I finally made the switch to a standing desk!  It was a lot easier than I thought it'd be.  Bought the wood from Home Depot for a few bucks, they cut it to my measurements and then it just had to be screwed in.  Why do this?  Here's a great article which explains it.
 
My heels hurt.  It's only day three, I'm gonna hang in there and I should get used to it.
 
Today was the first day of weight training!  I'm good and sore.  I discovered my kettlebell training left me lacking in one vital area, my chest.  I had a difficult time with the bench press  Definitely something I'm gonna work on.
 
I spent a lot of time on the machines but I plan to look up a lot of dumbbell and barbell exercises and start doing those instead.  I just wanted to get acclimated to the weight room today.

Standing desk foot pain

I switched to a standing desk in Feb. I weigh 325 and was worried about hurting my feet. So I got one of these after seeing one used as a door mat in a local restaurant. http://www.katom.com/195-435717.html it is almost an inch thick and the little rubber ring design makes it very cushy. Since getting it I have no pain and my legs feel better too. Hope this helps.

Thanks.  How do they feel when barefoot?  I may have to get one.
