20/20 LifeStyle

Posted in Food, Health at 20.37 by Gabe

I can’t believe its been 14 weeks and I haven’t written about this yet.

I’ve been doing the 20/20 Lifestyle program from the ProClub.

I’ve lost 19 lbs, dropped my cholesterol from 241 to 141, dropped my triglycerides from 1491 to 92, stopped taking my blood pressure meds and my BP is 110/70 (+-10), and stopped taking Niaspan.

I’ve learned a ton about what to eat. I’ve been exercising 3-5 times a week.

Amazingly I did this even with the birth of Julia. My wife has been an incredible supporter/motivator.

Now I want to loose a little more weight and then maintain for a very long time.

Mac UI: Tab Focus

Posted in Computer, Uncategorized at 12.52 by Gabe

I’ve been using this mac for a bit and its SUPER GOD DAMN annoying that you can’t tab into select boxes, or between dialog options (Save, Don’t Save, Cancel). Turns out there’s an option for it, not enabled by default:

I don’t think the 1 button mouse leaves Steve’s hand.

I’m so happy Hedon@ISCABBS posted that link.
