Helpful Tips from Run Yourself Skinny

I just finished reading "Run Yourself Skinny: Lose Weight Fast Without Dieting" by Michael Thomas. Some tips in the book that I thought were helpful:

• Every day, log your total time walking/running and your total distance.
• Calculate your calories burned (weight X distance X 0.75) for each workout.
• At the end of the week sum up each of these metrics at the bottom of the page.
• After two weeks, you have a good starting point to see how many miles you are running per week and how many calories you are burning.
• At the end of the month, sum up each of the four week totals, weigh in on the scale to see how much weight you lost.

The following video, discussed in the book, may help get you motivated to get off your butt and walk or run...or start some form of exercise.
