Pentagenarians & Beyond : W/B 8/16

Today I did Raw Virtual Box and Legs 62 minutes, heart rate 132/166, 334 calories, 5,739 steps. I had the grandchildren here today. I will try to get back here and catch up in awhile. Here is a rundown of the workout. I may have it a bit off though.
I may not hear about Kelly's workouts as much as I cannot get back on facebook now without giving out an id and birthdate, full name etc. No way do they need that info. I am not doing it. If I could find a way around it I might stay, but I doubt it.

Virtual Box and Legs 1 hour heavy dumbbells Kelly 15's and egg weights used for the boxing
I used 15's and 2# dumbbells
w/up
boxing with running and jacks
heavy weights squats
1 side lunge alternating

repeat heavy weight squats and alternating side lunge

boxing scissors
repeat heavy dead lifts, frog squats

heavy alternating reverse lunges
boxing
heavy side to side squat

Judy, that is great that everything went well for your husband. I really could feel the effects of All About Glutes yesterday. That is why I waited to do the virtual workout I did today.

Deb, I think Kelly gets some help with some of the other ladies and the one that is an administrator on her Train Smart facebook group. They have a folder on the facebook group with a lot of info and the rotations hand there as well. Nice work on Live Burn Sets. I know when I did live workouts I wrote the moves down and have a notebook with the ones that I did in it. It is really time consuming when starting a workout not done before and having to write it all out. Sometimes when I do them I preview and jot down moves and just make adjustments during the workout, but that is still extra time spent.

Valerie, some people love living like that. I know they have those downtown here and people like it. They have access to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, the river walk etc.. I seems miserable to me. I would like to be far away from my neighbor that I can go sit outside without feeling I am being watched. Not happening where I am, but that is how I feel. High rises seem ridiculous when you think about hauling up groceries and stuff. Probably community mail boxes. Nope, not pleasant at all.

Carolyn, nice work with Walk Strong 3 Intervals. I liked that one. I have heard a lot about Travis Elliot, but never done any of his yoga. I will probably have to miss workouts next week a couple of times unless I want to be up at 5. I am taking my granddaughter to the dentist Thursday and Tuesday is a run off vote. I will have to leave the grandchildren with my husband to go to vote. Not sure if I will go in with my granddaughter for dentist or sit in the car with the 6 year old. I don't have masks here for them so need to talk to my daughter. I know she has some.

Lori, I am so glad that Gigi did so well for you on this trip :)

Cathy, when my husband was out of country I took my car to the car wash and had them vacuum and wash while I waited, all of the time. My husband goes to one you sit in the car at most of the time, but it does not get the bugs off so well since he gets a lot on his black car driving to work at night. Ends up coming home and cleaning it some more.
I hate it when I wake up like that. This week has been hard as I keep getting to bed around 12 after cleaning and stuff and waking up early for the grandchildren. It would not be so bad if I didn't wake up off and during the night.
 
Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I did ICE Rock'm Sock'm with the blizzard blast, muscle meltdown triceps and Icy Core 2. Today I did a 5 K run.

Deb-Great job with Live Burn Sets! I love those workouts! Yes, Chris was really glad to have the colonoscopy over with.

Carolyn-Nice job with WS3 Cardio HiiT and the Ultimate Yogi Yoga Foundations. I really need to get that one!

Valerie-Great ride! I love Metabolic Total Body too. I've been really enjoying the ICE workouts recently.

Cathy-I'm sorry about the sleep :( I know that is rough. I definitely couldn't workout on 3 hours. I feel ok if I get 5.5-6, but I try to get closer to 7.

Diane Sue-Great job with Raw Virtual Box and Legs! I think I will try that one soon. I must have given FB that information already since they haven't asked me for anything different when I log in. When did they ask you for the information?

Hi to Lori!
 
Judy, they just did it today. I got on this morning, but there was not a workout for today yet up on Train Smart to post my workout. Just something about a weekend challenge. Then this evening I was going to check so I could log in and facebook won't let me on. They want an ID like voters card, drivers license, government stuff, bank account, things I am not willing to give out to use facebook. My husband tried to find me a way around it. I only use it for the check in, Kelly, and to talk to my brothers and friends on facebook. It makes me mad!!
 
Diane Sue, that doesn’t make sense with Facebook. They should not ask for that kind of information. I would report it if possible. Do you think that your account was hacked?
 
Diane Sue-I was thinking what Carolyn was thinking. Facebook should never ask for bank account information or driver's license. It sounds like your account might have been hacked.

Here are a couple of help articles from Facebook regarding what might be happening:

we had cousin for a last lunch for a while. they are busy with final packing visiting other family, and then heading off.
I didn't grow up with air conditioning but it sure makes unpleasant heat more bearable. when I first started working in my teens that was the first thing I saved my money for, a room air conditioner since I had the extremely hot upstairs bedroom. and then the next door neighbors complained that it was "noisy" so I couldn't run it often.

cloudy and showery today, I will get caught up on grocery shopping. garden is generating a lot of vegies.
 
