And then there was sun. And there was blue sky. There was my usual breakfast and my stroll through town, but soon enough there was also the metro ride to the beach at Poblenou. And then there was the beach and doing nothing but reading, and lying in the sun, and swimming a bit. The sea is amazing! It's fairly wild and the waves are high, but it's not scary. Moreover, the water temperature this late in the summer is just wonderful.
The picture was taken in the evening, as I strolled through the old Gothic area of the city. Years ago I took a picture of myself against an old door in a narrow street...
... that was in 2006. Since then I gained a lot of weight, until Jan this year. And then I started losing weight. A lot of weight. So that the picture I took tonight shows me, six years older, but actually slimmer and leaner than I've been in a long time. Having lost so much weight this year still feels absolutely awesome. Not only do I look better than I've looked in years (at least in my humble opinion), I also feel so much better. Seeing myself in today's picture, against that same door as where I stood six years ago, made me feel super about what I've achieved weight wise this year.
