@Joanna – I have fallen off the walking band wagon. That always happens to me after competing in a race. However, I am hauling out my shoes and getting back out there this coming week. P.S. I really like the ‘eat what I like’ part of power walking

I started walking when my kids had to get to school and the roads were so jammed with 4x4s that parking was impossible.

With one at primary and one in nursery, I was clocking up 6 miles a day at one point and I loved it. I could eat what I liked and I weighed less than I ever did when I was relying on an aerobics class twice a week.

I did try jogging but it made my knees hurt, whereas power walking was just so easy. I always made sure I was late leaving for any appointment which meant that I had to keep to a strict schedule and speed. And, yes, I was always smiling too

@Helen – my walking grinds to a halt in Winter as well. Mainly because it becomes too treacherous with all the snow! Mr. Very Right and I keep meaning to replace walking with cross-country skiing in the Winter months, but so far we have not been very faithful to this. And you bring up another good point about walking … no special equipment required other than a good pair of shoes.

Yes I love walking. I buy new shoes every 18 months to 2 years and it is my only expense. I live near a huge park/sheep farm in Auckland, New Zealand so it is very convenient to step out each day. My only hump is that in the winter when it is cold and wet I am very reluctant to venture out. When I do pass on the walking I really have to watch what I eat because the waistline does expand (groan). I have begun an online 'walking project' business that I plan to get off the ground this year. .-= Helen Wenley´s last blog ..Do you need to take anti-aging supplements? =-.
