NNS, you're right! Perhaps I can find another way. Okay, I've certainly been up and down all day so I'm on schedule so far today, so I'm back in, lol! Thanks! I was very frustrated when I posted earlier and didn't bother to think it through! :hug:

Jacqui_D: I'm glad you're finding a new solution. I use pomodoros to help me focus on work -- and then get up every 25 minutes during the breaks. Here's some info: Pomodoro Technique.

I rarely get over 8000 steps unless I walk for 30 or 40 minutes. Yesterday, I only walked 20 minutes and got nearly 10,000 steps -- lots of errands and running around!

Thanks for that site Joy! As of right now, I simply have my tv (turned way down low because I don't watch tv during the day) set on a station that has half hour shows, and when I see a new show coming on, I stand up. A kitchen timer would be great. An alarm clock on the other side of the room might be even better. Then I'd have to get up to go turn it off! :D
