Today's Walk - Rest Day
Walking for health or weight control it is best to walk most days of the week. Take a rest day as needed, as often as every other day. Just be sure to get back on the trail!
Crosstraining -Abdominals
Good walking posture depends on having abdominal muscles to pull in opposition to the back muscles, but walking does nothing to tone your abs. You need to do that after your walking workout, every other day.

Think - Goal Reflection
Look back at your goals you set in Week 1. How do you feel about them now? Are they still realistic, measurable, achievable but challenging enough? Have you thought of a new direction to take?

When You Lapse
Did you just make a poor food choice (buying and eating a whole carton of Godiva ice cream at one sitting, for example. Not that I ever would do that, no, no...) Don't give up, this isn't a sign that all is lost.
Instead, admit that you made a poor choice. Forgive yourself - it is human to lapse.
Analyze what happened, what was going on, who were you with, what did your inner voices say?
Think about what you will do next time you face a similar challenge.
Then practice how you will respond next time.
Healthy eating habits take time and practice. Make your lapses a chance to plan for better choices in the future.
