This September 6th I turn the big 4-0.  I feel pretty good about turning 40.  I’m actually pretty excited to see what this next decade brings.

 

However, I’m not feeling good about where I am with my weight currently.   Over the last couple of months, I have gained several pounds and I’m NOT happy about it.  I broke my own rule in my tips book, which is to attack small weight gains quickly.  Well, I didn’t attack it quickly and now it’s become a not so small weight gain.

 

I could give a million reasons why I gained this weight.  But, the fact of the matter is, I need to not make excuses and get my focus back where it needs to be.

 

So, here’s my publically stated goal:  I will lose 15 pounds by the time I turn 40!  It’s going to be a difficult goal, but I know I can do it.  

 

Starting tomorrow I will begin to track my progress on my blog - so follow along and I’ll share tips and emotions as I approach the BIG 40!
