So if there are things that I can do in my room for now I'm good... until I'm ready to go to the gym.
There are tons of nifty little exercises you can do right in your own home without any equipment. For awhile I was on a 30 minute workout routine about three or four days a week.

Like someone else mentioned, crunches definitely help (not full on sit ups, just the crunches). The other thing to help tone your stomach area is focusing on the obliques (on your sides, between the bust and hip area). Hold two light weights in your hands (5-10 lbs) and take turns holding your hips still and leaning to the right, then the left. Then twist and turn. It doesn't sound like much, but coupled with the crunches it has a definite affect. Sounds like you're doing great already though!!! :)
