Stay focused.

Weight Loss Surgery Daily Inspiration For August 7, 2011

Stay focused. 

Life is full of distractions. Your company is downsizing, your debt has become unmanageable, your basement has flooded again--the list is endless. 

What is the one thing that would make all this worse? You know all too well. Being obese and ill. Certainly, life can hand us whoppers--challenges beyond what we feel we can handle--but most of your stresses are distractions from what is truly important. Most of them need to take second place to your health. 

Action for the day: Are you allowing life's distractions to interfere with living the lifestyle (physically, mentally, and spiritually) that will keep you healthy in the long run? In your journal, write a list of the distractions that are robbing you of the success you desire. Resolve not to let distractions steal your resolve.

Hi Molly
I have been away for a while and am back to now lose 60 lbs.  You are absolutely right about staying focused.  I owe it to myself to reach a normal BMI.  Tonight I am going to my new gym.  I want to make sure I like the equipment before I give notice to my old gym.  The new one is 4 minutes from my house rather than 15 minutes and a nicer drive in winter weather.  They also are open 24/7 and have a sal****er pool.  It is also substantially less expensive too.  I hope you are doing well.  Just me

Hi Just me!!! 

You may want to do a trial run at new gym.  Most places give out free week to a month pass.  Even if the machines are not exactly like your old gym you may get used to the new gym machines.  I know when I moved I had to adjust and now I am fine becaue the convenience is too nice to track farther away for better equipment.  On some weekends I go to better location but mostly I go right by my home because it is less than 5 min away.  The other one is like 15 min plus depending on traffic. 

Glad to see you back and you will get to that normal BMI. 

The new club opens on Aug. 29th and I have to give notice to my old club on Sept. 1st.  I think a couple days will give me a feel for the new club.  thanks, Just me
