walking it off

My mom did. She only walks either in the neighborhood or on the treadmill. I think she's up to about six miles a day and has lost around 60 lbs.

Up until May that is all that I did. In May I purchased a bike and I bike every other day, but I still continue to walk every single day. I take my dogs to the dog park and I walk around the enclosure the entire time they are playing. I usually walk at least an hour but usually 75 minutes. I am just not a big believer in spending money on things you don't need to, so hence, no gym membership. I have legs, I take my dogs to the park every single day, no matter what, so why not make the best of my time there. My first 40ish pounds lost were just the walking. I am actually already beginning to stress what to do in the winter when it is below zero and snow up to my knees! (North Dakota) I do have a treadmill and will have to hit that up but walking in the same place is not the same for me, but gotta do what I gotta do.

When I first started to diet all I did was walk and eat according to the slimfast 321 plan and then i quit doing that (one weekend of fun screwed me up!) and I started counting calories, eating non-processed foods and walking and somewhere in between all of that I've lost 3lbs. I do the denise austin 3 week bootcamp (20 min. long, $10 at walmart) occasionally
