    I started a new job and told everyone that I have a fear of small spaces so the lifts are out of the question! It also means I can't back out of it either! lol

    Great idea to tell everyone about it! Now you gotta take the stairs!

    Thanks, there are some days (like this morning) I was not too impressed but I'm starting to see the results in my thighs!

    I am slowly doing this as well. It is somewhat complicated getting to my office in the morning, but I park on the 3rd floor of a parking garage. I always take the stairs there, down and up. Then when I get close to my building, I climb a flight of stairs. Then after walking down a hallway, there are four more flights to my office. So far, I've been great about the parking garage stairs and the first set of stairs, but I haven't yet braved the four flights to my office. They are steep and I would be dying by the top. Maybe I'll add in a flight this week.

    I am officially banning myself from all elevators. I will walk up and down the stairs from now on, at work, at my apartment, and anytime I take a subway. I live on the 7th floor in my apartment complex, so it will be a bit of a walk, but a good walk. Since the weather is warming up, I am also officially banning myself from taking the bus to the subway station. I can walk. Yall wish me luck!

    I would love to ban myself from elevators (I'm terrified of them after getting stuck in one), however climbing over 30 floors each time I go downstairs is not practical. However, great thinking. 7 floors isn't bad, once you do it a few times. It will get easier!
