Getting fat didn't happen all at once. Little by little I added an ounce here and there until I had achieved a level of girth than can most politely be described as "robust" -- and then I just kept going. Eating excess calories and moving very little really paid off in the conditioning department. I had conditioned myself, over time, into a world-class rolly-polly snacking machine. I had become awesome- in the same way you'd describe the Grand Canyon or Goodyear blimp; awesome in terms dimension.
Enough about me and my grand accomplishments, let's talk about me. More importantly, let's talk about another one of my weight loss tips.
#46 - Move
When you get to the point when it hurts you joints to carry all your weight it's a sure sign that you need to move a little more. Burn calories- I mean, that's what moving your body does. So move.
I began paying attention to ways and reasons for moving that I had previously overlooked; taking the stairs rather than the escalator of the elevator, parking farther away from the door at the market- walking to the market, and doing so many other things that limited my time in a seated position.
The more I moved the better I felt. I walked more and more until I could run a little. I ran more until I could run the entire distance to the gym. I ran up and down the bleachers at the local high school. Movement became a catalyst for losing weight. The more I moved, the more by body became conditioned to the load I was putting on it. I believe I got stronger and lighter simultaneously.
My tip: move at every opportunity- far and often.
Yep. It's amazing how you can find 'exercise' in your everyday routine.
