Well…it’s time. I think I am at a point where I really need to bump up my activity levels. I plan to start walking. Weight Watchers has recently announced their Weight Watchers Magazine’s 2008 Walking Clinic.
A year long total-body-fitness program designed to challenge and motivate walkers at all levels. Whether you’re a beginner who wants to become a regular walker, an intermediate strider who is serious about reshaping her body, or an advanced trekker ready to take on the ultimate challenge of walking a marathon, we’ve got what you need.
Click here to read more and view the walking plans.
Since I’m a beginner, it suggest that I should start out only walking for 10 minutes a day (3 times a week) my first 3 weeks, then I will increase it to 15 minutes a day for the next 3 weeks after that, and so on. I will also be required to do 2 days a week of cardio starting at 10 minutes each day for the first 3 weeks, then gradually increasing that as well. They suggest taking a couple of days off a week to allow your body and muscles to recover.
Sounds like a great plan and I can’t wait to get started!

I’m in the same boat as you (I’m even 5′0″ too, which makes the extra weight SO hard to hide!). I’m not quite motivated yet, though. I tried out the Eat Clean diet for a week or so and lost 5 lbs, but I can never stick with a diet or exercise plan.
I really need to get my butt in gear b/c I have my 20th HS class reunion coming up this fall!

Wow, Nichole! First of all, thanks for stopping by! We have quite a bit in common. This year is 20 years for me too! Although, we had a 3 year class (87, 88, 89) reunion last summer, so we won’t be doing one this year.
Oh! And love your fitness store BTW!
