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 - Upper Body
Using arm motion when walking is the first step to toning your upper body, but it is highly recommended that you do an upper body workout with lightweight dumbbells and a theraband every other day. These are inexpensive and available at any sporting goods store.

Food Triggers
What is it that you just can't stop eating once you start? Is it sweet, salt, rich foods? Not everyone has the same temptations. I can say no to cake, but the chips and salsa are another story. Know what it is that you crave, then find a substitute that is healthier, lower in calories, and has controlled portions. Sweet lovers may switch to some flavorful hard candies in small quantities. Salty snackers can have available a small bag of baked potato chips.
