Testing

Hope this works. Would make it so much easier to blog.

It's my life and I'm taking it back!!!

So, I have made a decision. I am reclaiming my life. I have lived in the shadow of Ethan's illness for entirely too long. His cancer is GONE, he is back to life and now it is my turn. For too long I have not taken care of myself. I take medicine to control my blood pressure and even though I have lost nearly 20 pounds, I am still at least 25 over an ideal weight for me.

Today I made the first step. I went to the gym...ALONE. Not because someone wanted to go, or because I wanted to be there to make myself feel like I was doing something good for me, but because I wanted to be there. It was me time. My time to take back my life. Take control over the insecurities and anger that I have let brew inside me over the years. I decided to journal about it on this blog, try to have a record of what my life is now and watch it become so much more!
