Happy birthday to me!

Ok so I am still here. I didn't shrivel up and wilt away now that I am 40! The world didn't come to an end. In fact, I am almost excited to be 40 (don't get carried away, I said ALMOST! lol). See I figure, I get to start over, beginning of a new year so to speak, new decade. I kind of get a do-over (since 40 is the new 30 and all). I get to do everything that I didn't get to do in my 30's! My 40's are going to be SO MUCH better than my 30's!!! I'm pysched! Maybe I've been watching too much Oprah... lol Nah.. 40 will be great! I'll get to be a mom, hopefully not once but twice (I got 10 years to do it!). I am going to travel more even if it is little cheap road trips. And hey, I'm going to CHINA! Woohooo! And then maybe Ethiopia, or Vietnam. Who knows where my second child will come from. Maybe China again! Ok let me calm down a bit! haha Let's get the first child first. haha That's what hubby likes to say, but hey I'm a planner, it's what we do, PLAN!

I'm going to loose more weight!! Which brings me to my weight update.. I am extending my birthday weight goal till the end of March as I have 12 more lbs to go for the first mark. Then after that I'll have about 55 lbs to go. I plan to start hiking again when it starts getting warmer. I don't think I'll loose 12 lbs in 2 weeks..haha But that's ok, as long as it keeps going down I'll be happy.
