Exercise (247) Flu?

The muscle aches haven't gone away and now I have a slight sore throat, I am starting to this I am starting to have the flu. The aches aren't as bad as it initially was though. Sore throat could just be because it was the morning.

I did have a guest that had a fever the week prior, so I am going to be a little more cautious to be healthier.

The weight loss is probably due more to this more than the little exercising I've been doing the last couple days. I also had an all-you-can eat meal the other day, so I really shouldn't be losing weight that fast.

Exercise (249) First jog

Yesterday, I jogged for the first time in a long while. I jogged for two minutes, 3 times. I have also sped up my walk from 2mph to 2.5mph to 3mph for about 30 minutes. When I have time, I also walked (slow, probably around 2mph) during lunch for about 20 minutes.

I am not sure the cause, but today I my upper leg feels like they are restless like I cannot sit still for a minute without feeling like getting up and walk it off except that it does not go away. I do not get these often. Maybe a handful of times a year.

But if I had to hazard a guess, I feel like I get it more often after I workout but lagging a day or two. The last time I had this problem was when I started doing kickboxing. I did find that putting my legs up (against a wall) did help in the past, although it does not seem directly impactful. So, I will have to start doing that again and see if that helps. It is hard to do once I have the problem though because the restlessness just builds.

Although one pound is still within a normal weight range, at least my weight stop going up. Hopefully, I will eventually get into some rhythm of this. It will be tough as I am also trying to clear out my place.

Exercise (250) Another restart

Sadly, I have reached my all-time heaviest weight to date at 250 pounds. I have been swinging between 235 and 240 for a long time since my last attempt, and lately it has just been downhill. But hopefully this was due to my busy life.

Lately

The main cause is that I have been busy with personal life activities mostly important guests visiting. I haven't slept in my room for about a month now. There was also a lot of cleaning prior and in between different groups of people.

Looking forward

As of this morning, I am at 248. I have not been exercising at all the last several months, except for the weekly volleyball (which I skipped last week for more important reasons). I do not think I will have much problems getting back to workout mode. I also need to start training to hike Grand Canyon (which I really hope I can get out of still :P).

I am hoping I can get as close to 200 as possible by end of next year. That is my goal. There will be a few obstacles like moving and getting a new job. From past experience, those will be tough to overcome workout-wise. But I will try to push through them this time around.

Buggish: MS Excel not autofit row with wrap text

Symptom: When I double-click on the left row index where you normally click to resize the row, nothing happens. In most cases this works, but for some "random" reason this does not work all the time.


Possible workaround: Make sure the zoom is at 100%


Notes: I tried to find a solution online but almost all the pages either say to make sure wrap text is enabled/checked/high-lighted/etc or that there are no merged columns.

I cannot believe I lived all these years with this problem with such a simple "fix".

Although some say only with 2010, I want to say that I have faced this problem with all versions of Excel or the very minimum the last several iterations before 2010. I have not had the pleasure of using later versions.
