We came back to Houghton, a small town in the center of the Keweenaw Peninsula, after being away for 5 years, 4 of which were spent in Ann Arbor and the final of which was spent in Flagstaff, Arizona. When we came back, my body started to work again. I went to the gym every day. 30 minutes on the bike. 20 minutes on the treadmill. Weight training with arms on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 3 repetitions of 8. Legs on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. 3 repetitions of 10. My periods came back. 28 days apart. I lost 10 pounds. I looked in the mirror and thought I was beautiful.
