A small thing that not everyone might have noticed is this:
I’ve lost about 8kg from November till now (we started at 79kg), or 5.7, if you’re looking at the first recorded picture in which I started tracking my journey.
I like the idea of weight loss, and how it makes a person think about how to manage their life – how they eat, how you push yourself, how they think about the world; all of these things offer different and interesting points of reflection, because they’re all related to a broader question:
How do we allocate our resources and time to condition ourselves towards optimality and decide how we look and how we feel?
What you eat basically encompasses the physical things that you choose to consume or digest – if you don’t deal with that properly by deciding correctly what you should or shouldn’t eat, you’ll end up in trouble because the resources that you’re putting in decide what kind of physique or body you’re going to get.
On the other hand, how you push yourself in the gym decides what muscles grow stronger, how they stabilize and what will recover – how hard you push yourself in the gym and when you do so affects what your body will direct resources towards and in turn the direction of the healing process.
Lastly, how you think about the world is key – it decides whether you will work or if you will rest, even your attitude towards rest and life at large, even as you shape yourself as a thinking person and in the different and broader aspects of your life.
Embarking on this journey was unexpected but has been deeply rewarding, and I’m looking forward to sharing more (gratuitous shirtless pics? We hope not but I think it’ll be at that point LOL) on my new Instagram feed, @fitsepup, which you can follow right over here!
Thank you for reading, and catch you in the next ones!
