The key though I have to say for me is staying fit through the years has allowed me to enter into this new decade strong and reasonably lean with a lot of endurance and stamina to deal with life as a single mom and business owner.

Remember, you can pick up a weight or run a marathon at any age and make huge strides in both your physical and mental health by incorporating any small or large fitness goal into your life!

So with that said, I am excited to be 40 tomorrow and so looking forward to all the exciting experiences this decade will bring…so, bring it on!! :)

Please always remember that the journey to your weight loss goal requires you to be gentle with yourself and to understand that the weight did not come on “overnight” and will not disappear “overnight”.  Take one small step at a time so all the changes don’t seem so overwhelming.  Enjoy the process and the outcome will follow!

Good luck everyone!

So, enjoy!  …and if everything goes South there’s always our Pounds Off Classic 8 week contest to enter :)
