Suzy Homemaker is officially ballin'!
UrbanDictionary.com offers these definitions for 'ballin':
Ebonics.
1.) To play basketball. (b-ball)
2.) Living in affluence/wealth.
I am 6' tall and get asked if I play(ed) basketball all of the time... No, I have not nor do I actively play basketball. Thanks for asking. Do you pay mini-golf?
I definitely don't consider myself living in wealth or affluence, though I feel very blessed. So, how is Suzy Homemaker ballin'? I am sitting on a ball. Yup, I am ballin' at work.
Let me explain. I have recently be able to work from home everyday instead of traveling everyday. Hello yoga pants! But I digress... Working from home, I have been spending hours upon hours in the same chair.
The chair. It is a beautiful parson's chair. Straight back, straight seat. Horridly uncomfortable for long term sitting. I have noticed that my posture was suffering more than it usually does and my legs were going to sleep on a regular basis. No bueno.
So, Suzy Homemaker bought a ball. And yes, I am bouncing/balancing/sitting on it right now. And no, I haven't fallen off it - yet (I am sure it is going to happen). Some sources claim that you will burn calories by sitting on it - and I would have to agree. Now, I am not talking I am going to start skipping my yoga classes burning calories - but I am moving throughout the day, even it is tiny movements without thinking. I have also noticed that I am correcting my posture and my legs have not fallen asleep once since I started ballin'!
Now this is not some magical or special ball, it is the same ball that you would used in the gym and I got it for less than $20 at my favorite store, Amazon! It has been a game changer at "work". Best part, when I am done for the day, I just roll it under my desk!
I may look like a fool sitting on this ball, bouncing as I work on my laptop and lead conference calls - but I feel better, and that is what counts in my book.
Are you ballin'?
