Fit By 40

Sooooo, Sunday was my birthday.  I've been celebrating since last Thursday (yikes).  Needless to say, I didn't do great this week according to the scale (gained 1.6 lbs).  But I'm going to choose to NOT focus on that and focus on how I made my goal of Fit By 40!

I used to define this as being at my goal weight... but I had to redefine that goal because I am not even close.  I'm 2/3 of the way there... this summer really messed me up.  BUT again, it's not about the weight right now.  I'll tell you what Fit By 40 means to me now...

1. I can walk up the stairs in my house and not be out of breath
2. I can go for a walk with my husband and I'm not winded the entire time (and not embarrased)
3. I can run a 5k (I've done 2 this year)
4. I can run a 5k obstacle course (I've done 2 this year)
5. I know what eating healthy means, I do it over 90% of the time
6. I can zumba for 3 hours (that was my first introduction to zumba) with NO BREAKS
7. I can run 1 mile in 11 minutes and 10 seconds (my best time so far)
8. I no longer have heart burn on a daily basis (and not taking two different daily meds)
9. My blood pressure medicine was cut by 75%
10. I can do 250 squats, 40 push ups and 100 leg lifts in less than a 1/2 hour

I could go on and on really... but I'd say I'm Fit by 40! When I hit my goal weight, I'll then be focusing on what this whole blog is...

I can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After!
