It normally takes about six weeks before you
notice any physical changes to yourself, but this is secondary to our cause and
a great bonus for us.
The biggest mistake that most everyone makes on the first walk they undertake is it’s “MUCH TO FAR” Always set a distance you know you can manage with ease, then try to increase this distance to double over the first six week period.

Remember, we are creeping up on our weight, not trying
to ambush it. It is also advisable to
get yourself some comfortable walking shoes {and walking socks} but only after
you have decided whether or not walking is for you.
This next bit of information may sound a
little strange! But {I feel it needs mentioning} Remember if you plan
“let’s say” a two mile walk out; you are going to have to walk two miles back?
I know that it goes without saying, and I
would never insult anybodies intelligence, but it is something that is often
overlooked. And people can find themselves struggling to make it back home,
from what should have been an enjoyable experience.
It may inspire you to know that as a result
of my walking; along with some extra training, I got to climb the
highest mountain in the u.k, BEN NEVIS. When I say Climb, I mean we walked up Ben
Nevis via the Mountain Trail; formally known as the “Tourist Trail” Sorry but you won’t find me dangling from a rope
half way up a mountain; thank you very much?
I can never put
into words how amazing that day was from start to finish. The
memories are, still very much alive in my soul; all the people that we met on
the mountain that day and each one of them were climbing the Great Ben Nevis,
for the good of someone else...?
For their very own personal reasons! When we
reached the summit, we stood on the pinnacle to have our photo taken “O.M.G” I
swear to you if we had climbed any higher, we could have shook hands with
God...!!!
Please understand; I am 55 years old, I am built
for comfort, not speed; I do not rush to do anything unless it’s really
important. At the outset; I started walking the dog round the block and because
I felt I needed to get moving again.
Another thing; there was no way I was
going to join a gym to embarrass myself, being all red faced on a treadmill,
sweating like a donkey; trying to prove that I could still do it? {No Thanks}
I’m well past all that.
It just amazes me sometimes how one
little change in your lifestyle, and in your mind; can lead you to such massive
accomplishments. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine myself standing
on the top of Ben Nevis! {And believe me I have some wild dreams} Do you ever
wonder where little changes that you make; could take you?
