Picked the chair sit-to-stands back up like I said I would, and it actually lasted 4 days straight before coffee. Monday and Tuesday were easy, 10 reps before the kettle even finished. Wednesday I had back-to-back meetings starting at 8am and just skipped it, sat straight down at the desk instead. Once I missed that one day it got way easier to skip Thursday too.
Then Thursday afternoon I carried two bags of groceries up from the car and my arms were shaking by the second trip, the exact same thing that got me started on this whole thing in the first place. So clearly nothing’s actually changed yet, 4 days of chair reps didn’t do much.
Friday I didn’t even think about the chair until I was already on my third coffee. I know 4 days isn’t nothing, but it’s frustrating watching something that felt like it was working just slide back into ‘maybe tomorrow.’ The meetings aren’t going anywhere either, same schedule is already sitting on next week’s calendar.
