A variety of threads were used.

Continue working out and making healthier food choices.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">2.) Succeed at school.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">3.) Spend more time with family and friends.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">4.) Make visible progress on Twilight Duel and Fractal White Tiger.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">5.)
