Best and Easiest Way to Lose Weight Without Dieting

I recently wrote about Interval Walking as a way to lose weight. http://notjustforboomers.blogspot.com/2013/07/interval-walking-to-lose-weight.html My wife and I started the program just about two weeks ago. Since we started the program, we each have already lost about two pounds. Now, that may not sound like a lot, but a pound a week without following any special diet seems pretty good to me.

The program we have been following is to do the interval walking one day, followed by a day in which we try to walk for at least 45 minutes.  Depending on where we are walking (sometimes we walk on the high school track and others, on a "rails to trail"), we usually log about one and half to two miles, sometimes more.

We are obviously going to continue to follow this program and we will keep you posted. In addition, in a future post, I will explore some of the science behind the benefits of interval walking. For now, though, I think it is the best and easiest way to lose weight without dieting.

The Best Travel Site: Jetsetter.com

If you are looking for a new travel site that can help you find hotels and vacation deals at the best prices, let me suggest you take a look at www.jetsetter.com.  We recently booked a short stay at a resort through this site. I  had tried to get a deal through the usual suspects, Kayak, Expedia etc. All of them said no rooms were even available.  My wife happened upon jetsetter.com and saw they did have rooms available and at a discount from the rooms on the resort's website.  As a result, we booked a two day stay at the lowest price.

Jetsetter is not available for every location and hotel, but it does have choices in most vacation destinations, such as New York City (51 hotel options), Chicago, Las Vegas, etc.  In addition to domestic hotels, it also has overseas locations available. Right now on its mobile app (which you can download for free)  it is featuring deals in the Far East, including Thailand and Vietnam.

 Check it out if you are planning a trip and cannot find what you are looking for on the other travel sites.
