Anybody got an extra 24 hours for their day they've got laying around? I sure could use them.
This point in the semester is always rough, because there's SO MUCH TO DO, and everyone starts getting SO TIRED, so it's really hard to keep everyone motivated in class when I don't even want to be working anymore.
Add to that my part-time foster coordinator gig and my planning & hiring meetings for my summer camp director gig, and I literally haven't had time to do *anything.*
But priorities are important. And so, even in the busiest season of the year, here are my small victories:
1. I've painted my new bulletin board. (Yes, even finding an hour to paint is a victory.)
2. I'm sticking to my half-marathon AND 10k training schedules. More or less. But even "less" counts!
3. I've been strength training three days a week. I only get about 20 minutes of training, and I only get to do one round of workouts, BUT. I'm getting it done, which is the important part.
4. I haven't gained any weight this last month, and I've actually been able to lose about a pound. Even with stress eating! Even with sleep deprivation! Even with meetings!
5. Other than being horrifically behind on grading, I've been staying on top of work, and I'm getting more and more efficient at my FOTA fostering gig (I think, anyway).
6. I'm able to pay my credit card down now.
7. I've been sticking to my "No booze" practice for the last three weeks, and I feel so much better.
8. I'm still making time to take care of myself, like going to church and taking a few minutes in the morning to stretch. And praying! And stretching! Again, taking little cuts of time is better than taking no time at all.
So yeah, that's about it--small victories, for sure, but victories none-the-less. I can't wait for Spring Break next week.
Happy running.
