You look beautiful… But it was 40 that made me realize that the 15 pounds I’d been gathering up better hit the road before it was impossible to do so.

Now I’m almost 42 and I’m working on losing it again…
And I never got the boobage. ( whine!)

But it feels great to get healthy. 40’s are a blessed decade… and you look 30 at most.

Dear Wende:

40 is the beginning….

It’s when I first started to really understand myself and what’s important to me. It’s when I let go and began to really have fun and relax about myself. It’s when life became incredibly more layered and interesting.

You’re at the threshold of something great. Open your arms and embrace it.

And tell Jillian I said “hey”…I’m not allowed within 100 feet….

Hey,

You look better than fine, but if you want to take some avoirdupois off you might want to read Gary Taubes (Good Calories, Bad Calories). Really, carbs are not your friend…

40 looks good on you, boobage and all. Don’t get me started on my ankles…
And it’s always good to have a nemesis on the back burner for when you need rage-fueled energy.

Boobage!! I know what you mean, I gain weight there too and I don’t like it much. Honey, is it wrong to say that I still think you look 30? (if that) 50 was a hard year for me between colonoscopy, blood pressure issues, etc…I don’t know anything about this horrid Jillian Michaels person and would rather not.

You are adorable. Top to boobage. (I’m sure you’re adorable top to bottom, but you didn’t let us see that part.)

And you look at least 20 years younger than me. Can’t believe the number is less than that. *could I be any vaguer?*

You kill me. You are so funny. The last fire I lit was slow burning, took years to turn into a blaze, and resulted in a mini French Revolution. Now I’m so busy, I can’t think about new fires…

…and when was the last time you heard me say the word “Boobage?”

The men in your life are a little more articulate than that. I believe we refer to them as Boob A and Boob-B…

I think you look FANTASTIC! Boobs are good. If I lose a pound, guess where it comes off? Happy 40th.

I don’t know how much I need a workout after laughing my abs into a tight knot just now but I did promise to swear at Jillian, didn’t I?

You look younger than me. And I’m almost a decade behind you. Yeah. You’re hot. (The boobs are hurting you, either…:-D)

And Dear Jillian is a great addition to the blog. I will be reading it often.

Congrats again on the birthday!
