I just read this blog post about stand-up and walking desks and realized that I hadn’t posted a picture of my home stand-up desk. I needed something less complicated at home so I purchased a bit of Ikea furniture to raise the monitors and used the original desk shelf to raise the keyboard. Worked like a charm.
Some friends saw my Microsoft badge the other day and noted how different I look compared to 2006, before I lost a great deal of weight (about 75 pounds). Here are three photos from vacations in Hawaii showing what I looked like before and after. In case you are wondering, I still wear the hat in the first photo.
2006 (around 240 pounds)
2007 (down to around 170)
2009 (holding between 165 and 170)
Check out www.beyondthewhiteboard.com – really neat Crossfit website. It has an encyclopedia of workouts cross-referenced by movement. I find that really handy; on the days that I work out at home, I’ll often want to do a workout that includes some movement that I haven’t done in a while or includes some piece of equipement I have. So, for example, I could find all of the workouts that include ring dips. Just doing that quick lookup, I found a couple of new workouts that I can do at home. Well done!
