RubyRedSox's Journal, 20 December 2011

My son got a kinect. It arrived last night so been having fun with that. I just finished playing Kinect Adventures for about 30 minutes. Activity is so good for diabetes! After 30 minutes my blood sugar is 84 *BIG smiles* I'm sufficiently pooped now and in need of a hot shower and jammies.

Gosh, so busy..I just seem to have very little online time anymore which is actually great. It means I'm able to do those extra things I couldn't do when I was so obese and unhealthy. I mean, sure I'm still in lots of pain and struggle but at LEAST I can do some of these things. Just a few years ago I was all but bedridden. Now my walker collects dust as my balance is much improved.

Anyway, I'm still around. Just busy like most.

Hoping my buds are doing well!

Ruby, I am so happy for you...and I am really, really proud of you...you have made such a big change in your life, and you did it by yourself. Have a great day, my sweet Washington friend! Glad that walker is collecting dust...maybe soon it can be moved to an attic, or better yet donated to someone who isn't mobile! :DD <3<3<3<3<3<3

Hey Bren!!! Hmmm.. we've only 1 kinect game but I have 3 wii games. It's really hard to say. As for the kinect, I like that I don't have to hold the controller as in the wii but they both have really great games that I can physically do. There is more jumping in the kinect game which all I can manage is to hop lol! It's really challenging for me. We downloaded Dance Central (I think that's the one) and I could manage doing the beginning part where as, I have a Just Dance for the wii but there's far too much over head arm movement so I only lasted a few minutes before I felt a flare coming on. I do wish the kinect would come out with a musical walking game like Walk it Out though as I can usually manage that one pretty good most days.♥

Yeah Stef, thought about donating that thing too. Though I do have some nerve damage so I'm not sure. You know, I never thought a year ago I could make this much improvement. My motivation was to control my diabetes more than anything but there has been so many more benefits! L♥ve!!

Aren't you something! I tried a Just Dance video and I couldn't do all the jumping around either or keep up with the instructor. She had more bounce than my old Honda driving down the gravel road to my house. LOL! I am so proud of you. I have the diabetes too and I do need to be where you are right now. Well done!
