1. Work on my poetry (Poetry Journal) - year round
TINYPROGRESS - Switching my work to every two days has helped. Of course my brain wants to write poetry on the 'off' days rather than on the days I've chosen! I've had a few bouts of inspiration as well. I also want to work on finding a way to have someone else review my work and give me some advice for improving.2. Lose weight - year long
PROGRESS - I technically weighed 4 lbs less last time I checked. Also I went for a short run for the first time in a while, and I've been going to Zumba!
