Feb Review/March Goals

Friends.... February was not kind to me at all. Honestly, I had a pretty terrible month, both personally and cosplay-wise. But I'm not going to let it get me down, and I'm going to make March count! So let's review. I didn't develop an exercise plan and I didn't exercise. I basically didn't stick to…
