I turn 40 in 120 days. Four months.

I’ve always said I don’t want to be overweight my entire life. I want the second half of my life to be the healthier half.

I am approximately 30 pounds overweight. I am 5’2” and as of today I weigh 158.6. I really want to be at 130 by my 40th birthday. It will take more dedication than I’ve ever given before. It will require me being tougher with myself than normal.

It’s very important for me to meet this goal. I need my kids to see me healthy, happy, active - all the things I encourage in them.

Weekly weigh-ins will happen to keep me honest and on track.

I’m excited, nervous, anxious - all things that have previously derailed me. Not this time.
