Discussion Is it that time already?

I just turned 40. I went to a new gym last night and did a class. After the class, the coach (who could have been anywhere like 25 to early 30s) was super nice and chatty and asked me about my fitness goals. I said "well, I just turned 40..." and was about to talk about how I want to ramp up my fitness to honor the milestone and I got interrupted with, "40?? You look great!!"

Now I'm wondering if he was early 20s. Was not expecting that response. Anyone else fell it's a bit premature?

I recently had a hysterectomy and one of the nurses prepping me for the OR said I didn’t look my age and genuinely seemed sincere. I gave my usual response (“it’s because I decided not to have kids!”). I can’t believe that everyone is being honest when they tell me that but damn if it doesn’t make me feel good in the moment!

Happened to me with my most recent mammogram. They ask you your birthdate as a stop check when you sign in. And she said “I never would have guessed!”
