This is my journey to become a healthier me. It began on January 26, 2010 and stalled out... I got a type 2 diabetes diagnosis on March 30, 2022 and started to focus on my health again. On November 8, 2022 I added Ozempic to my toolbox to help me shed some pounds and inches!

Staying Focused

So, here I am again. I just seem to be having a really hard time staying focused lately and I don't know why, and I don't know what I can do about it. How to regain lost motivation?

I got an email from a friend that really struck home for me although I know she didn't intend it that way. She remarked that we'd been friends for a year and a half now. While I think it's great that I've met some wonderful people during my journey, my mind finished the sentence with "... and you're not at goal yet."

Well, I'm not. I look like a normal person now, but I'm not where I'd like to be and my BMI is still overweight. So why have I been wasting all this time? I don't know.

The Biggest Loser has started up again and it's been giving me a little kick to start exercising again. I always feel so much better when I do so I don't know why I don't make a bigger effort.

So now I need your help! What are your strategies for getting back on plan when you've been derailed? I started this and I'm going to finish it- just need to figure out how!

    Just do it...even if you don't feel like it . Just GO! You have your goal, right? I read somewhere that it takes about 6 months for something to become a habit...force yourself to make it a habit.
    I lost 73 lbs since Jan...and I did it for ME, so I felt good, so I was happy in my own skin. If you aren't happy with the workouts you are doing...try a new one...get a new DVD, or try a new class. Mix things up. Don't let your body or mind become bored!
    Good luck, you will get where you want to be...believe it!

    You can def do this! I actually love to workout so thats never been my problem but if it is just get out there and do it. Try taking a walk to start...riding a bike, joining a gym and taking some fun classes. I here zumba is fun and you can laugh at your self while trying. ( not personally for me, i have tried it and couldnt stop laughing)
    Find something you enjoy and go do it. Good luck! I love your blog by the way
