Need motivation to walk...

[Zoesmama03]

I managed to loose another lb this week even though I didn't walk much last week. I really didn't feel like going having TOM and all. I know walking helps with cramps but I just didn't feel up to it.

I did do a TON of housework and had to have burned atleast another walk or two worth of calories though.

My eating was decent except for the one day I was at my moms a few days ago.

I really gotta stay motivated to get walking this weekend. I know walking and exercise is key so I just gotta do it.

Okay - PM me and we'll cheer each other on! I can't seem to get out of the house either! And when I do walk, I feel so good!

Anyone else want to join our walking club?!?!?!?!?

I know it can be so hard to find the motivation to exercise but it will help so much in the loss. Not only will you lose weight faster but you'll also find your body becoming more toned as you lose. If it's too warm to go out and walk maybe try the Walk Away the Pounds tapes - I know lots of WISHers have had success with those programs. I avoided exercise as long as possible but I have to say it really does make a difference in your loss and your overall health - so get moving!

I do most of my walking on the tmill - try to start by 5:15 AM (realize that is way early for you guys out west) 3-4 miles a day and on Saturdays I shoot for 8 miles (outdoors when possible for this one). TammyNC and I often "see" one another while we tmill - we would love for you to join us!

My DD (ohMom) always after me to cross train - so I try to do some strength training too! I love the WATP tapes too - the 4 mile walk does use some weights for that cross training.

Did you every try the site www.about.com Walking Guide - you can go sign up for some training programs - might be just the thing you need. they send you schedules of what you should shoot for each day - and go for the "buddy" - sure makes each accountable to one another!

I'll check back to see if you are up and at em and joining me/us in the mornings.

thanks ladies. I will be taking my walk in the morning.

I think I found my new motivator at home. My 10 month old dd decided she was gonna start full on walkin yesterday, today she was walking everywhere. She had been walkin a few steps since May 10th but has really taken off.

Try using a step counter. You should be taking 10,000 steps per day
