About me...I used to be active, fit and full energy. Divorce, more than 10 years of single parenting, death of a parent, starting a business, going back to school and getting remarried led to the inevitable weight gain of chronic stress and fatigue. Now that the kids are grown, the marriage is hitting its groove and the brain started working I am ready to get me back. However, on the day I turned 40 an internal switch shut down my body! I look at ice cream and gain 10 lbs. If I exercise everyday all I get is tired. My mind wants to play but my body wants to retire. I have been a member of this site for some time but I have not been consistent in using its resources. I've taken a few years to learn about the changes I am experiencing and to educate myself on exercise and nutrition (all the stuff I used to take for granted). I look forward to getting to know some fellow sojourners as I return to an active and healthy lifestyle in my new body.
