  • Okay so I did days one and two and then was out of town for meetings, not well etc., I couldn’t decide whether I should go back to day three or just start in on seven, but being always one for a challenge I decided to jump back into to today. Actually went not to bad. I spent about 30minutes on the phone which meant I ended up walking around while talking rather than standing in one place so that probably helped. Problem is I am out of town again tomorrow and then on annual leave for a week next week. Looks like I’ll be taking a bit longer to get through the 28 days. I think it is worth it though.

    you’re early 🙂 what’s your location?

    I’d recommend easing into it, it actually does make a difference. I’ve tried before and didn’t make it, now I’m at 75 minutes, and I actually think the gradual increase is “to blame” for this

    and yes, I found that walking around actually is much easier, today I’ve been programming the whole time and I can feel quite some tension in the lower back and my arches, and just moving around a bit (something close to dancing 😀 I blame frisky radio) help a great deal

    anyway, keep it up 🙂

  • Today was easier for me, but mostly because I had a couple of short meetings during my standing time. I usually pace a bit during meetings, so I probably stood still for less than half of the allotted time. Standing is better than sitting, but moving is better than standing.

  • Definitely pace yourself–the 28 days is somewhat arbitrary, but gradually increasing your standing time will help. Keep at it!

  • Not so bad today. Definitely found myself shifting from one foot to the other more but I figure it has more to do with fidgeting than actual weight issues.

  • Today went well. I too was fidgety, but it wasn’t a standing too long thing. I’m trying to train myself to do tasks that i originally think were standing desk friendly (coding, photoshop etc).

  • Nope. Don’t like it. Giving up

  • I’ve survived!

  • done. not too easy today. maybe not distracted enough by work. however, did stand for 2 hours last night skinning a raccoon that killed 3 of my chickens, so there’s that 80)

  • 84 minutes seemed like forever today. I got my new cushy balance pad and stood in my socks on that for about half of the time. Then I *really* wanted to sit down. I think the balance pad is harder on my back because of the balancing, so I only did that part of the time. My back is letting me have it now, so sitting is a relief.

  • I love my standing desk arrangement. I have an adjustable platform and wobble stool from uncaged ergonomics and a terrific Gel Pro mat. The mat makes it much easier to stand for long stretches of time….sometimes with shoes and sometimes without. I do feel a bit more tired at the end of the day…..but not so much to make me sit more.

    Thanks for the motivation to stand and work!

  • Back after the holiday season, I jumped straight into today’s challenge. I was able to do it (around minute 20 I started to flag, so began walking around and that helped). I finally got some “standing shoes”, too, so that is helping. Looking forward to tomorrow!
