Well, you can probably tell that I’ve not been around much. A lot has happened to me and my family the past few months and as a result, I’ve not been online as much as I would have liked.

That being said, mental health is as big of an issue to maintain as well as weight. Being away from the internet has certainly helped my mental state a bit: I’ve been busy trying to maintain my mind and other aspects like my social life and family life. With my mother recently having a manic episode, I’ve established how important mental health is too.

So, in order to maintain my mental health, I’m trying to minimise excessive stress. I’m exersising more (Thanks to Wii fit and having to walk to Uni multiple times a day), and am planning to bring in more fresh fruits, vegetables, good meats and vitamins into my diet. I’m spending more time with friends and classmates, which I personally need to do: I can’t be living in a country for the rest of my life without friends.

I’m continuing with my diet too. It’s lapsed a bit since being in Sydney, but thankfully I didn’t gain much weight, if any.

I now have a proper goal to reach. I’m determined to lose another 10kg minimum. another 15kg at max. I need to tone up. I need to gain muscle and lose fat. My goal is to be this way by November. Why November? Well, it’s highly likely I’ll be going on my dream world trip with my parents and brother at the end of the year, and I want to be my best.

I’m glad that Wii fit records my weight, BMI and achievements every time I play. It’s a constant reminder that I am aiming for something, and seeing the chart go up rather than down is very disappointing. Here’s hoping from here on in I can make that chart travel downwards.

I’ll be updating more regularly too. I need it.
