For the last 29 years I have done what mothers around the world do; I have taken care of everyone else. The last five years have been even more intense, working on bringing kids home and parenting through some really rough stuff. Then 21 months ago came cancer, and I found myself in for the fight of my life. "Taking care of me" meant keeping me alive.
Now it is time for me to turn the tables. Oh, I have made half-hearted attempts in the past, but this is
it. This is the time for me to take care of me, from the inside out. Getting rid of all the left-over crap that hangs on my body, and replacing it with a new, healthier version of me. One who has the energy and ambition to keep up with the life we have created here. The commitment has been made. My trainer(s) are waiting, the weights are waiting, the cycles are waiting, the sweat is waiting, the pain is waiting.
So here is my "before", for all the world to see.
