White cheddar & crackers today.
Just for my dearest vols, I'll talk more about my exercise ball. Did you know there are different sizes of these giant balls? I didn't. When I bought my set, I assumed the ball would fit me. Pbbbt. When you sit on it, your hips are supposed to be above your knees. Mine are level with my knees (which means my butt actually drops below my knees). Last night I perused balls & found that my size is for people 5'0-5'3. They were out of the next size, but there was one for people 6'0-6'3. So now, I must buy a new ball. Mine works ok for crunches & floor based work, but I could do more if I had a proper sized ball. I haven't watched the video, but have been following the book. The pics in the book are good, but I have to read the instructions carefully, it's very pilates focused, so direction of breathing matters a lot when you are doing the exercises. I like that you don't have to do a ton of reps. You can do a lot of different exercises in a short period of time. I'm not getting bored during the routines...yet anyway.
I can't do the exercise where you put the ball between your feet & raise it overhead (without bending your knees) so your body & legs form an "L" shape. Heck, my flexibility & back muscles are barely good enough to do that without a ball. Instead, I lift it a little off the ground & hold for 5 reps.
After my core is strengthened, I need to focus on some exercises that help my flexibility.
So now on to clothes. Based on my observations at work this morning: Two things that look good on very few people are velour jogging suits and lemon yellow mini skirts.

So I should throw out my yellow velour jogging skirt?
And I just got bought it too. Damn.
I would pay to see that.
I recommend "Yoga for Dummies" for the flexibility part. No, really. It's really easy to follow and you'll know 12 yoga poses at the end. There's even an advanced workout part that puts some of the poses together in a series. You do have to put up with lame attempts at humour, though.
I like Pilates, too. You can't see my abs or anything, but I'm sure they're stronger.
Anyway, good for you for doing your ball exercise things. Go, kim, go!
I didn't make it any further than "giant balls" ...
I would've been disappointed, HD, had you not been distracted by that statement.
Seana-thanks for the tip! I'll check that out!
Where do keep your giant balls? Because you don't deflate & inflate them every time, right? So you have giant balls rolling around? And aren't they always some bold, primary color?
Maybe HD knows where to keep giant balls? And? From now on? I am going to put a question mark at the end of every sentence, ya know? Just for fun? Why not? Who's here to stop me?
*flicks swami's question marks off the page*
I keep them in my closet stuffed in a corner (I have a big closet). I have not purchased a bigger ball yet, but the huge one from yesterday was white.
Thanks for the tips on the exercise balls. I am an Exercise Ball virgin, but might have to try this.

With this crowd, I am quite confident that I *do* have the biggest balls. Well, except maybe for Carey.
No carey just has the big salami
All this ball and salami talk a person could get excited. LOL!

I think you need a blue ball.
And? There's a song called Big Balls in Cowtown. It's about Fort Worth, Texas!
And, I think we need Coco over here with her Punctuation Police impersonnation.

I actually have nothing else to add.
I have a black exercise ball and it has its own room. I take a ball class at the gym on Mondays. We also use the BOSU balance trainer in the class (google it).
