Over the summer, I was working out quite a bit. I really wanted to set up habits, lose some weight, and just feel better about my body when the fall semester rolled around. And I did really well. I worked out three to four times a week, building my strength and endurance as I went along. Most importantly, I lost ten pounds and felt great about what my body was becoming again.
Towards the end of the summer, I started slacking off. I went on vacation, then came back for summer finals, then worked full time for two weeks...so I was running all over the place, but not getting any workouts in like normal. Thankfully, I was keeping busy and eating right well enough to not pack back on any pounds. But I didn't like the way it felt.

I hate exercising. I should rephrase that. I hate typical exercise. You know what I mean. Stuff like lifting weights, stair steppers, treadmills, those scary machines, aerobics, jazzercise, and pretty much all the stuff you see at the typical "gym."
And that is the other part of it. Every gym in my neck of the woods feels like you can not enter until you are fit and trim. So yours truly who has a long way to go would feel very out of place until I was a total lean mean D machine.
Of course being a "born again diabetic" I know that exercise needs and should be a part of my daily routine. So how do I make the non-existent gym rat in my come out?
Simple, I find something that I actually like to do and run with that! (READ MORE)

We all know the importance of exercise and the many benefits we get from it. Today I would like to give some ideas about different ways to achieve a solid workout. Many of us have daily or weekly routines that we follow. We spend each workout doing the exact same thing as before. I want to stress the importance of mixing it up.
For example, if you are a die hard cardio fan then try adding in some various resistance exercises. Let's say that you take a walk each morning for 45 minutes. You might walk the exact same trail at the exact same intensity. Next time, consider the following variations.

I bought a treadmill today. I'm quite excited to actually use it soon. But I need a plan that works with my diabetes and helps me stay on track. I think I need to start out slow to get myself into the habit, then I can continue working up from there.
I figure I definitely have two nights a week to myself that I can devote to working out. If I can just create the habit of doing it two times a week, then eventually I can work up to three and four times a week. But it's a matter of setting aside those days to actually do it.

1. Get so mad at yourself for not starting sooner that you randomly pick a day to start without considering what else may be going on in your life at that time that may interrupt your plans.
2. Have one (or more) of your kids get up around 3:30 a.m. for several nights in a row and need a breathing treatment or a snuggle because of a bad dream.
3. Have so much going on that when you wake up at 4 a.m. to take care of the baby (or older child who is a restless sleeper) your mind starts to race, which will make it impossible to go back to sleep until about 20 min. before your alarm goes off. This will also make it easier to fall into bed pretty much any time after dinner and not want to wake up, creating a whole nasty cycle.
4. Participate in meetings that start at 8 a.m. and last until after dinner for nearly a week.
5. Get a chest cold. (READ MORE)

Fitness for any single person, diabetic or not, has to be specific and individually appropriate. I am an ACE certified personal trainer. ACE stands for the American Council on Exercise. I have been in the gym business for many years. I have trained hundreds of people and helped or offered advice to thousands. I have worked in five different gyms over the course of my career and I have trained myself ever since I was about fourteen, basically ever since my body decided that it was time to become diabetic. I have been learning from my own experiences, as well as gathering knowledge from every source imaginable.

Yesterday I talked about how weightlifting was my key to success. It helped improve my life with diabetes on so many levels. I also talked about how my training these days has evolved and become more specific to my ever changing needs.
I want this blog to be about you and your training. I want to use my Blogabetes entry today as a platform for all of you to give a brief description about the types of things that you are doing for your exercise. I understand that not everyone is going to have the same type of answer. I realize that some of you may hardly be doing anything. THAT IS OK! Some of you may be training for a marathon. Some of you may walk around your neighborhood each day. The point that I want to make here is that this IS A GREAT place for all of us to share with one another the types of things that we are doing and how they are affecting each of our lives.

A while back I wrote a post called "My Own Routine." It talked about how traditional exercise does not work well for me. I have to find different ways that do not feel like exercise but still fulfil the need.
Racquetball has been my main source of exercise over the past few months. I love to play but since I have lost a little weight I find I cannot figure out where my BG should be before I start and how much I should change my basal rate on my pump. Last night was racquetball night and thankfully the very first time I made it through the entire game without going low. (READ MORE)

I really tried to work exercise into my evening routine. I really, really did. But my evenings just don’t work for exercise. There’s laundry, dinner, getting kids ready for the next day and a host of other things that just don’t jive with exercise.

You know that internal motivational speaker that I called on the other day? That guy is one mean motha... ahem.
Anyway. I have to endure a speech from that Hell Raiser just about every morning: No, you can't slow down yet... yes, you can make it to the next light pole... deal with the pain, it's good for you... that guy you see running every morning can do this, so can you.
So, the walking routine has been going good. I often really hate it while I'm doing it, which is a feeling I thought would have passed by now because for the most part I really do enjoy the walking. And I'm definitely enjoying what it's doing for my blood sugar management.
