Monthly Update??

Unfortunately it has been a very long time since I have made the time to post. Life as a working parent is a busy one; out of the house by 7:30 am, drop off Owen to school, get to work for the day, pick up Owen around 4:30 - 5:00, get home, get some dinner in all of us and enjoy our evening together before getting ready for bed. I have had a few months of work now and have settled into the routine pretty well, I'm able to stay awake longer than Owen in the evening.

So now that I have that all sorted, I've started working out! It's no secret that I've put on a lot of weight in the past two years and now I feel I have the energy to do something about it. I started in mid January going twice a week to see a personal trainer. As expected, it has been about a month of pure exhaustion while I get used to it but it has proven to be such a great choice. My mental health has improved greatly as well as my physical, both were not doing so well. I'm looking forward to gaining some more fitness and start running again, I've started slowly on a treadmill without any balance issues so far. 

Coming home one night after working out. Yes, I'm smiling.

I also had an MRI recently to check on the remaining tumor. Turns out I was supposed to have one six months after the last but due to a miscommunication it ended up being 16 months. I'll be honest, I was pretty stressed out for the few days waiting for my results, I don't know if I could do this all over again! 

Well, good news, nothing has changed since the surgery so next MRI is scheduled for two years from now. What a relief.

Oh, and to top it all off, I turned 40.

Not to sure how I feel about that yet.
