Walking to Lose Weight-Day 29
Make Up Your Own Special Walking Project-
There are many appropriate events for walking to lose weight by different groups, organisations and individuals around the world.
This Walking to Lose Weight program endorses opportunities for combining walking projects and weight loss by participating in fun min (or maxi) events which target walking (to lose weight) and training for events we’re doing.
Walking to lose weight is a spiral of walking, weight loss, walking, weight loss, walking, weight loss… at some point it becomes walking, weight control, walking, weight control, walking, weight control. With this in mind you need to learn to love it.
Yesterday on Day 28 of the 31 Ways to Lose Weight Walking we talked about having a specific purpose which will focus you and enable a greater than usual effort to jump your progress up a level.
Participating is a wonderful way to walk. For those who aren’t able to use this type of event, look at creating your own fun…many will piggyback their efforts with others who are doing the real thing.
Whether from circumstances or choice some people are not joiners and will not be involved in these group efforts but that doesn’t mean they can’t walk along doing a ‘pseudo-walk’.
Suggestions for creatively increasing the fun in walking to lose weight:
Visit your office headquarters, and learn about the area while walking around it; “Write” a book using mp3/4 player with microphone; Go to the closest ‘tourist’ town and find all about it by walking around it; Then walk around that next door town, get to know it; Walk around your home town. Do a new section each day. Don’t think you know an area if you’ve only driven through it; Track (virtual) your favourite actor/TV star- visit their home, go on tour with them; Learn (make believe) a hobby- walk to the appropriate sports store and activity area, rent DVDs and walk while watching; Take a famous train trip, e.g. walking the distance between stations; Walk to the birthplace of your mother and tell her of your progress; Listen to an exciting audio book only while walking, make it something special; Walk a long beach in the early morning and study the geography, surf board riders, fishing; Visit Paris, Rome and Venezuela; With a tourist guide and map, tour world famous art galleries; Learn exotic languages.
You’ve got the general idea. You’re bound to have better ones appealing to you in particular. Use walking for weight loss to enhance any other goals you have by embracing the time it provides for you to focus on motivating other dreams to fruition.
