Tools To Help My Back
I would first of all like to thank Tamara Ingram for bringing this desk to my attention. She had ordered it and posted about it on FaceBook. I was immediately in love with it. Then when it arrived and she posted a picture of it assembled in her home I ordered it right away from Amazon. It is the Techni Mobili Mobile Laptop MDF Cart with Storage.
I have a bad back. I had to begin seeing my chiropractor over five years ago when I picked up my daughter and my back went out on me. It felt like someone walked up behind me and hit me with a taser gun in my back. I was anti-chiropractor for many, many years. But after I saw him and he helped get me back on my feet again I truly believe in the practice. It is because of Dr. Pat that I have been able to continue to run despite having such a bad back.
Recently, because of work and some projects I have been working on at home, I have been sitting too much. Sitting is the new smoking epidemic. There was a recent magazine report in Runners World I believe, that talked about how you can be an avid, active runner and run 7 miles a day; but once you get to work, you sit. But first, you drive to work, then you sit once you are there. Then you drive home, maybe work out, and then site on the couch.
Dr. Pat and I were talking about how the Fitbit is great for letting us know how active we are, but there should be a sitbit to make us aware of how inactive we are and to force us to get up and move around. I have fallen victim to too much sitting this week while working on a few projects. Because of that my back which was already acting up last week, gave me more trouble. I ordered this desk for when my husband finishes up our new room and office; I will have a standing work station. When I work from home I stand at the kitchen counter and work. But sometimes I will move my laptop to the kitchen table and sit and work. That’s my bad and I have to not do that or not do it for as long. However, at the end of the day when the family is watching America’s Got Talent and I want to still work on my blog or other research, I don’t want to shut myself out from the rest of the family. So now I can wheel this cute desk into the living room and still stand while I work!
The desk has wheels, a small footprint, a nice wood grain appearance and the top desk platform can be raised and lowered based on your height requirements. It also has some storage cubbies with shelves.
So thank you Tamara for sharing this and helping my save my back but still be able to work and spend time with my family!
