One of my bosses is turning 40 in a few months and so she decided that she'd go on a diet and start out her 40s looking as good as she wants to. I'm very proud of her. I, on the other hand, am looking a 30 in 2 1/2 years, and am SO not where I want to be. I hear that 30's are better than the 20's and the 40s are even better than that. Congrats on being 40 to all of you ladies!!

And the 50's are even better than THAT, if you keep biking!

I can't believe I'm 41. Turning 40 didn't bother me at all because I didn't believe it was happening! I never thought I'd make it to 25, the way I used to abuse myself when I was younger, so being in my 40s is all icing on the cake!
I agree with what all the other ladies have said. I'm financially and mentally and physically in good shape and am enjoying life! It's all a number and a state of mind.

I was just starting to reflect on what it meant to be 40 when I got diagnosed with breast cancer.
Then when I was just starting to reflect on being 50 I got fired in a horrible way from my job that I really liked.
Then today I was looking for a new sig and found this one.
Sums it up, really

Ebf!
I am turning 35 in March.
I have a 5 year goal/plan
Race Elite By Forty (EBF).
This year i will attempt Master Expert (mountain biking). it will be tough with the surgery recovery, but all my buddies have now told me they are NOT letting me NOT race expert (i have been racing in the sport category for quite some time).
i am little nervous about 40, but my 30's were far better than my 20's, so i am hoping like wine, i will get better with age!

I LOVE that you ladies are so optimistic about aging. Unfortunately, in our society the only age that is good is the young one. However, I can say that I am still confused and frustrated at 27. Maybe you will all start a movement to overturn this whole "younger is better" thing. When I hit 29, I'll come back and reanimate this thread for support.

what turning 40 means to me.....
Freedom.....
I love being in my 40's.....the only downside for me is that it takes longer to recover from hard training, and if that is the worst of it, I will take it.
I am a better wife, daughter, sister, friend and teacher than I was 10 years ago. Compiled life experience gave me that gift, and I cherish it.
