Walking to Success
Posted on Jun 4, 2010 in A New Beginning, City2Surf | 0 commentsHats off to everyone who have managed to keep their step count over 10,000 a day in the conditions of the last two weeks.
Most of the people I know of who are following the New Beginning City2Surf training program are averaging 13,000 to 14,000 steps a day, which is excellent considering many of you have been regularly walking in the rain.
Sonia and Sue are both joining us in the Life7 City2Surf team this year. I was about to leave their house late one night last week when the discussion moved to their daily step count. Without batting an eyelid they decided to get a few more steps in before day’s end.
We headed off for a walk in the dark and the drizzle. I rather enjoyed the rather damp tour by foot of Wentworth Falls Lake, with its eerie lights reflecting through the mist across the water.
After two weeks of regularly walking a minimum of 10,000 steps a day, almost everyone has already lost a kilogram or more. Some, who have been studiously watching their food intake, have lost over 2kg.
This is a great start, but the real challenge will be to maintain this new lifestyle routine until it becomes a habit ‘“ and over the winter is the most challenging period you could choose to do it.
