Day 404: The Truth Shall Set You Free

G'day Shredders,

Yesterday I "unveiled" my first attempt at blogging a physique transformation. This was the first time I had ever referred to it on this blog, even though I have discussed it in depth in My Biggest Secret free report.

While I had been thinking of doing this for a while I was still very hesitant to put my failed physique transformation attempt on display. The reason is because I barely recognize that guy anymore, it may seem weird but it honestly feels like it is someone else (in a way that is true).

However, after 404 days of being consistent on this blog I now feel I can reflect on that period of my life objectively without the risk of deflating my confidence and self-esteem (and feeling like I might return there one day).

To tell you the truth I was also unsure how my fellow Shredders may react to seeing that old blog as it really is the antithesis of this one.

However, I decided to trust my gut and open it up as my experience with this blog has proven to me that if you speak the truth about who you are and where you have come from people will respect that (rather than perceive you in a negative light).

But the comments I received on yesterday's post from my Fellow Shredders really overwhelmed me. You guys really touched me with your posts, so much so that I am speechless and couldn't think of what to write back in the comments section that would do your comments justice.

Thank you very much Nick, Suzette, Tea, Christy and Lilla.

I think I need a little more time to digest your specific questions regarding my mindset during this time period because that old mindset is so far removed from my current mindset. It's going to take time for me to put my thoughts in a coherent fashion.

However, I will discuss where I went wrong with my weight training, cardio and nutrition during this time period over the coming days and weeks.

For my fellow Shredders who are new to this I do believe there is one very important thing you take away from this post.

When you speak the truth as you see it, you become stronger and the people who read your blog will see that.

In short, The truth shall set you free...

P.S.
As you can probably tell I have been in a very reflective mood the last 2 days. A part of the reason why is because of this ongoing contest that I referred to on Day 401. To be honest I am getting little tired of seeing that thumbnail image used to represent my video as it does continually remind me of my first blog attempt (and also because I'm in pajama shorts!)

Anyway, below is the current state of play between the Top 3 videos (by Digg Count).
