Improvement, but not completion
2 days ago
I’m more cognizant of the problem now, but I’m still nowhere close to where I need to be with proper posture. There is still much room for improvement here.

It made me
surprised 
How I did it: I tried a number of ways actually. I looked in the mirror and tried to always consciously straighten my back... while this helped it usually didn't last long.By accident I found by really working my upper body and abs was the best thing I could do for my posture. When I work out my back through punching/chinups/pushups, I not only walk out of the gym aching, but standing rigidly straight. With my abs, pilates is the way to do it. It pulls… Read how I did it…

It made me
more poised, i guess
How I did it: Well, I'm kind of self-conscious about my stomach. I noticed that if I sit up straight, it looks flatter. So that was my motivation lol. I definitely don't slouch like I used to. I might lean back in a chair or forward on a desk, but my back's still straight, so that's good. But I still have curves in my spine. I'll worry about that later, though. Read how I did it…

fantastic!
How I did it: I followed some of the guides listed by other users. What helped me most was the exercise where you always make sure that your shoulders aren't falling forwards. The more I notice other people with bad posture, it always seems to be that they have their shoulders forward. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Simply learning to maintain your awareness and correct your posture when it gets poor is enough, at least for me. Certain habits, such as sitting too far forward in chairs, are difficult to overcome but it is worth doing for the sake of your back. I don't think this is something I've actually "done" so much as increased my awareness of, since I'll always have to watch for it. Read how I did it…
It made me
straight-backed
How I did it: A while back, my chiropractor suggested I do some neck-muscle exercises to straighten up my posture. These are accomplished by standing straight with your back against the wall, and slowly tightening your neck muscles and bringing your head back against the wall. Always look straight forward when doing this, and only do 10-20 of them per session, and only 3 sessions a day at the most, else you'll have a severely sore neck. Read how I did it…

So this seems to be one of my more urgent goals, since most of them are more “open ended” goals. But also because in my left shoulder I’ve got some sort of calcium build up. my should almost looks like its out of joint and there’s a big knob between the ball joint and the shoulder blade. I’m not sure if I should go see a doctor or just go to gym more? But its not comfortable at all anymore…

Right now I am actually slouching in my chair on purpose. Proves how much control I have over my posture now.

Plan for getting better posture
1 week ago
I’ve always had a problem with bad posture at the computer desk, drawing board, in the car and basically anytime I sit down somewhere. It seems to be more of a bad habit than anything because I can achieve good posture for a couple of minutes, but after a while I begin to slump over again. The problem is in my rounded shoulders and arched back. I plan to have better posture from now on and hopefully I will be able to break this habit by being constantly conscious of it.
GOAL: 1 month (December 13, 2009)

I am slacking again

So I made this a goal again, already. I know, I know. I walk with very good posture. It is just when I am on the computer. I don’t have a desk and chair so it makes it hard and easy to go back. So this is a goal I have. To master perfect posture…again!

As long as I am on here writing entries I will always remember to improve my posture. lol. Didn’t think this website would help that much, but it actually is.
This is difficult

Sitting up straight doesn’t come naturally, although I think I may have sat up straight more when I was young. I’ve just got to try and remember, it seems “easier” to slouch, but it’s not better.
