Health

Weighed in today at 163.6 and here's my ExcelDiet.com sheet.

The key disturbing issue to me is my trendline is going up.  This is clearly telling me what I've been doing for the last 10 months isn't working. This is my fourth attempt to follow the red goal line and I've failed 3 times so far. Even worse is I don't know why I've failed to lose weight or have a stable trendline. On the positive side I use to weigh 185, so I'n down over 20 lbs. from that point.

Like the rule "Buy low sell high," what sounds easy can be very difficult to implement. One difference is I haven't been following the Excel Diet but more of a Paleo/Atkins/Bulletproof type diet where I eat lot's of fat and low carb. I've been measuring my blood sugar since  March 29, 2015.

One of my favorite sayings is "If you do what you've done, you'll get what you've got." Basically, what I've been doing in this time frame hasn't worked, I need to try something new.

News

No big news stories but topics being talked about are:

• Katrina 10 year anniversary
• ISIS
• Global warming
• Iran Nuke Deal with the US

Stocks

Stocks came back big time. For some reason big losses means big gains a few days later. This seems like an easy strategy to take advantage on if you can trade short term.

Excel Diet

Got a download of the spreadsheet to day and tried to upload the book to Scribd.com but had and issue.

Listi.net

Working on porting the website from Microsoft Access to SQL server. I've set up a table and got a script to be able to read and write to the table. My backlog is the following:

1. Create main tables in SQL server database
1. Identify main tables
2. Set up the table(s) on Godaddy website
2. Load data from access to SQL server
3. Make sure data is getting backed up
4. Need a process to copy data from MS Access to SQL server

Microsoft Access Database

The main database is called ListMaker.mdb

The relevant tables and description are:

1.       PageCache – stores webpages for quick access so queries aren’t needed. Created to optimize the response time

2.       ListInfo – Information about a list

3.       GenData – Most important table where all the list info is stored

a.       GD_Id

b.      GD_status

c.       GD_Desc

d.      GD_Memo

e.      GD_UID

f.        GD_DateAdded

g.       GD_DateDeleted

h.      GD_Category_Id

i.         GD_nbr_items

4.       GenOrg – Stores the organization of the database

There may be an issue with autonumber fields as the numbers to be loaded must match data in the access database.
