This List is more for my own personal consumption. I used to be a
mechanical investor, dabbled in LTBH and now returning to my roots.
Use this list at your own risk. I read an article on Seeking Alpha
using a combination of using O'Shaughnessy's trending value with
Piotroski's F-Score.

Video of the SBYC 2019 Hot Rum Regatta race #1. All I have to say is we
had a lot of fun that day the wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour. We
did not fly the spinnaker because I was concerned that we would
probably either broach or shrimp the spinnaker. What amazes me was that
while we were going out to the starting line, we got up to 9 miles per
hour with just the mainsail J/70 that is fast.
I finally figured out how to upload a GoPro video with telemetry, and
as one file. The process is not perfect, but doable. The problem is
that GoPro saves files as chapters or four-gigabyte files. The normal
way is to create a playlist that puts the file together or put the file
together with music. For me, that is not acceptable.
In GoPro Quik, open each file in View one at a time. Added the gauges,
then create a clip. Save the clip. You have to that with each file.
This will make an MP4.
Then use MP4Joiner to merge all the
files together. Fun? (not). What I got were an hour and two-minute
YouTube video.
Just did a report on my garmin connect. It is good to look back at what you did
because it puts what you do into perspective of what one has accomplished.

I did not include "other". Cycling I had just started in late last year. My goals for 2019
most likely will be a lot more than 2018.
I have been a caretaker all my life. I learn how to give a shot when I
was 17 years old. What I've learned over time is that you do have to
listen to what your doctor says but you need to read up on the
conditions of the person that you're taking care of. This last year I
have been taking care of an older diabetic person. The person has a mild
cognitive disorder and bad kidneys and diabetes 2. By reading up on
person's condition, it also makes what the doctor says more sense it
allows you to know when to call the doctor and when not to also allows
you to set up protocols that I make sense to you also it helps you
understand what is going on
The problem with the Internet is that many articles just do not make
sense or there too academic. Even worse they come and go. I have found
several websites that made it easier to explain to my friends the
situation that I'm going through however over time they disappear. One
was called: My Aging Parents.
Many blog sites will cut and paste different websites. I wish I could
since the information was helpful to me. I believe it would be helpful
for others.
However, in the United States, we have to deal with Copyright our laws.
Even under the theory of fair use, I have already learned the hard way
about justice sometimes is a matter of how has a better lawyer. When I
say that, I do not claim victimhood.
My recommendation is that you decide on a notebook such as OneNote and
copy and paste the information so that it will always be there and is
available to you. I am choosing OneNote because when push comes to
shove when it counts, I turn to Microsoft Office. I do use other Office
Suites such as Google Docs, just that Microsoft Office is a lot less
frustrating.
I hope that over the year, I can synthesize the information that I find
so it can be available to me and hopefully useful to you.
I have moved from Google Sheets to Microsoft Excel for doing Insulin
titration for my mother. I am an Android, Linux, Windows shop and felt
that Google sheets would be better for being able to move between
Windows and my Samsung tablet and phone. From past experience, Google
Docs is excellent in collaboration. The issue that I noticed was that
sometimes the data that I entered in did not prorogate between devices.
I know that SAAS spreadsheets are a hub and spoke. What I think was
happening was that the cached version was not being uploaded to the
central server. When it was, uploaded, it became the older version
because it was changed elsewhere. The issue may have been my work
offline settings or how I move from device to device or wifi to wifi. In
the end, it does not matter to me. For my well being and mother’s
health, it just has to work.
Before I show an HTML table representation of my spreadsheet, here are
my sources:
The titration uses the fasting simple moving average. From what I
understand about Tresiba, does change should happen every 3 to 4 days.
The countif function checks to see if the last 4 doses were the same. If
they are the same, titrate. Also, if the simple moving average is under
70, reduce dosage by 10%.
Today, I hit obese body fat or 25.1 based on my Garmin Index Scale. I look
at BMI as a benchmark, but my goals are not by body weight percentage. I had promised
I would never be obese again, but here I am.
Read an MFP blog post. I liked it because it sums up how I feel about
dieting. It was simply called: You Can't Outrun a Bad
Diet.
I laughed at it because when I first started dieting my hour lunch walk
did not burn up enough calories so that I could eat a piece of pizza. It
is worth reading. Over this week I had burned a lot of active calories
biking, sailing and running. I still put on the pounds.
My current problem with dieting is I like to eat and drink with friends.
Also, my stress level is a little high. I eat when I am stressed out.
Well to the highlights:
The first paragraph made me laugh since I allowed myself to get mugged
by chocolate cake:
It's a huge battle which I suck at some days. I don't know about you,
but even though I am not afraid of being mugged my a chocolate cake
with vanilla icing (is this profiling), this effing food thing is
tough. It does not care how fit you are, or what you do; when you
consume more calories than you burn, you gain weight
This sums what it is about dieting. I do believe that food is a lot more
complex that the calorie in, calorie out mantra. Just that calorie in,
calorie out works. I do not know how, but I have already put on my most
feared ten-holiday pounds. I have to work to get them off.
The next part is that one just has to work the program. My program is
three parts: Calorie counting, exercise, sleep. If I do not record my
food, I tend to eat more. Exercise makes me feel good and allows me to
be active. Without good sleep, it seems that the other two do not
matter.
The last statement is important. I have been giving myself permission to
cheat on my diet.
One of the things I know about failing is that we give ourselves
permission to do it. We make excuses. "It's only once", "it's
vacation", "it's OK to start over tomorrow", "it's just a stressful
time" and the hits keep on coming. In 7 years on MFP I have seen a
lot of people come and go - a lot - thousands in fact!
In my family, it was always Monday to start a diet. Maybe even eat
enough food that it would take a month to work off the bing. When it
comes to dieting, there is no time like the present.
I am a big fan of statistics. They make order out of chaos. The
summation hit home. I am currently in the 55% of those who do not keep
all my weight off. I am terrified of being the 40% who gain their weight
back or even more. I want to be the 5% who make there goal of weight
loss and keep it off.
I admit, I will will always be a recovering overweight person.
