Physical Exercise

[sunsetlover]

I need to get motivated... but its very hard to do that

[popparoc46]

@sunsetlover Even though I don't work anymore, I don't want to "find the time", but it is like cleaning the toilet ... gotta be done! - roc

[ohjoannabanana]

When I can't find my comment I type in command F for the find function and search for my name. It helps, but it is still frustrating.

[popparoc46]

@ohjoannabanana Thanks for this tip, Joanna! It amazed me!  I really need to study what my MacBook will do! - roc

[javgirl]

a gremlin is unsynching many of our voices. it's a conspiracy

[popparoc46]

@javgirl I agree!!!! - roc

[mickmusing]

I have grown immune to changes and upgrades on social media web sites. I look at it this way: it keeps old people on their toes.

[popparoc46]

@mickmusing heh heh heh. Is that your delicate way of telling me I am crotchety?

[silverscreamgrl]

I think Daniel is a big guy, tall. So whatever perceived weight he has ... well, good luck to him. I wish both of you luck.

Re YT new look feedback -- there is a link, I believe, the front page has a 'give us feedback' ..hmm, I looked and it has disappeared. Maybe too many people were giving feedback

[popparoc46]

@silverscreamgrl Yes, I saw that button and gave them lots of feedback! I so much miss the highlight thing. And 'indents' on the comments.

Daniel is a big guy - he's got to be taller than 6 feet, wouldn't you say? He just needs to tone!!!

- roc

[silverscreamgrl]

@popparoc46 My guess is he is at least 6'2". WHen I go to look at the pics I have taken next to him, it is hard to guesstimate since we are all touchy feely peeps and always lean in to one another when taking pics. But there is one Ruthe took that makes him look approx 5-6 taller than me and i'm 5'8"

[popparoc46]

@silverscreamgrl  heh heh - yes, we do lean in, don't we? I like that!

[silverscreamgrl]

@popparoc46 me too :)

[longcara]

Kuddos to you Roc for going to the gym. i am chunky and have loads to lose , i used to excerise a LOT , walk a couple of miles everyday and do all the gardening, but thats out for me at the moment till i get my back op. But the good thing about having diabetes is i no longer eat anything sweet. savory is my downfall, i never minded giving up sweet stuff. i also hate the new layout!!!

[popparoc46]

@longcara It is a long road, the dieting thing. Sometimes, I'd like to just chop it all off!!

I know many people will be able to understand. It is so important to keep moving! - roc

[Jinxie228]

You can do it !!!! I know you can! Hugs!!

[popparoc46]

@Jinxie228 Thanks, Martha! - roc

[fehquig]

Part of my chiropractic care program is doing some exercises... It's a bit difficult to get motivated to do them, but I need to do them in order to avoid future bouts with sciatica.

[popparoc46]

@fehquig Yeah. I have a bad knee and have experienced sciatica. Not any fun at all! And, when I am a lighter weight, everything feels better! - roc

[anmoose]

That's taking on a lot, going back and starting at ground zero again. It's going to be a challenge. (I'm doing well to get in 10 situps...)

I've come close to threatening physical harm to some of the "engineers" over the new designs, and the way they refuse to listen. They're ugly, monochromatic, lifeless, impersonal, and impossible to use, and that's just a start. Everybody hates them, but I have no doubt that we're going to be stuck with them anyway. They don't care what we want anymore.

[popparoc46]

@anmoose Ground zero. Yes. I had almost 50 pounds working with Michael. It is all back. I am PISSED OFF.

If YT would only bring back the highlight on comments I would be a lot happier. I could live with the rest, but it just isn't as much fun. Everything is drab. Just as you say. Why WON'T they listen? Have they made YT for them or for us?

- roc

[thizizliz]

I fixed the synchronization of your voice; I made it snow until it covered your mouth. It worked fine, I just looked deeply into your eyes and tried to send you strength and persistence. 225 situps? Wow!!! Was your tummy flat? I am in awe. Really.

[popparoc46]

@thizizliz My tummy was much smaller, Liz! I could just do those sit ups - bing bang boom! And not feel any muscle issues in the morning. I amazed myself, really. Who knows if I will ever get there again! I hope... - roc

[mysteryglo]

I admire you for going to the gym.. I have a treadmill upstairs and I can't get the energy or will power to go up there and use it, let alone go to a gym..ugh..

I also hate the new channel layout.. I can't see comments that people leave on my channel or on anyone else's unless I make a comment on it! AND I hate that my comments aren't highlighted (like you said) on videos that I comment on so I can find it to re-comment.. :((

Stay in tomorrow and out of the snow!

[popparoc46]

@mysteryglo Oh, I understand, Judy. Right now, I am not really enjoying it... I hope it will become routine!

