Progress - I have joined a fitness group for the month of March. I'm curious if I can come up with a new routine for eating healthier (I ate lots of junk food this week which I think contributed to why I feel lousy) and exercising more. Hopefully having accountability will help me stick with it for long enough that I stick with it!3. Learn rudimentary Spanish - year long

No progress.7. Watch These Movies:
Progress! I got the chance to see Patti Cake$ at the Athena Film Festival. I really loved it! None of the leads were white men (actually almost none of the characters were white dudes). The film both addressed negative stereotypes and diverse experience while ultimately being a really feel-good, funny film. I recommend!
