Your upper body won't show much improvement from walking a mile a day. It's not a very hearty workout, more just a maintenance one, and most visible improvement would be in your calves.
Take on a more rigorous cardio workout, running if you can, or maybe an elliptical machine if you have access, or jogging up and down stairs, etc. Do this for half an hour to an hour at least every other day.
During the same workout session or on opposing days on your workout schedule, start on exercises targeting specifically your upper body. Presumably, your mid-section is where you're most concerned, so you should do sets of crunches/sit-ups, increasing with your ability, and making sure to sit up at different angles from your body, so as to improve the tone of your sides as well as the front of your abdomen.
Good luck.

workout atleast 5 days a week. do atleast 30 mins of high intensity cardio (like running), and weight training you should do 3 times a week.
one mile of walking is not incredibly effective. it's good for you, but you need to increase your exercise to tone up.
yoga and cardio are VERY effective together.

weight watchers does it online where you dont have to go to meetings.
or get a friend on it and freely copy their diet,
according to your body type.
goodluck
