I got some bathroom scales yesterday. I tried to get a good set, since I understand that the cheap ones can be sort of flaky with accuracy. Anyway, this morning before I stepped into the shower, I weighted 129.0 lbs. After I got dressed and had breakfast, I weighted 133.5. My goal is to put on muscle mass while decreasing (or keeping stable) my body fat. Of course, my primary goal is to increase my cardio so when I return to BJJ I won't get short of breath, but yesterday after my cardio workout, I felt so good I did some dumbbell presses and worked the rowing machine.

Last Thursday I had meetings all day long. In the morning, I had some sort of meeting about insurance for faculty members. That afternoon, we had a regular faculty meeting. A couple of hours later, we had our preplanning session -- which normally takes place before the semester's classes begin, but our dean was oversees at the time, so we put it off a couple of weeks.

We spent two hours arguing over which day to begin the semester next year. Really, does it make that much difference? Maybe it will mean more to me after I've been hear a few years. I hope not.
