Hello and happy Friday!
I have a fabulous guest post about strength training coming later today, but wanted to stop in quickly first with a few announcements, including the winner of my Easy Canvas Prints giveaway!
First up — remember a few weeks ago when I wrote about the One Small Change I Made to Improve My Health — creating a standing up desk at home, or my “perch”, as Matt calls it?
Well, I made one at my internship this week, too! 
It may not be beautiful, but it gets the job done, heh 
Now I can stand when I am tired of sitting, and sit when I’m tired of standing! Win/win.
I sent a photo of my internship “perch” out on Twitter a couple days ago and have since heard back from a bunch of you that I’ve inspired you to create your own makeshift standing up desks at work and home, too! I was thinking it would be fun to do a post featuring photos of all of your “perches” — if you created a standing up desk, please send me a photo (anne @ fannetasticfood . com)! I’d love to share it on the blog

And now for my wraparound canvas print giveaway winner! Thank you all so much for entering — I loved reading about all the beautiful photos you want to display in your homes.
Drumroll, please! The winner (selected using Random.org) is…
Congrats, Jill! I hope you smile every time you look at the picture Please send me your full name and mailing address at anne @ fannetasticfood . com.
I’ll be back later this morning with the guest post — stay tuned, it’s a good one!
I have the perfect kitchen counter perch set-up at home. I’ll be taking a pic later
What a great idea. I do this at home, but I don’t know how well it would go over at the office. :p
Send me a picture of your home set up!
Unfortunately my computer is mounted to my desk at chair level. I asked my boss if we could look into getting desks that accomodate standing and she looked at me like I had 3 heads:(
Aw, man! We can only hope some day that the general public will come around to the idea of better health…
I think you’ve convinced me to try a stand up desk! Ive been thinking about it for a long time now. I get the worst back pain when I sit at my desk!
Oh and gorgeous pic of you too
Dooo it! And then send me a photo
It’s seriously made me so much happier to have the option to stand when I blog/work instead of always having to sit. It’s easier to focus, too, since I’m not as fidgety!
Congratulations Jill. I have been searching for the winner all weekend. I seriously need new glasses.
