Health and HDMI Switch and Earthquakes
Posted by Chuck in News, tags: Diet Update, earthquake, FaceBookDiet and Pains
Finally made it back to see Dr. Dua regarding my weight management. I had another body scan and it did show I’ve gained a bit of muscle mass, however not very much and that I’ve gained some fat too. Most of it is in my “trunk” and that’s where I need to start focusing. We’ve switched up the diet and exercise routines a bit to hopefully start dropping more of the fat. I’ll be doing a full body workout once per week and at least 45 minutes of cardio 4 times per week. I see him in about 6 weeks to see how we’re doing. I’m going to be heading to Seattle in a few weeks and I want to try and drop as much weight as I can before then.
My right shoulder has been bothering me for a few weeks (about 3 months now) and so I finally worked with Dr. Dua to have that checked out. He prescribed an anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer. I’m taking the “Aleve” twice a day and the muscle relaxer only at night. I need my head clear for working during the day. You’re not suppose to take aspirin when you take the anti-inflammatory so I’ve halted my daily 81mg of aspirin.
I’ve been working on a Summary report for my health status – mostly to make it easier for me and the doctor to review my nutrition and exercising routines. I’m pretty happy with it for now, but I’m sure I can make some improvements. I need to see if I can disconnect the “live” connection to my home server and just publish static pages. That will allow the pages to load much faster than having to read in from several servers. I’ll work on it a bit at a time until I’m finished.
New HDMI Switch
I’ve picked up a new HDMI switch to take over the role of a component cable switch for my living room. I’m thinking of installing it today, but I’ve had it for a couple of weeks. It will take some time because I need to pull everything apart and hook it all up, and then reprogram the remote control. I need to make sure I have enough HDMI cables too. Before I pull everything apart, I’ll make a plan so can order the cables if I need any.
Earthquake in Maryland
There was a 3.6 earthquake with an epicenter not too far away. My area didn’t really feel anything, but many people at work did feel it. I may have, but I was sleeping at the time it happened and it wasn’t enough to even wake me up. Many people don’t realize that we’re in an area that has many quakes, it’s just that most of them are so small that we don’t feel them.
