I made it to the gym today and so did
Amanda! She and I have made an agreement to be accountability partners in going to the gym. She has committed to three days a week at her local Curves fitness facility and I have committed to four days a week at the Wellness Center here in Macon.
I am also still caught up on grading papers at school. This is a huge accomplishment for me. Now if I can just finish my classroom door project and finish writing my lesson plans for this week, last week, and next week by Wednesday night, life will be good. I'm trying to only work on school stuff between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. That may sound like a long time, but given that last semester my typical work day was 6:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and then 7:00 p.m. until 10:30 p.m., this is a drastic improvement. Oh, and I also tended to put in 10-15 hours of work on the weekends, too. Last weekend, I might have put in 6 hours of work, total. Hopefully, I won't have any work to do this coming weekend except possibly grade a few papers from Friday.
