I trust that people that read this have been walking. If you have been walking for the past month, at the minimum, you feel better about yourself. And, hopefully, you will start to see some results. The main thing is that you have to get STARTED! I recommend that you just start out walking for 30 minutes each day. Just walking. Many of us only get the exercise of walking between the car and the house or the store. Not too much.
But here is a BIG key to success - when we start to exercise, we tell ourselves we can eat whatever we want since we are burning extra calories.
NOT TRUE!!!
We have to watch what we eat. We need to healthy, well, and nutritious. Eating junk food and drinking 64 oz "Thirst Busters" will not get us where we want to go.
In order to make the exercise pay off, we need to eat the right stuff. If not, we are wasting our time and energy. What we eat makes a difference.
And to make it perfectly clear, I lost 65 pounds last year without dieting. That's right, no South Beach, no Adkins, no Voodoo. I will talk more about that next week.
Reality for us is that we have to start burning more calories to loss weight. And this mean exercising more.
Have you been walking for a month? All right, stretch it out. Alternate days, one day walking 45 minutes and then 30 minutes. Then, every week you have three days at 30 minutes and three days at 45 minutes.
Forget about the glory days of high school. Just start walking and see the difference it makes.
