Taking back control over my body.

The gift I've received is...: 
I'm taking back control over my body.
The story behind this gift is...: 

I signed up the family at the YMCA and started working out on the machines and taking classes.  Again, another thing I always wanted to do but never did.  Now I ask "why not?" and go do it.  

The loss corresponding to my gift is...: 
It's not as easy as it looks.
The story behind this loss is...: 

Okay, so I took a Pilates class.  The instructor told us to lie on our backs and raise our feet off the ground.  I couldn't make my feet budge.  It took all of my self-control to keep from sobbing and running out of the room.  Just another thing I lost that reminded me of how my body was ravaged by cancer.  Cancer stinks and it is still sneaking up on me to kick my behind.
