Day 175 - Happy Birthday

Today, I'm 43 years old, and I don't weigh 300 pounds.

Or 282.

Or 250.

Today, I weigh 233 pounds. Instead of a bowl of pasta and 2 slices of cake, I celebrated my birthday with an hour of Jazzercise, including 20 minutes of floor work. On the FLOOR.

And that Shahrukh guy? He's seen me through countless hours of workouts and taught me, and my kids, our first words in Hindi. Through him I found a world of like minds and a reason to dance.

So, this is my story. Good or bad, I'll keep telling it, even if no one hears me. I want to be 44 and under 200 pounds. I'm here because I wanna.

Breakfast - a latte
Lunch - spicy grilled chicken
Dinner - hibachi scallops and steak with bean sprouts and zucchini (no rice) - no birthday cake for me, and I'm good with that.

Exercise - Jazzercise for an hour, plus some bonus dancing, just out of sheer joy.
