Walking for Weightloss Days 1 and 2

Well day 1 was 2 days ago so I will write about it. I got up and decided enough is enough and today is the day for my new beginning it is the day I am taking charge of my life.

I decided the best way for me to walk the 1.5 hours needed which in my case is just over 10,000 steps is by using a stop watch and walking for bursts of 10 minutes at a time. Whenever I have to stop i stop the stop watch thus ensuring I do actually walk the required time. It is not the best way to do it I know but it will have to do as it is all I can manage right now.

I walk around in circles under my pergola area as I dont want to go and walk around the streets.

After the first 1.5 hours of walking I could feel my feet aching and my hip joints feeling a bit sore. I thought hmmmmm thats a good feeling tho. I have achieved something.

The next morning I woke up and ouch my feet were sore. But I thought thats ok a little pain as the saying goes “there is no gain if there is no pain”. I went through all my normal daily stuff and when I could I used my stop watch and walked around in circles. Today I did  1 hour and 40 minutes as I felt good.
