksCat said: Thanks @Tobbe, are you a stock broker? No, I work for a company that help people invest their money automatically in stocks and bonds. You give us money, and we put them in a super diversified portfolio and keep the ratio between stocks and bonds aligned with your risk preference. I don't want to mention any names because I don't want this thread to turn up on a random Google search, but our closest equivalents in the US are like if you take the investment parts only of Wea1th fr0nt orBett3r m3nt. And 100% agree on how bad it is to just let your money sit and rot on a bank account. Always keep a buffer on a regular account, but the rest is better to invest somewhere. I earn 0 interest from my bank. Some banks even have a negative interest if you have too much money in an account, which is just insane. 3 1 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment

It's dangerous unless you have an expert guide you (and let's not get started on figuring out who IS expert and who ISN"T). 1 1 Quote Link to comment

RubiksCat Posted January 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Almost there as far as prep goes. What I've done is create a new Excel file for every month up until September. Another change is that I now plan to keep track of my pre-workout heart rate, which is something I did not do the last time I ran a battle log. New goals for each block of days (2 to 14, 15 to 28, etc., etc.) will be kept track of. So it's kind of like mini challenges inside of an even bigger battle log with a set end date. 2 Quote Link to comment
