Reality bites!
This last week and a half was a real trial. It ended with a funeral and began with the flu, it is amazing how sobering a funeral is, nothing is more final than death or more humanising.
The seven days leading up to the funeral I had had the flu and in fact the day of the funeral I ended up with a gastro bug to boot, but these things suddenly seem so inconsequential and minor when put into some proper perspective.
In fact it is these minor things that often trip us up along our life’s journey and especially when we are trying to change some habits, but sitting in the middle of a chapel watching a person who you knew be put to rest pushes all of those little trials and tribulations into perspective.
So all though I had a really good weight loss result of 1.5 kilos I am aware that some of that may be due to gastro and the flu despite this, the rather unsettling events of the past week have reinforced the fact that this a life changing journey I am taking is worthy of perseverance and commitment .

Oi! Still there? How are things going these days? Are you still walking? Did you ever get the bike to try out interval training? I need an update on your journey, please!

It’s been well over a week for a weekly posting - have you faded away to nothing? Big brother is watching you know.
