40 by 40!

Okay I started this blog on my birthday back in September to document my journey to my 40th year. 
(yes for all my classmates who are wondering...I skipped a grade back in the day..so yes I have a whole 7months left before I join the "club")

But then I got to thinking...do I really want to advertise this?   Is this something I want to discuss?  Do I want to put myself out there like that?  As I am a pretty private person, my initial thought was a resounding NO...so I kinda dropped it and never mentioned the blog's existence...of course I didn't delete it.  So now after some more thought I have decided to bring it back.  Not because I enjoy putting my life out there...but because I have decided one of the things I need is more ACCOUNTABILITY with my goals.  Having been encouraged by my neighbor Mike's blog and my SNMA buddy Tyese...I recognize the value in putting your goals out there so there is some sense of increased accountability on your part.

So in that vein I am sharing one of my BIG (no pun intended) goals to achieve prior to my 40th Birthday

I plan to lose 40 pounds before I turn 40. 

so for all of you who will be keeping track...that is a little over 7months to lose 40 lbs...a little less than 6lbs a month. 
I chose a modest and achievable goal...as I am looking at long term weight loss for my health's sake...not vanity so i didn't want to lose more than 1-2lbs a week something I feel is sustainable and achievalble. (yes I believe that is called a SMART goal)

There I said it...it is out there now I can't take it back...I have to begin to work on it.  Cause I am sure all my online buddies will help keep me honest

Whew!...glad that is off my chest

And now that my home gym setup is complete with the addition of my bike trainer (although I am still trying to figure out how to get my bike on there) and my kettleworx DVDs (because I do soooo love kettlebell workouts) that just arrived today I am set! 

So stay tuned...more details about how I will work towards this minor miracle tomorrow.

Peace, Health and Blessings

  1. Aw, crap! I thought I was the youngest one in our class! (Skipped a grade, too. I turn 40 in June.)

    Well, I'm disappointed, but good luck with your goal anyway!