This morning I did ICE Chiseled Upper Body for 47 minutes and 161 calories burned. My average heart rate was 102 and maximum heart rate was 137.

Judy, great job with Rock’m Sock’m and the 5k run.

Diane Sue, I hope that you find out what is happening with your Facebook account. I would be upset too.

Valerie, we didn’t have air conditioning growing up. I look back now and wonder how we made it through summers without it.

Hello to Deb, Cathy, and Lori.
 
This morning I did RWH Lift it Hit It Back, Biceps and Shoulders. My triceps are still a bit sore from Tuesday! Triceps and chest are two areas that I often end up sore. Back and shoulders sometimes and biceps pretty much never.

Diane Sue hope you get the FB thing figured out. Since when do they want ID? Okay found the answer to my question and they been doing it for years. Maybe this would help you find something more benign to use to prove who you are. https://www.cleveland.com/moneymatt...or-other-proof-of-identity-money-matters.html

I'm really bad about going into a workout blind. I've never been much on previewing things. Sometimes the does come back to bite me.

Judy good job on the run and workout. That's a fun workout.

Carolyn great workout. I didn't live anywhere with air until I was in my mid-30's and we moved to where we are now. I look back and wonder how I survived. Fans, cold drinks, cold showers and baths from what I remember.

Back to my window cleaning. Fun times.
 
I did Raw Body Fit, 44 minutes, 201 calories, heart rate 121/164, 3,096 steps. Followed it with Step Boss extended lying stretch, 10 minutes, 11 calories, 35 Steps?? Total time 55 minutes, 212 calories, 3,134 steps. I had my grandchildren here today and have been busy all day. My husband has to work tomorrow day time hours when he is usually off so need to get to bed early. Hope I sleep as last night was terrible. I ate dry mouth drops every hour, drank water, and kept having to adjust my neck roll and pillows as my neck really hurt. I was sitting here with my granddaughter nodding off this afternoon. I kept having to get up and walk around to wake myself up and keep going. Why is it that late evening I get a second wind or something? I just want to sleep.

Judy, that second thing you posted on there is only part of the list they sent me and they want my full name, birthday and the id with photo. My husband set me up using one of his accounts as he dropped off of facebook several weeks ago. He changed it up to another name for me. We think it may be because I have always used my intitials plus the word America as my name. They say they want proof that I am who I say that I am. I don't think they need that much information. I don't post a lot. I mainly follow my brothers and Kelly's Train Smart. I sometimes like peoples posts. I follow Cathe somewhat. I don't believe I post anything that should be negative. Anyway, I thought at first it was a new thing for everyone when it happened. But then my husband said he could still get on. I talked to my brother last night on the phone and he is still on. So it is targeted at me I guess.

Valerie, that is not right that they would make you not run your air unit because it makes too much noise. That is crazy rude. When I lived in Southern California as a child we did not have air. We lived in the desert. I never thought much of it though and played outside most of the time. Then between 7 and 10 I was in England and no air. Back to the US in Colorado with no air. When we moved to Arizona we had an air unit on the roof. It did not run often, but summers when it was extremely hot my parents used it. I remember my Dad having to climb on the roof to work on the condenser. The most miserable heat I ever lived in was down in Houston Texas area. Terrible humid high heat. We rented a mobile home for a short time with no air. I was so glad to move away from there.

Cathy, that is exactly what I got and that crazy list. I think it is way too much of my right to privacy to use them for what I do. I am not posting crazy stuff over all of these years. I have had several say they were not able to post for a day or two just because they liked some political post which is ridiculous. If I don't like what I see, I put hide all from this or I don't want to see this. I feel I should be able to like whatever I want to. My husband got me back on with a new name and cut off most of my friends for now except my family members and Kelly Coffey. I told him I can look at Cathe without a friend link for now. It really is disconcerting. A lot of those things they ask for there is just no way at all. They are overstepping with it all.
Thanks for posting that link. Also the post office and informed delivery is so so that I saw on the bottom. They make me angry though when I mark a piece of mail that I did not get or tell them a package did not come and do the stuff and they never respond afterward. USPS does not do a good job on anything. I have found our mail in the bushes and neighbors mail lying in the street before. Just another thing that really irritates me as we are forced to use community mail boxes that leave me with wet mail when it rains. Glad we don't have to pull out wet pay checks anymore. I don't preview often. I get new dvds and I just dive right in most of the time. Sometimes with Kelly's Raw workouts though, I do preview and write down the weights and moves to save time when I do the actual workout. I can watch and jot down from my tablet while doing other stuff on the laptop. Works well for me.

Carolyn, nice work with Chiseled upper body. I will miss Facebook if I keep having those kind of problems. It will be back to email and phone with family I guess. I won't be able to watch church of facebook though and they were having problems when they tried to do it on youtube. This has been a first for my church. They had to get cameras and work on getting things set up and in working order.
 
