Conversational Poturguese
I have a basic grasp of the grammar & reading/writing portuguese, the next logical step is start practicing conversations.
The goal is to spend 1 hour a week talking in Portuguese.
Update Post Brazil Trip - Portuguese significantly improved, able to have very basic conversations and order food/ask for directions.
Reduce Sugar Intake
Significantly reduced processed sugar intake. Slightly reduced regular sugar intake
