When I started this blog as Walking to Lose Weight around August 2008 I was only aware of myself and how it would help me to walk as a weight loss strategy. I had been told that as a total newbie to Internet Marketing, doing it myself (that is without spending thousands of dollars on professionals doing it for me), to stay away from weight loss and physical exercise, as SEO blogs. The level of progress within the walking to lose weight keyword category testifies to an amazing and to me wonderful new emphasis on walking as an exercise, and its many benefits but primarily the benefit of weight loss.
Walking helps me with other areas of my life: it gets me around particularly in those periods when I have been without a car; I walked to school from kindergarten to the end of high school; then walked extensively around the university campus; it is a pleasure when living in particularly attractive areas to walk with friends for them to enjoy it with you, etc.
In other words I have never been adverse to walking other than in too hot weather.
The success of walking for weight loss as a public strategy meant that the monetary benefits from my blog almost matched my enthusiasm!
As a weight loss strategy it has been a long term goal for me to replace the short term diets and exercise with a lifestyle which supported my ideal weight.
Right now I feel very satisfied that everything in my life is better!
When I found that ‘walking to lose weight’ as a keyword had increased in competition enormously I changed the blog name to Walking for Weight Loss.
Walking for weight loss symbolizes something bigger for me: it is the platform for change in all areas of my lifestyle. I changed a 45 year life pattern-I’m talking about the shape of my days not the shape of my body which also did change significantly- and my attitude to activity. My world view is different and healthier.
My world view now supports using a significant change in one area of your lifestyle to create a new world view of yourself. Walking for weight loss has been this for me.
