Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

I'm Karen Hunter and I'm on a 40-day journey this year.

This is going to be my best year ever.

So I started the year with this concept and you can go back into previous podcast

to find out why I'm doing 40 days. But I kicked off the 40 days with the bank. Today is actually

my 40th of the day. February 9th is my 40th day. And as I calculated the whole calendar,

you know, tomorrow I start a new 40 day journey. And as I calculated the whole calendar, you know, tomorrow, I start a new 40-day journey.

And I was really doing well, you know, I started the new year off correctly. I committed to

go into the gym two to three times. I actually was doing it three times a week. I also said I was

going to fast once a week for 24 hours. I fasted on January 7th. Got

through that. That was great, but didn't go back and do it again. So that's something I'm

going to improve upon these next 40 days. I'm going to actually commit to doing that.

I had an amazing 40 days. I interviewed Ramon Rodriguez from Will Trent, Harlan Coben,

the great writer who's also doing a bunch of TV shows. Jesse Williams, I got to meet him,

get a big hug on January 14th. I came into the city to New York and hung out with him a little

bit. Daniel Black was in town. He did a Martin

King thing at the New York Public Library and I got to spend time with him and had dinner

with him and let me Daniel favors. It was beautiful. I was having a great 40 days. It was amazing.

And I was looking good. Let me just say, the first time in my entire life, I was not obsessed with the scale. I told myself,

for the first two weeks, I was not going to get on the scale. I was just going to do what I'm doing.

I don't know how much I weigh. And then the third week I was going to, I even bought, I bought this really high- tech, expensive biometric scale that calculates your

body fat and takes all of your vitals.
