How walking every day helped this woman lose 50 pounds. - NBCNewsBETTER
In 2010, Thomas, a restaurant owner who was overweight at the time, decided to go outside and explore the trails near her home in Virginia.“My legs didn’t hurt, I felt like I did something, and more importantly, I felt good, my body felt good and that is what made me want to get back out,” Thomas told NBC News BETTER.
. She gradually began to lose weight, she says — about a pound a month. Over time, she lost about 50 pounds.“I was never really an athletic person, but I had this self concept that is just wrong,” she says, “which is that there are athletic people who can do things and then there’s you, and just because I’m not a competitive athlete does not mean that I can’t be athletic.”,” turned her life around through walking.
To make sure she walked every day, Thomas, who lives in Richmond, Virginia, incorporated walking into her daily routine, like walking to the grocery store.. For her, walking is about getting outdoors and enjoying where your legs take you. “It naturally builds on itself,” she says, “as opposed to shoving and pushing yourself into things that you feel marginal about.”When you’ve been sedentary for a long time, the idea of signing up for a big race, or an intense gym class can be overwhelming, says Thomas.Instead of committing to a gym, she committed to a promise: every day, she would do some kind of physical activity, whether going for a walk orI started small. It’s completely fine to start small.
