Hey everyone,
As the subject says, I'm 42. I have two daughters (15 and 7) and I own an Accounting business in NH. I am also a singer and have been fortunate enough to share stages with some country greats (Tracy Byrd, Mark Wills, George Jones, Chuck Wicks and several others in past few years). I have gone thru some major life challenges & changes over the past several years, and put my needs and my health on hold for far too long in order to accommodate my crazy schedule and keep everyone around me happy. Enough is enough. Since I can't stop working, and I certainly can't make my kids raise themselves, I have taken time away from the only other place I can think of in order to concentrate on my health for a while. I am taking a break from singing in order to put as much time and effort as possible into getting healthy. I have a little over 100 pounds to lose, and I am determined that I will do it this time. It would be awesome to hook up with some other people on here that can relate! I'd love to hear from others getting started on their health journey as well.
