Vacation - before and after losing weight

Three years ago, I went to Costa Rica with my sister and had a blast. But, if I'm honest with myself, my weight and lack of fitness limited what we could do. We hiked, but it was hard. And when it came to the pictures we took, I didn't want to share any of me.

A few months later, I started CICO, logging, weighing and measuring, and integrating exercise into my life. A year after that, I hit my weight loss goal and two years later have maintained an 80-ish pound weight loss.

I just got back from vacation in Iceland with my sister. We spent 10 days driving the Ring Road around the country, camping, hiking and taking pictures. And this time the pictures make me smile.
