Kerri, our buddy ol' pal here at Blogabetes, sent us bloggers some writing prompts the other day. One prompt that hit home with me was writing about what people can do during these cold months to stay active and keep the pounds off. It is a natural process for us as humans to throw on a few extra lbs as the cold weather starts to approach. With that in mind, I for one, really enjoy working out in MY VERY OWN LIVING ROOM. Even as dedicated as some of us are to working out, it is still a pain to get out into the cold. Nobody likes running to their car, scraping the ice off, and waiting for it warm up just to drive to the gym!! It is hard enough for people to be motivated on the warm days. That's where your living room and your creativity come into play.

Exercise! Do something! I can’t tell you how life-changing exercise and fitness is for me…but I’ll try!
So this morning I woke up, had some coffee and some breakfast, and then worked for 3 hours or so until I felt it was time to get in some physical activity. Since I’m in Florida at the moment I really am enjoying taking advantage of working out in the sun. It feels so good and I love that the sun aids in improving my circulation in my feet and my entire body. Definitely something that you guys out there can relate with.

Tags: diabetes at work disclosure to tell or not to tell
Views: 1437
Recently, a woman at work discovered I have diabetes. I don't hide the fact that I have it at work, but it's not readily apparent. In the interest of safety, I've told several key people outright - and the folks in the near vicinity of my work space know because I don't hide my testing, pumping, or other efforts toward good control. If someone asks, I am usually happy to answer questions, clear up misconceptions, or alleviate concerns.
L, who works on the other side of our fairly large office, and who I don't see that often, came to my desk the other day and rather unceremoniously started into a monologue about my diabetes, It went something like, "Oh, Nicole" Look of concern, "A just told me about your diabetes. You have the bad kind, don't you? You have to take shots and things. Oh it must be so hard with having it the way you do. You have to stay away from sweets and I bet the shots hurt a lot."
Oh Dear. What to do? (READ MORE)

I made my four work-outs this week! Â Yay me! I am pretty sore tonight, it might qualify for Tylenol before bed. Â We've been back from vay-cay (vacation) for 1 week tonight. Â Routines are settling back in, all the laundry's done, etc, etc.
I was sore yesterday too, but I keep reminding myself that this is good. Â Plus the exercise seems to open my lungs better than any other bronchitis treatment. Â My trainer has me moving to body-weight exercises, also known as resistance exercises. Â I wasn't familiar with the term but I sure remember the exercises - squats, lunges, push-ups, crunches, etc. Â They do seem to make you more evenly sore than the machines or free weights. They are nice too because they require nothing but your own body. Â Can't very well give the excuse "I don't have time to go to my own body"!Â

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.

Yesterday I wrote a blog called, "New Adventure". I want to say "thank you" to everyone who took the time to comment on it and thanks to everyone else who continue to visit my site and follow with me in my experiences. This whole thing continues to blow my mind and without all of you it wouldn't be possible. (READ MORE)

There's something about the intense cold of winter that seems to inspire me to get outside and walk. At insane hours of the morning. Like, before the sun actually comes up. Like, it's still dark when I come back from my walk!
Last winter, I thought about how badly I wanted to reestablish my morning walk with the dog. Usually, it was when I had been sitting at my desk for a long stretch staring at a computer screen. My legs would alternate bouncing up and down like what? And I would start to notice that I felt like sludge because of all the crap I had eaten all day. That's when I would think, "Gee, a walk sure would be good; I think I'll start tomorrow." (READ MORE)

Exercise can be a really tricky thing when you're diabetic. Whether you're starting a new routine or just changing up an old one, it's tough to manage blood sugars alongside cardio and resistance training. The ups and downs add an extra edge to the difficulty of staying in shape.
Last week, I decided to try some new exercise classes which sent my blood sugars into a tailspin. Luckily, I was able to lower my insulin and fend off the lows...but I wasn't able to achieve the balance that I crave. This week I'm still working hard to get back into shape (and lose some more weight)...but mostly I'm trying to find that medium ground between the highs and lows of exercise.

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.

The CGMS seems to be working out okay this time around. Maybe my numbers are more stable. Maybe it's just a "fresher" sensor. Maybe it's just the heavens smiling down on me for once. But since Saturday night, I've had very few bumps in the continuous monitoring road.
