Her Secret was Simple – Exercise and Lose Weight Fast

Enjoy the beauty and splendor of nature!

Several years ago I had the good fortune to meet an amazing young lady – I’d guess she was in her mid 40s. I’d greeted her many a time as she walked in a nearby park! She was always smiling it seemed. And swinging her arms as she walked at a pretty good pace up and down the rolling hills in that picturesque little park.

One day I finally asked her how she managed to always have a smile on her face. She told me that this hour of walking was her favorite time of her day. She enjoyed getting out in the fresh air and walking away her troubles. She was so genuinely friendly and full of smiles I had a hard time imagining her faced with many troubles! She went on to tell me she had lost over a hundred pounds just walking every day and eating a sensible, healthy diet. It took her a year and a half – but she stuck with her daily walk and succeeded!

Several scientific studies suggest that optimists live longer, more satisfying lives. So if you’re not an optimist, take a few steps in that direction each day. If you keep thinking like an optimist you will eventually join those many people who already know the benefits of living with a more positive outlook. Vow to make your first thought of the day a positive one. Try to begin each day with an inspirational or positive message. Forget the early morning news. If it’s really important – you’ll hear about it. Many people enjoy starting their day with a positive Bible verse. The key is to start thinking good thoughts first thing in the morning. Start your day off right – with good, positive thoughts.

Whether you want to lose ten pounds or 110 – if you maintain a positive outlook, you’ll have a much better chance of achieving your goal. Visualize your success! If you think you can reach your goal – you most likely will. I think it was Henry Ford who said – “If you think you can or think you can’t – you’re right”.

Create a picture in your mind – a vision of you reaching that goal – visualize yourself wearing a smaller size before Halloween, or Thanksgiving. Set a reasonable target – one that you can honestly expect to meet. Break it into manageable pieces – like “I will lose one pound each week” Or two.

Then set out and take action. Start small if you like. Just start! Take at least a little action in the direction of your goal each day.

Start with a brief walk. Or, if you feel ready, start jogging. Don’t push yourself too hard at first! Learn a new sport. Take up golf or tennis. Or simply start walking in the mall where the temperature is always pleasant! A variety of sports and exercise routines will help you maintain a better balanced level of fitness. Work your legs harder one day and your arms the next. Try to get some cardio in at least five days a week.

The key is to get started. And then keep moving.

Gradually increase your time and your pace. Walk a little farther and a little faster each day. When you start to feel comfortable – start jogging. Again, take it slow – and don’t try to go too far too fast.

Don’t look back – stay focused on enjoying right now! Or at least making the best of whatever life brings your way!

If your life isn’t how you imagined it would be, forgive yourself for your mistakes and move forward
with the lessons you’ve learned. Treat yourself kindly. Don’t dwell on your mistakes – or beat yourself up. Learn to move on. And keep moving – in the direction of your goal.
