At work one day, the evil elevator got stuck on me. I have been taking the stairs a lot since then, LOL. Plus, I live on the second floor in a house where I rent a room, so I go up and down this flight at least a couple times a day. Stair climbing seems to work the butt muscles

I also have been performing different tasks each day at work, so my muscles are not getting used to specific movements. I am working more of them this way. One day I may be on rooms, another day I making beds, the next is spent stripping out rooms and doing extras, and then I might 100% a room. I am always very busy.

Then, when I get home I will walk (If it is a nice day) or take out the ThighMaster.

I am still noticing some slimming of my sides from my underarms to my waist. Yay!!!!

The purchase of a small crock pot is allowing me to prepare healthier meals in this room. I do not have a full kitchen, and am less than skilled at using a toaster oven and microwave. The crock pot is turning out to be a real benefit for me

I have completely surpassed my total steps for a year goal.

On June 15, 2012 I decided that I would take at least 3650000 steps over a 1 year period. I have surpassed this goal by over 200,000 steps already and have stopped keeping track. I walk a lot, and I take a great many steps at work each day. I am pleased with this

Have a great day! Challenge yourself to meet a goal, and be surprised and happy when you surpass it. The trick is not to stop just because you reach that goal.
