This & That | Blogging is Bad For Your Back

True story, being a blogger causes MAJOR back problems. Are there any other bloggers with me on this one? Or anyone who spends a lot of time at a computer for that matter?

I have known for years my posture is less than stellar, I may or may not have even been referred to as the hunchback of Notre Dame, #ouch. My chiro has been telling me for years that if I don’t start taking preventative action I will have problems in the near future.

Naturally, I didn’t listen & just went along slouching my way throughout the day w/o a care in the world.

The near future arrived in the past month, & I have been in a world of hurt.

So, the first stop of the weekend was the Healthy Back Store where I got schooled in everything I was doing wrong, all while melting into the most insane massage chair of all time (I’ll def. be back just to sit in the bad boy for 10 minutes).

Anyways, I ended up leaving the store with: new mattress (the fact I’ve been w/o a Tempurpedic this long blows my mind, game changer!), laptop riser so I am not looking down at the screen, orthopedic back support for my desk chair, foot rest for my desk (??), a memory foam lumbar pillow for the car, & strict instructions to move from the couch to the desk when working.

Yes, I work from my couch & yes, it’s horrendous. Breaking habits are hard, but I am proud to stay I have been working majority of the time at my tricked out new desk, which will be on the blog shortly w/ a fun desk DIY!

If you guys have ANY tips to keep my back on point, please please please help a girl out!!!
