progress

I've never really done a before and after shot. I didn't ever think I'd lose weight so I never did a full length official before shot so while looking through old vacation photos and suffering from major wanderlust I decided this is the closest I can get to a before/after analysis of my progress. 

2007 the cookie monster shirt ... in Greece (approx 142-144 lbs) -- for the longest time, these photos are where I felt the "smallest" and best about myself.

Toronto/New York Road Trip 2009 (approx 152-155lbs) - I had just found out I was losing my job. 

I only have a handful of pictures of myself from this trip and most are from the shoulders up 

because I felt that bad about myself. 

Fast Forward 2.5 years, many miles logged and 25 lbs less, the Cookie Monster Shirt reappears in Miami
 Approx. weight: 127-130.

Key West

 And yes... I wore a 2 piece! I may be pale and still a bit soft, but I was brave. And now I'm being brave and posting this photo!