We really got quite a bit of snow and this afternoon was really beautiful - bright blue skies, sunshine, and all that clean white snow! - roc

[thenudo]

I gave up resolutions years ago! But good luck withn yours! I got 2 thumbskis up fo ya! 

I do need to get back in the gym!! O how.. let me count thy ways! Anytime You Tube tries something new --it always sucks! Thats horrible but - truth!

Hugs Roc!! :)

[popparoc46]

@thenudo Resolutions are made to be broken, Tony! THIS is (shoot me now) - THIS is life change! I have to do it - high blood pressure, bad knee, low back pain... My little body isn't meant to carry the weight!

- roc

[imperceptibleme]

Good luck with the working out Roc. If anyone can do it you can!! 225 situps. Amazing and wonderful. I'm so fat I would have to lose weight to do any kind of exercise besides walking and stretching. I'd kill myself if I didn't. I won't remind you because it's a battle within yourself. I know you can do it!! I do not like the new You Tube either. I'm not changing my channel look unless they force me to change it. Hugs!

[popparoc46]

@imperceptibleme Melissa, the 225 sit ups were done 'way back in 2009. I don't know if I will ever get there again. It will be a battle for the exercise, I think! Already I don't want to go tomorrow. We are in the midst of a snow storm and about six inches have fallen. Good day to stay in for tomorrow!

I switched my channel page back to the old look. - roc

[popparoc46]

@imperceptibleme Thanks, Melissa. It is just like the old cliché: one day at a time. I've had two successful days in a row.

- roc

[wildheart5]

Good for you making it to the gym! Yes, you will probably be sore tomorrow. I guess the best thing about YT is that it is free. The rest is a mess IMO. I am packing and sorting for my move on Wed. God, will I be glad when it is over. I am just overwhelmed right now! I guess that qualifies as exercise! lol

[popparoc46]

@wildheart5 I am feeling a little stiff today, Barb!

I appreciate YT very much, but when they ask for feedback, I wish they would listen just a little!! - roc

[ABQdoubleG]

Great job, day one can be the toughest. I too will be working on some physical exercise, because it gives me more energy :)

[popparoc46]

@ABQdoubleG I am trying not to obsess with food, Gigi! And, you are right. Exercise does give energy. I need lots of that! - roc

[charlambe]

I can't get use to it either and it seems I can't comment that much its always saying I reached my limit.

[popparoc46]

@charlambe I know. It makes me crazy! - roc

[Ultimatecruegirl]

I commend you on doing the exercise. I can not motivate my self to exercise what so ever. I did get just dance for the wii for Christmas, I like to dance so I am hoping that will get me moving. I DO NOT like the utube changes either and the comments thing makes me NUTZ. Cause you know I like to comment and then comment again. I feel like Utube said well we'll fix her and her stinking book long comments. But since it is free I guess I will deal sigh.

[popparoc46]

@Ultimatecruegirl Rose, exercise is one of those weird things. Some love it, some hate it. When I was working with Michael a few years ago, it was fun. Now, I just find it hard, sweaty, painful work.

Yeah. I feel the same way - YT is free, but I do wish they would listen JUST A LITTLE to our feedback! - roc

[NewBoi1980]

Oh, Roc, good for you! I intended to start exercising with the new year, but so far I haven't done a thing today.

I don't like the new YouTube. You used to be able to click on an "x" and close a video you didn't intend to watch. You can't do that any more.

[popparoc46]

@NewBoi1980 I just wish that once the weight is gone, Mike that it wouldn't find its way back!

- roc

[yoyomax12]

I think that the trip is an excellent motivator to get you moving! You will need the energy to run through those airports :) I think once you start, you will get into the habit again and will continue.

[popparoc46]

@yoyomax12 Yeah. ST didn't motivate me - but this seems to be doing the trick! I don't want to have to buy new clothes!!!

AND, this time, we don't have a flight change. Direct flight from Toronto to Hong Kong, which is nice. But, I have enjoyed getting to know the Atlanta airport! - roc

[iwasfrancisd]

225 everyday? Wow.

[popparoc46]

@iwasfrancisd  YES! And they were easy. I had stomach muscles. ... not quite abs... !

- roc

[timido66]

I don't think the mac is out of whack, I think it is iMovie. I wish they would have a new update. I used to do 180 sit-ups everyday, ah, back in the day.

[popparoc46]

@timido66  I agree. I am sure it is iMovie. They better hurry up with the fix!

Yeah. Back in the day! I'll be happy to get up to 100 again.