I do very little with facebook. I certainly don't get news there! there are a few community groups I subscribe to that post updates only on fB, so I keep it going to see community news from MT, and also for the tree farm where DH and I mt bike. Cathe occasionally.
with all the Russian interference in the election in 2016, social media was a target and fB a big factor. I imagine this is an attempt to try to get ahead of fake news stories getting posted on fB. I almost never post anything, but use it to see pictures from family I dont have any other contact with. long ago I think it was the source of a hack, so I signed up false information. so far I havent had requests to change anything, but I use it mostly to view updates those groups post.

I think I had air conditioning when I was in college, but it was an apartment with a window unit. nothing that worked very well. I didn't ride in a car with air until I was in my mid 20's when I went to CA. we used to absolutely COOK out in the sun on the highway. it sure changed desirable places to live! who would live in FL or AZ or TX without air? Obviously people always did but air conditioning made barely tolerable places way more pleasant.

This morning I did Step Sync combos 1 and 2 for 33 minutes and 254 calories burned. My average heart rate was 132 and maximum heart rate was 155.

I use Facebook for food, fitness, and faith. Our church services are there. I don‘t click any links unless it’s a known site like Cathe or Chris Freytag and I never post anything. I would never use them as a news source. They say that they are trying to be more aggressive in finding false identities and information.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Facebook Braces Itself for Trump to Cast Doubt on Election Results (Published 2020)

The world’s biggest social network is working out what steps to take should President Trump use its platform to dispute the vote.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

this is a link to an article at the NYT about fB's strategy for dealing with possible corruption and mis information in the upcoming the election.... especially if disputes develop about the legitimacy of the vote. I hope you can access it but Im not sure. it was in the technology section of the paper. it might help understand WHY fB is requesting more info. I am a minimal user. use it to access what I cant get any other way.
I know we don't talk politics. this is more about why fB might want more information.. I agree that you could have been hacked. I got hacked via facebook many years ago, and that turned me off to using it much. I never could see how it happened since I hardly ever used it,

Today I did X Train Tabatacise, 45 minutes, 231 calories, heart rate 128/161, 4,347 steps. I then did Kelly's Box Fit workout # 2 no lower mix and also skipped chest and shoulders. This was 17 minutes, heart rate 107/125, 52 calories, 501 steps. I finished off with Lindsey Samper yoga therapy, 26 minutes, 23 calories, 33 steps. I did the chair stretch and the back one which was predominantly core moves like bird dog, bridges, and reverse crunches. Total time was 88 minutes, 306 calories, 4,881 steps. It is ridiculous as I can't even get my heart rate up enough to get decent calories doing Tabatacise. I used the step with two risers and I only did a few of the jumping moves on the rebounder(like tuck jumps) Oh, well. My legs are sore from Kelly's workouts this week

Carolyn, nice work on Step Sync. I use Pinterest and the internet for most food stuff that I read. My fitness groups that I have belonged to were all invitation private groups.

Valerie, I don't think I was hacked. I think that facebook is biased and I may have liked someone elses post or I followed someone that is not on the side facebook leans toward. So I am pretty positive that is it. Once I took America off of my name I am on again. Just saying. I am not wanting to talk politics and I don't post it on facebook either. I did look at the article though, thank you. That is not a good excuse for facebook to need my personal information like that. I never give out my actual name. Here I really am my first name, but that is it. I have been on Cathe for many years. Way before all of these forums. I followed her when she had a small group of 200. Back in the Firm Days. I think people need to really look for themselves ask questions and find answers before they vote rather than just choose a party. We voted independent once.
I was hacked on Body Building.com once. As far as I know they never made the woman or whoever it was get off of my page. I pulled it up a couple of times and the she?? was talking to guys on my page. I had quit using it. I did not have a lot on there other than goals and workouts along with some nutrition stuff.
I did report it, but went back there some months later and she was still there.
It is nice that you can check on your area and the tree farm for riding and stuff. I use Nextdoor neighbor and my Specific Neighborhood group. Most of the time though I just look at my email and if there is something I want to check out that is posted I go through there to the internet rather than facebook.
 
Diane Sue-I was hacked on Body Building.com too. I had a blog on there in 2006-2007. Someone hacked into it and started posting on my account. I reported it but I don't think they did anything. I haven't been back on there in years.

I did chiseled upper body and the ab workout, Abs 2. plus a couple hours of garden work.

we just had an attempted hack via Amazon yesterday. we got an "order" for $400+ merchandise supposedly to our account for someone in texas. we knew we didnt place it but called amazon security rather than use the link on the "order". it looked EXACTLY like a real amazon order. we order a lot thru amazon, but we were surprised.... it looked authentic. no typos or other mistakes. amazon security said it was a phishing scam, and our pw and account was fine but the crooks are getting better and sneakier. the fB hack had my name and pw, and started sending me phony emails, all from people on my fB friends list. I changed my account info ( I use a fictional birthday) and made a complex pw and eventually it stopped. I did not want to change my actual email address.

I wish fB stopped accepting political ads. it gets worse every election. but if they are trying to root out bots? I imagine there are certain things they look for. there is no reason in the world to give them a CC#. I learned early on not to use my real personal information and I'm sure many people do the same.
