I climbed a mountain yesterday...

I climbed a mountain yesterday...up to 10,747'. A 2500' elevation climb... my hardest trek yet in the least amount of miles to climb it. It was effing AMAZING. And then my friend took a pic of me as I was taking in the entire view and I couldn't even believe it was me. I may run, and hike, and count calories and work my AS* OFF (literally) but then there was that moment of complete shock. I have a WAIST, Those are MY legs. I just climbed the highest peak in my life and feel FU**ING FANTASTIC. It still amazes me that I weighed 376 POUNDS a year and a half ago...302 a YEAR AGO. And today I am 216 with many more pounds to go. But I climbed a mountain and at the moment...don't even care about how much I weigh.
