I believe all of these techniques will help me increase my level of motivation.

My walking schedule started out with a walk four times a week. I have since added one day and my new goal is to try to walk every single day.

To maintain a consistent schedule, I take my walking class first thing every morning so that other activities are less likely to interfere with my time to walk.

This should allow me to lose about a pound a month. However, I realize that diet also plays a large factor in weight loss and that I need to make sure I am not consuming extra calories now that I am walking.

I believe that walking has helped in two ways. First, as a physical activity, it increases the release of endorphins which makes me feel a lot calmer and more relaxed. Second, it is helpful just to get away from a stressful environment and to take time to think and enjoy the outdoors. I try to frequently change my physical surroundings so that I will take more time to appreciate the environment and so that I will not become bored with my walk.

In summary, I am pleased with my progress with my walking program to date after only one month. I expect to continue walking for one hour a day, but plan to walk more quickly for a greater distance and also plan to walk more frequently. I am pleased with the impact of walking on decreasing my stress level, but hope to begin losing weight as I review my.....
