At Last Results from Walking to Lose Weight!

This has been a long time coming although it started for me with Walking to Lose Weight. I am pleased with all my results and the system I have developed for Wellness, a combination of wellbeing and happiness. This year is MY Year of Wellness and it is my goal to offer you the opportunity to make this year, 2012, your year of wellness as well. 

I want the process to be fun, inspiring, successful and something that you build on for yourself, for a lifetime of Wellness. Walking to Lose Weight is an entry point for many people into a process that changes your whole life into purposeful, feel good, funtionality. A way to bring your life together by supporting yourself in all ways-feeling good, positive thinking and acting with synergism.

Walking or other exercise is an important part of the process-for a number of reasons. These are relevant depending upon your starting point. Everyone is different however the techniques are generally the same. How they are applied-when and with what variety depends upon you.

For instance, weight loss that is to tone up and reduce those last few kilos for your wedding day doesn’t require as much of a different mental approach as weight loss for a lifetime.

This is a simple process in so many ways yet the application requires a relaxed dedication. 

I am going to put a lot of information on this site for free. My wish is that you have as much satisfaction from this process as well as the weight loss as I have-and that is so huge it is hard to describe! The main technique is positive thinking, as well as a new way of using your thoughts and feelings to support your actions. This is particularly good for anyone who has suffered with depression.

Let Walking to Lose Weight be your starting point to something better!

Not Everything Starts with Walking to Lose Weight

This year is the best year for Walking to Lose Weight. Join with me on a path that starts with walking as the focus – an organising principle that will allow us to bring together many different aspects of wellness. Walking to lose weight is so popular that it is an easy touchstone for many people to relate to when trying to get on top of their life issues.

I’m pleased with the progress I am making with this idea and hope you will be as well. Walking to Lose Weight is a simple plan that enables you to relate to your body and connect it with your goals and aims for a better life.

You can start walking for any number of reasons. Usually losing weight is a side benefit whatever the motivation behind it. If you are under-exercised, overweight and stressed out or depressed then walk for its many health benefits and your life will improve.

The start of this new lifestyle is simple and easy. Walk!

One of the best effects of walking is for those who through depression or illness, isolation or lifestyle change, feel disconnected from their lives.

The first point I want to make is that I am talking about walking as exercise, not simply strolling outside for the fresh air or entertainment. These are also wonderful. However for the lifestyle enhancements we are looking for the exercise is a serious focus to bring harmony to your body, emotions, mind and spirit.

The first step is to become focused on a simple organising principle called Walking to Lose Weight.

Adventures in Walking to Lose Weight

So I may have been a little bit cocky yesterday as I confidently tweeted “Wet weather is no deterrent for enthusiastic walkers with Gore-tex shoes!” Under normal circumstances I would have been right but the day turned out to be different then I thought. Read to the end to find out why.

Walking to Lose Weight has morphed into something different-a lifestyle concept- for me personally and this has been the new story I’ve been telling for some time. I am delighted to see the number of new sites and gyms using the concept as well. The majority are not directly related to my efforts but some are. No this is a movement whose time has come!

While I have walked on and off for years prior to starting Walking to Lose Weight, the blog also gave me the opportunity to learn a new skill such as using the internet (I had been mostly a basic user) for marketing, and gave me the time and space to develop my own ideas for a healthy well being lifestyle. Yes I based it around Walking to Lose Weight and even though after a while this felt restrictive in some ways, by taking my time and allowing it to grow into an even better system for success, I feel really good about where I am today.

I am a passionate believer in the benefits of walking, with or without weight loss as a primary motive. Sometimes weight gain or retention is symptomatic of a larger issue that surrounds someone who is unable to deal with this big picture and settles on a specific detail such as weight loss.

Excess weight feeds into other issues and like a circle it isn’t always clear where ‘it’ started. These other issues also tend to be the ‘excuses’ for not taking on the clear steps to weight loss. Well they aren’t actually ‘excuses’ they are the causes and results of the overall malaise which is often ‘overwhelm’. Too many cares so often means it is difficult to focus on any one of them to a point of resolution.

This blog is now Walking to Lose Weight Walks Away Cares.

When weight loss is your only focus it is easy to do. By prioritising it, really sincerely making it my daily first and last thought, I have done it many times. Nothing beats dedicated  commitment to losing weight to…well..lose weight.

So short term diets and bootcamp exercise programs work for weight loss while you focus positively on them, but stop working when you don’t.

My overall recommendation is to make the reason WHY you want to lose weight your starting point. So often it encapsulates in the one issue a number of other issues that you seem powerless to resolve. Walking is a fine way to start treating all of you with the synergistic benefits of weight loss and feeling good, well being and health improvements and more.

As I continue with Walking to Lose Weight Walks Away Cares blog, I anticipate it’s growth into a trend setter for communities around the world to introduce this easy way to well being and self help.

