29 Things: Week 25

I do not think I have been super focused over the last week.  I think I spent a lot of my free time relaxing and being happy that spring might be here soon.

1. Work on my poetry (Poetry Journal) - year round

No progress.

2. Lose weight - year long

Progress - I have been feeling like I might be losing weight a bit, according to the scale I've lost 4 pounds (even after eating candy all weekend).  Not sure if that is really meaningful but I choose to take it as a step in the right direction.  I haven't really been able to get to gym just due to scheduling.  I should come up with some mini workouts to do at home.