- roc

[islandGAL7]

: )

[popparoc46]

@islandGAL7 There you are again! - roc

[DeeNeenee]

I don't like all of the changes around here either. You can't find anything, where in the world did they put the subs. I wish they would leave well enough alone.

Exercise bites for a week or two but I know I feel better when I do exercise. Honestly I haven't exercised in years, maybe I should start walking again.

[EdElisea]

@DeeNeene On the channel bar it shows the number of subscribers, and the number of video veiws. Click on the number of subscribers (It's a clickable button), It will, then, display all the subscribers.

EdElisea 01/02/12

[DeeNeenee]

@EdElisea Well thank You!!!



[popparoc46]

@DeeNeenee I'm glad Ed told you about that little click, Dee! I found it by accident. Exercise. Bleh.

- roc

[sjam2007]

I wish it was Tuesday, First day back to work it sucked lol. AH i am always trying to lose and maintain weight, so much easier in the summer when i can go out and walk. I kinda thought "Finally" when i saw the new youtube its about time they changed it, but yea it takes sometime to adjust to the change.

[popparoc46]

@sjam2007 The new YT look is just drab. Not nearly as nice as the look before. But, as you say, we'll all get used to it! - roc

[DebUSA]

EXERCISE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[popparoc46]

@DebUSA YES!! - roc

[EdElisea]

oops I meant 01/01/12 hehe.

[EdElisea]

I kept my channel at the old format because I noticed that my name is not displayed on the new format. Today it was changed to the new format automatically. I think that it is permanently that way. Initially it does look more streamlined, but I still don't like that comments we make aren't highlighted, and I can't find the IRL names of the channel. It also requires clicking around to find what we're looking for, but that will become easier once we learn where to find things.

EdElisea 01/02/11

[popparoc46]

@EdElisea I just switched back to the old look. I imagine that soon enough, we won't be able to do that and the NEW look will be imposed. You're right about the streamlined look Ed, and I like that too, but they just removed so many things that I liked.

Oh well. - roc

[tweetnes]

I need to do some more Physical Exercise for sure. As I sit here eating a cream horn & watching videos =)

i am not happy bout the new YT Channel either

If you give me a push to get in shape I can give you a bit of a push too

BIG HUGS

[popparoc46]

@tweetnes A cream horn. mmmmm. Nice. A lovely cream horn! I will have one in ten weeks and two days.

- roc

[SugarInHisBlood]

You're going to Hong Kong??? My parents went to China. I think they had a wonderful time.

I definitely want to unclutter my life. I've accumulated way too much stuff. Too many clothes. Too many books.

LOL I'd take fried noodles over steamed fish, too.

What I hate about the new Youtube is, you can't delete things off your subscription list. That's the only thing I've griped about.

[popparoc46]

@SugarInHisBlood YES! Hong Kong. My nephew and his wife are there for work for three years and Leesa is about to have their first baby. My sister and I just have to go to celebrate!

The new look for YT is not as colourful as the old one! - roc

[whitsally]

This is the month that everyone gets busy with wanting to improve our physical fitness. I hope to just renew my walking schedule--I refuse to set myself up with expectations that seem to fail one way or another. I enjoy walking which I hope will help to keep me to continue. I just want to feel better, move better and be able to improve my stamina. Using your upcoming trip is a great idea--keep your eye on the prize. One day at a time is all we can do. I'm rooting for you.

[popparoc46]

@whitsally Yes, I was hoping to avoid the January cliché! but NO! I had to wait until the last minute to improve my fitness prior to my trip!

Walking is one of the best things you can do for yourself!

Thanks for the encouragement! - roc

[twish1999]

I've also tried to get to know and like the new youtube channel look, but i can't like it.... i have tried.

I am more physically fit now then i was back in the summer with all the walking i'm doing, i just would hate going to a gym, but walking i enjoy... i suppose we each need to do something we enjoy doing and that way we're more likely to stick with it

[popparoc46]

@twish1999 Hi Trish! sigh. Yes, I have tried. There are just too many things I miss.

The gym is a smelly place, but free-weights are important for my old muscles! - roc

[orbital151]

• "It's not Tuesday." Haha! I wish it were.

• I have never worked on my physical fitness.... Actually, yes I have.... Against my will.

• Noooo! Your lips don't match your voice! I thought you fixed it at first.

• I hate treadmilling. Ellipticaling is easier. They make us do these things at school. Ha!

• It everybody's names where it used to say "About ME" it says "About (insert name here)."

• Good luck with your journey to becoming for physically fit!

[popparoc46]

@orbital151 I have a feeling you will never have weight problems, Trevor! - roc

[lilprincess100010100]

Omg i love watching your videos!! <3

[popparoc46]

@lilprincess100010100 Thanks so much! You made me smile. - roc
