Working out with a stability, or Swiss ball, is an awesome way to get a good workout. If you're not familiar with what a stability ball is, then you can look it up on your computer or stop by a sport store. They are large rubber balls that allow you to work on numerous things. Their sizes range from 35 cm to 85 cm depending on the types of movements you want to do. Some of the benefits include balance, stability and core exercises, and they are also great to stretch on. Brynn just bought one for relatively cheap at our local Wal-Mart. If you decide to buy one, you have the option of purchasing the nicer name brand models, but from my experience, a rubber ball is a rubber ball. Anyway, this morning, I found myself working out on our stability ball and it felt wonderful!

Some days it seems the world is ganging up on me. Since my baby was born, I have read something about the importance of exercise nearly every day. Even USA Weekend has a column this week about exercise as a weapon to fight Type 2 diabetes.
30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week - that's what everyone says. How hard is that to fit in? To judge by my life, you'd think it was an unachievable goal.
I easily waste 30 minutes a day (probably several times) that could be diverted to exercise. What I've been reading tells me that I can even break it into 3 10-minute segments. I live in a semi-rural area where I can safely walk with no problem. I own a dozen or more exercise DVDs, and the stability ball, yoga mat, hand weights and elastic bands to go with them.

The JDRF Promise Ball is coming up in just a matter of two weeks! I can't believe it's already here. I don't feel prepared at all. Sure, I've been fundraising for months and getting all that in order. But the rest of me isn't prepared to take a night to remember diabetes for the past year of my life.

 

Last year's Promise Ball was absolutely amazing. I took three of my friends with me; we got to dress up, valet park my car and eat a fancy dinner. As amazing as it was, it still brings me to tears today (almost one year later). Because the most amazing part was seeing how much was raised in one single night to find a cure for diabetes.
