Starting with the (wo)man in the mirror

So, I have decided to make a change, an overall change in outlook, health and my life. This past weekend included blood draws for diabetes and an MRI to check the size of my pituitary gland because of a hormonal imbalance. Both of these procedures could have been avoided if I took better care of myself. It has been a while since I had an MRI and I completely forgot how small that chamber is. DAMN! As I laid there completely still listening to that jackhammer sound, I cursed myself for not putting my health first and made a promise to myself to make a change. What is the point of having a child if I am not going to do my best to be around for him as healthy as I possibly can be? No test results yet. Hoping and praying tests are negative and this is just my wake up call. I have started working out again and eating healthy. Overall, it is going well. One step at a time, one step at a time.
