If you drink alcohol, Dr. Aronne recommends doing so only at meals. Alcohol is an appetite stimulant as well as a judgment suppressor, he says. It will have the smallest impact on your diet if you only have it with meals. Tips Commitment Put it on your calendar. On Sunday, before the workweek begins, mark your walking times with a big red 'X'.
Motivation Bring a friend.
Find a neighbor or colleague who will commit to at least one walk a week. If you know someone is waiting, you'll be less likely to skip the workout. Once you get started, chances are you'll want to keep going.
