What do I want to do this year? I want to be Fabulous and Forty.
No really, anyone who knows me knows that I ADORE my birthday, I am not one of those that say "oh it's just another day" or "uggh, don't remind me"
I didn't have a problem turning thirty, And I'm not going to have a problem turning Forty!
Especially when I have a huge smashing "Fabulous and Forty" birthday party in September. And you are all invited!
I am talking 5000 of my nearest and dearest! Ok well not that many, but still. I want all my friends and family to come and be fabulous with me.
I had two surgeries on my face, one in 2009 and then again in 2011 to remove cancer that left me self conscious about how I look and how others look at me. And you know what? I'm here, I'm alive, and I'm not going to worry about them, and after a lot of time, they don't actually look that bad.
I busted my butt and lost 30 lbs last year and hope to lose another 10 lbs before my birthday. Because I want to be that woman that my husband is proud to have on his arm, the woman who is so stunning that he just walks around and says "Yep, that's my wife, she's fabulous and forty"
I want to be healthy and live long enough to see my sons live their life. I want them to be proud of me, I want to be able to run with them at soccer practice, to practice Karate moves with them. And I want to be Fabulous!
So is it a resolution? If you wanted to call it that you could. For me I'm calling it a way of life! A life I can't wait to get busy living!

Love it Erin! You are so very fabulous- *that* I know for sure!
Way to go! 30lbs is awesome! I suspect your hubby has always proclaimed your fabulosity! Best of luck 2012 will be as fabulous as you want it to be!!!
Go Girl. The Forties really are great. Not bump free mind you ~ but the older I get, the more secure I become in me. That's wonderful. Keep up the good work losing weight.
You're already fabulous.
And in your 40s? You start to stop caring what other people think.
That is one of the best gifts you can give yourself!
Rock it!
You go girl!!!! I wish you all the best in 2012!
A way of life is a wonderful way to look at it. This was very inspirational, thank you. And I have no doubt you'll make 40 fabulous. I'M COMING TO THE PARTY!
What a GREAT "resolution"!!! I love Birthdays too & heck yeah when I turn 40 espeically if I have lost weight like you have done I am going to call myself fabulous too. Good for you!!!
Awesome, you! Seriously, I'm struggling with this whole weight loss thing. I'm sure your husband is proud of having you on his arm either way, but I still wish you tons of success accomplishing your goal! I love my birthday, so much that I usually celebrate it for a week. But, I don't love aging. It's just not for me:).
Erin, you've had some challenges this past year, and yet you have such a great attitude! By the way, the forties ARE indeed fabulous! :)
LOVE it! You are going to rock 40 girl, and I'm not too far behind you!
