Okay, so a couple of days ago I bit the bullet and actually published my first post. Hard to believe that I wrote that six months ago in January. Ah January, when it was summer, daylight savings was in full swing and it was warm. Fast forward six months and I find myself walking to work and it’s -3 and all I could think of was my upcoming annual leave which includes a beach trip.

A few things have happened since January. I guess for starters the weight loss thing has been great. The program I have been doing has definitely done its job and while it certainly has had its challenges, I’ve been able to reap the rewards. I don’t want to ramble on and on about how much weight I have lost as everyone is generally the first to make comments on the physical changes but not much is said about the mental changes that can occur or more surprisingly that haven’t.

I recently posted a photo with a recent transformation photo (see below). The comments were overwhelming and it was amazing how many people had actually been following this little weight loss mission who perhaps I didn’t think really paid attention. There were lots of comments about how different I must feel etc, but to be honest, I don’t feel like I’ve changed that much. Has my fitness improved? Yes, it certainly has. Has my clothing size changed? Yes. However, when I look back at the photo on the left to the one on the right, it’s actually hard to say whether or not my mindset has also taken that giant step. I have been reassured that maybe that will all happen when I reach my first goal weight (~4kg away), so in the meantime be sure to watch this space as I’m sure there are numerous musings that shall come to fruition in the meantime.
