Some progress is better than no progress. What's your milestone? (part 5)

Welcome to the fifth installment of the Progress thread. More than a year old now, this thread has garnered a total of 1690 responses spread over four installments and is still going strong. From time to time we restart because a long thread is slow to load.

On Sunday of each week (if not oftener), some of us gather to announce our current goals, report progress toward our milestones, cheer each other on, and commiserate over setbacks. Newcomers are welcome.

See Part 4 for recent activity.
