[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 198221, member: 17713"] Hi Muddled Maxine Don't forget housework still burns calories....no doubt some more advice and better than my comment will come along...but think the best thing from my point of view that keeps me motivated nowadays is being positive that housework does count!!!!! Little things count too, such as if you travel to work by car-park the car a little further away to walk abit more, or always walk up the stairs at work. If there are wheelie chairs (as I call them) rather than whizzing across the room on a chair-get up and walk it... Or turning the tv over-don't use the remote..get up and change it over... That's the little things that motivate me more..I may not be going to the gym, but I do everything within my own surroundings that I am able to do to give myself that little bit more exercise...that motivates me into thinking at least I am doing some exercise.... As for my motivation with my diabetes..nowadays it is because I have seen the darker side of diabetes, not through complications fortunately. Mine was also because I was told 'I WILL' get complications....and I have always wanted to prove people wrong!!!!So far I have....and there are loads of people that are successfully managing and that too is the motivation to me. You will manage it too...just that after diagnosis, it is a lot to take onboard... [/QUOTE]
