The Former Big Fat Prof

I have a hard time making myself exercise even when I've got hours of free time-- no excuse is a good excuse in my book. I am in awe of all of you who have made exercise a regular part of your weekly routine.

I'm hopping back on that treadmill tomorrow, by golly (haha). If I work out tomorrow, then I've still done 3 days this week, which is 3 more days in a week than I've normally done.

Summer classes started this week, and man is it intense to teach for 6 hours straight every day for a month. But it's marathon work and when the month is over, I will have a big chunk of money and the rest of the summer "free". Or at least unstructured in terms of the hours I have to do in order to get work done.

Here I am in my back to school outfit :) I took a pic because even though my two weeks of exercise has made me GAIN 2 lbs, my size 10 Anne Taylor shorts fit me perfectly. The top is a size L Banana Republic and the shrug is a junior's size L. I felt very sleek, I have to admit. I can just imagine what students who had me last fall and are just now seeing me again are thinking, but one thing about the South-- people are very polite about these kinds of things!



And here is a dorky, "look at me I think I'm hot shit" poolside pose. Just for fun.
