Watch out 50. I'm coming after you next.

Friday, May 21, 2010

So, I turned 40 Yesterday and for the past few years, my goal has been to look and feel better than I did in my 30s.
If I do say so myself, I think I accomplished that. Maybe I have a few more grey hairs and my skin is not as smooth and youthful as it once was, but for the 1st time ever, I feel like I can walk around without a shirt on and be proud of how I look.
My primary goal was to be able to see my abs by my 40th birthday. I'm happy to say that I can see most of them. I was going to post a picture, but out of respect for PTESORO, I have decided not to.
I still have a lot of wok to do and I will continue to eat well and exercise. I continue to learn new things about my body every day and I'm excited to see what I will know by my 50th birthday.
Thanks to everyone who has given me support since I joined and to all of my Sparkfriends who have been there for me when I needed help.
I'd especially like to thank Alesia for loving me and making me realize that there is life after 40 as she has given me something to live for.
Thanks all

    Happy birthday and congratulations on the great work! I am turning 41 in June and am finding myself getting a lot more healthy and fit in my 40's than I did when I was younger.
