40 By 40

On October 8th, I turned 36. I am starting the downward slide to 40. Although this may bother most. It does not me. One, I still feel like I am 23. I hope I act like I am 23 as well. Old enough to know better, but still to young to care.  I probably act more like a old grandmother, fussing over friends and family.  Two, I am excited for the next four years. I have goals I want to achieve, and I am taking steps to achieve them by 40.  I have 40 of those goals actually...  Along with my weight loss journey, I will also be documenting this as well. It kind of goes hand and hand with my weight loss journey.
