going okay...starting walking program tomorrow
things are going okay , i guess. had a little slip up yesterday. but i am
wipping the slate and starting over clean and fresh today. no more mess ups. i'm also starting a walking program that i got off the net from a good site. for the first week you walk days for 10 - 15 mins with a two day rest period then each week after that u up your times by 5 mins and at the end of each week you have a set time that you have to walk so for the first week my target time in total is 60 -75 for the whole week. not bad to begin with then i'll up it like i said as i get better at it. hopefully this along with my diet plan will boost my weight loss. angie 152.5/130lbs/125lbs/116lbs???????????final |

Hello Angie,
It sounds like you have a plan and that's the best place to start. Good luck on reaching your goals. I walk 2, 3, or 4 miles per day at least five days a week and I really feel it helps me feel better and assists in losing weight. I spend about an hour to an hour and a half walking too.

going okay...starting walking program tomorrow
Lately I've been doing the same. I go to the gym in the morning and
when I get home I walk -- not necessarily for me but because the dogs want to get out. We typically walk 2-4 miles depending on the time and the temperature -- and sometimes I take each for a shorter walk separately to keep my sanity :-) It helps me to think of this as not necessarily something for ME but something to help THEM. I mean, I have already been to the gym so it would be easy for me to say "too yucky out" and blow it off it it were purely for me (although clearly I benefit as well!) but if I am thinking of walking as something that I do for the girls, well, that's different :-) They are both pretty good about walking and we average 3.25 - 3.5 mph so we are going a decent pace. Oh, I got some fun "safety gear" for the three of us too. I had an illuminite (reflective) jacket that I got for biking (turns out that I hate biking in the dark and the gym is a lot better option for me) and I use that but I also got bandannas and a baseball cap made of the same material (http://www.glowdog.com/). We all put on our safety gear before going :-) Anyway, even with the parts of our walk that have sidewalks, I feel a lot better knowing that folks have half a chance to see us in a timely fashion.

Good job. Try to do it every day - bad weather or not. In bad
weather you can go to a mall or use a treadmill at home. Just do it! Except no excuses (unless ill).

i know i'm doing it every morning after work. like i ve said before i work
mid nights and it's easier for me to do it after work. i don't have access to a tread mill or have a mall close to my home but i do have walking tapes so when i can't get outside i will try and do those. angie "Brad Sheppard" wrote in message om...

Walking is, of course, better for you than no walking, and it's good for your heart, but don't expect to see much boost on the scale for short periods of walking. It takes roughly 35 miles of walking to burn the calories of one pound of fat. If you walk briskly at about 15 minutes per mile, that's almost 9 hours walking. And walking, like any aerobic exercise, only helps while you're doing it. Quoting from ADIPOSITY 101 (http://www.omen.com/adipos.html) Several years ago it was widely reported that working out left one with an "exercise afterglow" for up to 12 hours, during which body metabolism remained at least slightly elevated. More recent studies have shown that this effect requires a level of exercise attainable only by highly trained athletes. Moderate exercise does not increase the metabolism (BMR) of obese subjects. You might also look into some weight training. If you add muscle, you increase the calories that you burn even while resting. The notion that it would make you bulky or unfeminine is a myth. Women don't bulk up unless they're taking steroids. I highly recommend http://www.stumptuous.com/weights.html for women's weight training. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
