Birthdays
Friday, March 30th 2007
Well, today's my birthday! I'm happy to say that I'm 39.

Ok, yesterday I talked about getting my fiber up to 35 grams per day. I sorely neglected to mention the fact that I should really do this slowly. I'll compare it to not exercising at all and then deciding that today I'm going to run a marathon... not a good plan.
