One of the other things on which I have not been focusing enough is GAL. I run at night and learn with a friend early in the AM, which have both saved me, but that is about it. I always have some excuse. I like to put the kids to bed at night. By the time they are all tucked in, it is pretty late or I am too tired. I also stay at work too late - discussed previously, and working on it - trying to take Vs suggestion. I can't shake this fear that I will be perceived as not being home enough. So I avoid doing things right after work.
I really want to set some GAL goals. It is a bit more challenging because restaurants are out (I am strictly kosher). I don't drink - very low tolerance for alcohol. Work takes up too much of my time. My friends are also family men and busy. I have signed up for meet-up, but I have not gotten the courage nor found the time to take advantage of it.
I feel like I have this same struggle over and over again and never advance.
