It is photos like these that make me so ready to leave the cold and snow behind for some fun in the sun with these lovely people.

However, over this last year I've been on a mission to become more comfortable in my own skin. In addition to the fun pictures of our friends on vacation, I came across this photo which was actually taken one year ago today...
I think it is a little funny that I happen to go to the gym today and took another picture of the scale...
When I originally stepped on the scale this morning, the thought that ran through my head was "I really feel like I'm going to have a fat day" (those days that the scale is just higher for no real reason). I was surprised by the number I was looking at because this is the lowest weight I've seen the scale in probably about a decade, so I needed to take a picture. I was happy to see that 154.6, but I've been pretty hard on myself lately because I really wanted to see under 150 by the time I go on vacation in two weeks. I'm pretty sure that isn't going to happen because over these last few months, it's getting harder and harder for that scale to keep going down because I'm gaining more muscle and have less fat to lose.
However, I think I was meant to see that 192.1 picture today. I was meant to see it because I really have come a pretty long way in just one year (a total on 37.5 pounds). I need to be nicer to myself and realize that I have done something I really didn't think was possible just one year ago. With some hard work and dedication anything is possible; you just have to be willing to really try and put your mind to it.
So in two weeks I'm going to hit the beach, show off all my hard work, and just enjoy this time in our lives. Also, I plan on getting a new picture on the beach with me in my new bikini! I worked hard for it so may as well show off a bit.
