This June is a big month for me because it’s the time of year when I officially switch from drinking hot coffee to iced coffee. It’s also when I get to break out my flip-flops. Oh, yeah . . . and, um, I’m turning 40 this month.
Honestly, it’s really exciting and I’d have to say that the only thing about turning 40 that I’m not looking forward to is turning 40. Other than that, I’m thrilled!
For example, now that I’ll be in my 40s, I can finally say that I’m older than every single currently active professional athlete. How cool is that?! Oh, wait, that’s not so cool at all. It’s terrifying. I mean, how stupid will I look at the U.S. Open this year when I’m trying to get Rafael Nadal to sign my giant tennis ball? Answer: very. Read the Rest of the Story

Well, I’m 40! (With an exclamation point no less!) Yes, I turned 40 a few months ago. I have to say until my dr. appt. yesterday I really embraced 40, last night I didn’t and today.. even worse.
Let me start at the beginning.
For my 40th birthday, I had a birthday party. I have family and friends around. My husband, son and 2 step daughters (kids are 7, 15, & 17 respectively) were also with me. I had a great time and really found myself embracing the 40 year old syndrome. I am reasonably active after work, but during the day, I have a day job and sit at a desk all day.
So, after my birthday, I continue with my life, but a funny thing started to happen, I started to feel more confident. It was like a revelation one day. I felt like I gave off an aura of confidence and I felt sexy!! I felt more sexy at 40 than I did in my 30’s. Maybe because I could flirt with younger men and know I could get away with it. (no sexual innuendo’s just flirt). Maybe I was embracing the cougar in me. I felt more comfortable in my skin. So, life is good…
Well then I started noticing little things, my size 8 shorts didn’t fit.. uh-oh I went to a size 10…o.k. I wanted to get back into the gym more often. I started doing the workout that I did at 37 and –oh my the size 10 shorts are getting..umm snug..I also added modifying my food intake–diet for all of the non-dieters–which is something i didn’t do before.