To finish the story about yesterday, this is what happened as I reported it on Facebook:

Have you seen the rain??? Just spent hours at Lake Haven as buyers were coming to view the house. Always a good excuse to go for a little walk EXCEPT today it was a deluge beyond description. I was soaked through and took off my shoes and socks to dry under the hand dryer in the ladies which improved it a little and then I noticed that my umbrella-the big one I have had for ages but don’t normally use unless it is REALLY raining like today- was dripping red (it is a bright orange and red) and as it was too wet to go outside again I walked thru the centre dripping red dye behind me like I was Gretel leaving breadcrumbs to find my way back home!!!

My life is an adventure, I hope yours is too!

Come On Walking to Lose Weight!

Come on-you know this! You know how to lose weight! Walking to lose weight is one of the most recommended treatments for lack of fitness and health issues due to overweight. It is the easier option and money isn’t an issue. We know money is never the main issue or Oprah wouldn’t be struggling with her weight. The reasons you use for not walking are the tip of your own personal iceberg. So come with Walking to Lose Weight if you have more on your mind then weight loss.

Articles and experts who tell us that women in particular gain weight over 40 as their metabolic rates decrease are simply offering an explanation for why many people experience weight gain. In the public mind the reason is often seen as the age increase instead of the accumulation of life experiences that pull our commitment and brain space all over the place.

Weight gain has a lot to do with your lifestyle. Not just one ‘wrong’ thing but a series of choices that can detract from health and well being. I’ve put those other non-weight issues in there as overwhelm and excess stress is one way of accumulating weight instead of wealth and good times.

Gradually as we live our lives over many years our daily lives change. Levels of physical activity, body issues and commitments, take the focus away from connecting your body with yourself. I like to say that there is only one fact about our bodies-it will definitely be with you until the day you die!

Walking is a passion of mine as it is a wonderful way to bring balance back into your mindset. As walking to lose weight offers benefits for those having other issues such as anxiety, depression, health concerns, on top of wishing to lose weight, it is a remarkable tool for repairing your lifestyle. Yes it takes ‘longer’ to lose depending on where you start from-but taking a bit of time doesn’t matter when you recognise that these are changes you’re making for life! It is not a short term exercise! Whatever you use to lose the weight is likely to be required post weight loss to keep up the results. So the way you choose to lose weight is a choice you make about how you will live your life forever.

Sorry if you’re a ‘just the facts’ sort of person. Actually I’m not sorry. Heaps of people live their lives as though their body belongs to someone else and if they just nag it enough it will do ‘the right thing’. Does this work with your children?

It is just possible that if you create a new level of relationship with your body you might learn how to have a new way of talking to your children as well. Don’t however go there too soon.

Part of the typical problem is the swamping of your self respect around your body, a ‘sacrifice’ of it as a priority because you have other priorities now. If you had role models from the previous generation who had kept their own body goals with the addition of husband, children, bosses, etc. then you might have skipped any neglect issues around your own body. Certainly post-2000 generations are fortunate to have a media which promotes the continued body care after marriage and pregnancy of many women in the arts and entertainment, and now for everyday people.

Those who still have the hangover of expectations that married women, mothers and grandmothers should act, look and be, less concerned about their own priorities may find it hard to easily keep fit and healthy.

I will be starting a new approach to Walking to Lose Weight that incorporates the self care issues. Walking is my favourite way to de-stress. It is also a great way to get fitter, feel younger and look good.

Walking to Lose Weight Rebel!

Walking to Lose Weight is a very specific term and implies that walking is best seen as someone’s easiest weight loss option. Yet including dedicated walking in your lifestyle has so much potential for improving your overall life that seeing it as primarily for weight loss undersells it. It is still highly conducive to weight loss. It also improves your overall health. Another side benefit is increased well being, creativity and stress relief.

My quality of life has skyrocketed with the development of walking to lose weight as a lifestyle. Walking has been a life saver for me, not literally but as a path to restoring my joie de vivre.

I call this post Walking to Lose Weight Rebel to reflect my position as a professional voice for those struggling to cope with many aspects of their lifestyles including a desire for weight loss. I delight in the emphasis on using your mind to feel, look and be better! This includes using law of attraction techniques for weight loss. Basic psychology around weight loss helps us understand why you are hanging onto your weight but use of positive thinking, redefining words to your own advantage, and self affirmation helps you move beyond understanding. Dwelling on understanding your problem delays your success. Take the next step!

Walking is complimentary to making improvements in your life and well being. It is my best tip for overwhelm reduction!

The reason why many people find diet and exercise stressful relates to how they look at it. It is often seen as a a form of punishment and criticism. Even when self imposed!

My holistic approach focuses on increasing your quality of life overall and includes weight loss. Walking becomes the delivery system for a number of life improvements. Walking is slower for weight loss than more intrusive methods and changes can be made at a comfortable sustainable pace. The advantages are great whether you are counting steps, walking on a treadmill or outside.
