I’ve plastered this picture over all (and by that I mean 2) of my social media sites, so I figured I might as well put it here, too. I’m sorry to whomever has had to see it three times by now. Haha.

I had decided to try to lose 50 lbs this year. More for my health than for anything else, really. And I did it! It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I don’t think I’ve ever lost weight before, honestly. I just gained and gained and gained. But I did it.

Anyway, enough rambling.
