Tips and motivations on weight loss

An hour a day is all you need
May 13th
How do we become active? The answer is by doing something you’re already doing daily i.e walking. Actually, in order to lose/maintain weight, the least you could is to insert an hour a day of activity in your lifestyle.
Walking is easy but to do walking an hour a day is not that easy for somebody else. If you have a child who you send to school every day with a car, why not take the initiative to walk to school with her/him.
In my case, I used to follow my neighbor who drives her son to school everyday but decided to stop following her because walking is good for me and my daughter. The distance to my daughter’s school is only 15 minutes one way which will give me a good 30 minutes (return journey) walking exercise daily except Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes, I will take a longer route on my way back which will make 25 minutes and that is 40 minutes return journey.
So I get a total of 1 hr – 1.5 hrs daily for sending my daughter to school in the morning and picking her up again in the afternoon. I couldn’t say no I can’t go because this is a must so it’s a good motivation!
I have to tell you the truth, ever since I started walking my daughter to school, I could feel my muffin top is slowly decreasing and the stretchable jeans which I have stopped using a few months ago is now back in my closet as it fits me now without feeling uncomfortable. So, people, walk more and you will feel good about yourself because walking is effective in reducing your weight. You won’t see the scale going down so fast but you will feel it by wearing your old clothes which you thought you will never wear again.
This is the kind of exercise that will lasts with great result. Since the summer holiday is soon approaching, I would have to think of another way to keep on walking, otherwise my weight will creep back again. Another option is to use the bicycle, 30 minutes a day and the rest I will probably burn my calories by doing house chores.

No, don’t be alarmed, I am not attempting to lose weight.. well not that much but it is just an eye opener or motivation for some of us who are uninspired or have been forever overweight.
If you set a goal and stick it in your heart and mind and soul, I think it will motivate you more.
Write your goal on a piece of paper and put it somewhere in your room where you can see it every day. No, not under your pillow but maybe in front of a mirror or at your bedroom door.
Make baby steps at first, try to be at your own pace and increase your exercise gradually, follow your rhythm but never stop. Just keep on doing it!
I am going to do my 30 mins daily exercise on an elliptical crosstrainer.. my aim is not to concentrate so much on losing weight but the hardwork you put into doing the exercise.
I also avoid weighing myself everyday because this will only demotivate you especially when you see the weight scale going up but instead let the mirror be your judge. See any improvements because sometimes looking tone is actually adding your weight which is actually your muscle and that means an increment of weight.
Be sure to eat healthily and move more.. I know it’s always easier said than done but it’s your body, you want to look good, you have to work hard to get your ideal body… furthermore there is “No pain, no gain!”.

Some people who did this walking exercise lose more than 100lbs.
