Day 45 - 270.5: Say Hello to my Little Friends

Students returned to school today.  The day went fairly well: nothing unexpected, but the usual exhaustion by midday.  When students left in the afternoon, my principal invited us to leave early.  Oh, how I wanted to come home and collapse on the couch.  This is such a draining day.  But...I didn't do it.  I hauled my tired, achy self to Jazzercise, realizing when I arrived that along with my new students, my other "little friend" had arrived.  Ah, well - it makes me feel less like putting the scale through the bathroom window.

I missed my Bollywood today.  Jazzercise did the job and all, but I really needed a fix.  So, I turned up my radio to immaturely loud and belted "Piya", "Main Hoon Na", and "Ghum Shuda", and the always-puts-me-in-a-better-mood "Chammak Challo" just as loud as I possibly could on the ride home.  Then, because I just couldn't help it, I jumped out of the car and did a little "Tumse Milke Dil Ka Jo Haal" for the neighborhood.  Trust me when I tell you, I enjoyed it MUCH more than they.

Breakfast - "the" latte
Lunch - grilled chicken breast and celery
Dinner - grilled chicken breast, beef patty, blue cheese

Exercise - aforementioned Jazzercise and spontaneous Bollywood one person flash mob in the driveway 

An afterthought....not too many years ago I looked like this:

 

Now, that's a realistic goal, right?
