Any advice for re-focusing after a vacation?

I started doing MFP seriously back in September of last year. I've been dedicated and focused and have had great success....

In January, I went to Mexico for 2 weeks to visit family and since I've been back I have found it SO difficult to re-focus. Today I have decided to *start again* - this will be part 2 to the journey. (I'm about halfway to my goal so this is the perfect time.)

I'm planning on re-setting my Polar Watch Heart Rate Monitor as well and erase all my exercise history and goals and start brand new.

I don't know if this will give me the burst of motivation I need to re-focus myself but it's worth a try!

Anyone have any advice? How have you gotten back on track again after a few weeks?

    This may sound silly...but, I look myself in the eye in the mirror and say out loud, "I am 100% committed today!"

    Congrats on the success you've had so far. You can do it!

    It sounds like you are taking the right steps in that direction, so keep it up! I did the same thing after vacation last year and I am just now starting to really get back into a groove. Good luck!

    You've got this. It sounds like you're already in the right mindset.

    same advise for daily focus... take some good looks at your before pictures. all it takes is some before photos to put me into kick *kitten* weight loss mode...
