I believe all of these techniques will help me increase my level of motivation.
My walking schedule started out with a walk four times a week. I have since added one day and my new goal is to try to walk every single day. As mentioned before, I believe consistency is a key to endurance. To maintain a consistent schedule, I take my walking class first thing every morning so that other activities are less likely to interfere with my time to walk. However, sometimes I am up late studying and do not always get up in time for my morning walks. I believe that adding the new goal to walk every day will help compensate for any times that I miss due to studies.
One of the major reasons why I started my walking program was to lose weight. In this respect, I am very disappointed because I am the very same weight as when I started the program. On a positive note, at least I haven't gained any additional weight. Reviewing estimates of calories burned during walking, I believe I burn around 300 calories for my four mile walk or about 1200 calories per week since I walk four times a week. This should allow me to lose about a pound a month. However, I realize that diet also plays a large factor in weight loss and that I need to make sure I am not consuming extra calories now that I am walking. I expect that my plan to...
I will also try to add more walking on inclines to help me burn additional calories.
Often, my schedule as a student is demanding and I'm under a lot of stress to do well in my studies. With regards to this, walking has been wonderful at helping me to control my stress. I believe that walking has helped in two ways. First, as a physical activity, it increases the release of endorphins which makes me feel a lot calmer and more relaxed. Second, it is helpful just to get away from a stressful environment and to take time to think and enjoy the outdoors. I try to frequently change my physical surroundings so that I will take more time to appreciate the environment and so that I will not become bored with my walk.
In summary, I am pleased with my progress with my walking program to date after only one month. I expect to continue walking for one hour a day, but plan to walk more quickly for a greater distance and also plan to walk more frequently. I am pleased with the impact of walking on decreasing my stress level, but hope to begin losing weight as I review my diet and ramp up my workout.
Believing and Doubting Game Microtheme 1: Posing a problematic question Is this boy removing rocks from the site or delivering them to the site? It appears that the boy is removing rocks from the site. It would appear that the boy is carrying several rocks away from the site, cradling several in his arms.

Michel de Certeau's "Walking in the City" provides a clear and appropriate lens with which to view and re-view the 17th century play, "Walking Girl." Although the two pieces are completely different in terms of their style and content, they both reflect the way people subvert established social codes and structures. Leaders and powerful men of Certeau's modern age had stood on the top floor of Manhattan's Twin Tower, observing
Dead Man Walking-MLA DEAD MAN WALKING Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is a controversial subject in modern day America. Should criminals be put to death for their crimes? Or should punishments be limited to prison terms? Americans lineup on both sides of the issue with some States favoring executions and others banning the practice. Tim Robbins's Dead Man Walking is a film which delved into this subject through the
At the beginning of the film, she is clearly disturbed by the nature of the crime, and the criminal's apparent lack of remorse. But as the film progresses, and the killer and the nun establish a human bond, Sister Helen increasingly believes he is worthy of being treated as a human being by the law. This, for Sister Helen means, being allowed to confess his sins, as all human
I was struggling. I had not felt gravity in six months. My body hardly knew what to do. Nothing worked as well as it should have, with my body I mean, and I was actually kind of worried about getting out of the Rover. Those moon guys didn't spend six months in zero gravity before they landed -- I was the first to go through this. But of course, I
Spade walking down to examine a murder makes use of shadows as well as high black-white contrast in order to convey drama and suspense. This is commonly referred to as the film noir lighting technique because it conveys a sense of mystery and danger. The lighting highlights the most extreme contours of the character's faces, but none of the moderating details such as texture or color. This makes the
