Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of May! It's the first Sunday of May, a great time to set your goals for the month.
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- What would you like to focus on in May?
- Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- Do you have any goals for next week?
- Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
- If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
- Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals! 
Survived another COVID vax, really hate that I have a bad 24 hours after them.
Bought some padded interlocking floor mats and took them to my "I'm alone in a building desk job" to do basic exercises in between the few minutes of actual work tasks. I think I did about five sets of 10 pushups yesterday along with some random stomach lower back stuff. Feeling pleasantly sore.
Hell yeah, I am also doing microexercises during the shift! I usually do some jumping jacks, push-ups and calf raises. I'm always looking for some simple exercises that I can do during the shift, let me know if you have any recommendations
Mostly for me, its any simple sciatica exercises because I'm old and a bit broken and sitting in uncomfortable chairs slowly makes my back very very angry.
Have you tried using a standing desk? I have been using one for years and it's a life changer. You don't even have to buy a real standing desk, I used to stack boxes on top of each other before I could afford to buy a real one.
Never used one but my desk job doesn't require me to actually sit at a desk for all that long during any particular task, its just when I decide to read a book during the ... literal hours of downtime... that I start to slouch
