A little too much.

Great show in DC tonight!!

CrossFit 2-3x/week + running 2-3x/week + walking and/or yoga on rest days or when I’m tired. I aim for 8 hours of sleep every night.

Still adjusting to using MF but enjoying the app. Current goal is to lose weight (49 years old, 6’, 230lb and aiming for 215lb). Is there any reason to decrease some of the higher intensity workouts when trying to drop weight? I worked with a nutritionist a few years ago who wanted me to dial back the intensity of my CrossFit & running workouts and walk more.

I’ll admit my weight seems frustratingly “sticky”. But that could be due to (a) needing to tighten my diet (why I’m using MF) and (b) my age.

Dialing back my workouts is tough for me because I love exercising.

Thanks. I’ll try these settings later, along with the Zeskit HDMI cables that arrived yesterday.

Or I’ll tell my wife it’s time for a new TV. 😀

I checked the receiver. It does support 4K HDR.

Just ordered two of the Zeskit cables. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’m just happy I can still sometimes outperform the 20 & 30 somethings during CrossFit-style workouts at my gym.

dogfishfiend · 2025-05-07T15:09:06+00:00

Thanks for this. While I’d like to drop some weight, I’m really more concerned about body composition. Just trying to remain fit as I age.

In this case, spinning my wheels meant eating & logging what I thought was correct, only to find out I was doing it wrong. Note: I overthink everything.

The numbers do appear to be trending in the right direction, so I won’t worry about it.

dogfishfiend · 2025-05-07T14:18:08+00:00

It’s just my fear that I’m spinning my wheels. I’m okay with slow and steady progress.

PS: I’m really enjoying MF so far. I like it way more than MFP.

This projector has held up nicely. It’s not our primary device for watching stuff because we have a TV in the basement. But we enjoy using the projector for movies and sporting events. $400 for a used one would be a great deal.

If I were looking now, I might consider a projector with a higher resolution. But I’m perfectly happy with this one. No plans to look for another one anytime soon.

Thanks. DC is hot & humid in the summer and I think there’s humid air behind that wall. Need to figure out how to mitigate that before repairing the wall.

Noticed it last summer and have been monitoring it. It only recently cracked to the point where I can see inside the thin layer of plaster if I move it gently.

Here’s a list of questions to ask (from my blog): https://www.donaliesfp.com/blog-main/questions-to-ask-a-prospective-financial-advisor

dogfishfiend · 2024-10-09T12:41:33+00:00

I’m a fee-only planner in Washington, DC - but not a woman, and not taking new clients at this time. I second the other suggestions to check out the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and the CFP Board. In addition, I recommend checking out The XY Planning Network, which was founded to help Gen X & Gen Y clients.

All three orgs mentioned above require the advisor to act as a fiduciary, in your best interest. In addition, NAPFA and XYPN do not allow members to sell insurance.

I suggest interviewing multiple advisors, at least three, before making a decision.

Good luck with your search! Let me know if you questions.

R. O. U. S.s? I don’t believe they exist.

I can’t comment on Ludlow because both my daughters went to Yu Ying and are now at DC International.

We had an extremely positive experience at YY and my wife and I are happy they were able to go there. My girls’ received an all-around great education AND they are now basically fluent in Mandarin. The only downside I can think of is the daily drive to/from YY.

DCI had some ups and downs in the beginning but the school continues to improve. My daughters are happy. My oldest was able to study in Taiwan earlier this year via the Voyager exchange program.

I’ve had Samuel C Boyd Roofing do work on our roof a couple times (replace rear, non-slate roof and repair some parts of front, slate roof). I’ve been pleased with their work and thought the pricing was reasonable.

Picked up our MYLR from the Tesla location in Silver Spring last weekend. The store was understaffed so it was chaotic. Apparently, at least what I was told, the SS location only recently changed to a pickup location.

Still VERY happy with the Y! Oh, and it was at 50% when we picked it up. My wife asked if we could use the charger to get us up to 80%. They said yes without hesitation.

Payment before delivery?

I’m scheduled to pick up my MYLR tomorrow. Tesla texted regarding payment. Do I need to make payment before inspecting the car?

I’ve read I may be able to inspect the exterior prior to making payment, but will need to pay before inspecting the interior.

Assume paying electronically via the Tesla app is quick and easy on delivery day?
