New Year thoughts

En: Here we go, we've entered the new year, maybe back home the holiday spirit is still in, considering that our people celebrate the Christmas on the 7th of January, but here in Texas it's gone, like December was never before January. Work started, I started actively my diet on the 3rd.
Naturally i couldn't start it on the 1st as we were hangover and there was still plenty of food from the NYE's dinner. No alarm, I am not going to starve, I've just cut the sugar out for 2 weeks, that means no bred, nor rice, no potatoes, pasta or anything else that contains carbohydrates. It's basically a lot of vegetables and fish. I consider it a detox process as well. Just in time to fit in a smaller size for the semi annual sales. Even though I am not in the mood for shopping, as banal it may sound. Maybe because the Christmas present chase got me exhausted, I don't want to go again through crowded stores and fitting rooms. This beginning of year I want something less ephemeral that the commercial trends. So I created a list, that reflects some long terms resolutions and habits that I will try to inherit this year.

Ro: Iata ca am intrat in noul an, poate in MD mai persista spiritul sarbatorilor, dar la noi aici in Texas a disparut de parca nici nu a fost Decembrie inainte de Ianuarie. S-a inceput munca, m-am pus activ pe dieta din data de 3, de pe 1 natural nu s-a primit ca toti eram mahmuri si frigiderele inca pline bocna de bunataturi care nu s-au consumat la cina de revelion. Nu va alarmati, nu m-am pus infometare ci pur si simplu am scos zaharul din alimentatie, asta inseamna fara paine, orez, cartofi si tot ce contine glucide. Am trecut la legume sanatoase si peste, e intr-un oarecare fel si o detoxificare. In timp ca sa reusesc la reducerile semianuale sa intru intr-o masura mai mica. Cu toate ca sincersa sa fiu cat de banal nu ar suna  nu am chef de shopping, probabil cumparaturile de Craciun m-au epuizat si nu am chef din nou de aglomeratia magazinelor si a cabinelor de proba. Asa se face ca pentru acest inceput de an vreau ceva mai putin efemer ca tendintele comerciale, si mi-am creat o lista de care o sa incerc sa ma tin cu dintii:

En: Going to the gym at least 3 times a week. I admit it's a torture for me, and I need massive morale training every time before I put my tennis shoes on.

Ro: Sa merg la sala regulat de 3 ori pe saptamana. Admit e o tortura pentru mine, am nevoie de o pregatire morala masiva de fiecare data inainte de a pune pe mine tenisii. 

En: Wake up every morning 30 minutes earlier and have breakfast. A sacred ritual that seems to miss from my daily schedule. Last year I realized on my own that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Not that I didn't know it before, my parents used to tell me that but sleeping always seemed to convince me over eating in the morning. But I realized that breakfast is a great metabolism booster, making it work better for the rest of the day.

Ro: Sa ma trezesc in fiecare zi cu jumatate de ora mai devreme, ca sa reusesc sa iau dejunul. Un ritual sfant care imi lipseste din cultura alimentarii. Am realizat anul trecut ca e cea mai importanta masa a zilei, nu ca nu as fi auzit asta anterior sau nu mi-au spus parintii, dar somnul mereu pare sa fie mai convingator. Insa am realizat personal ca masa de dimineata accelereaza metabolismul pe parcursul intregii zile.

En: To read more outside, recently tried this childhood experience in the park near my house and I thought I had the most beautiful Sunday in a while. To show I am determined to do it right away I  ordered online today 3 books: 'The last days of the Romanovs - tragedy at Ekaterinburg', 'Anna Karenina' because I didn't have the chance to do it earlier in my life, and the last volume of the Millennium trilogy 'The girl who kicked the hornet's nest'

Ro: Sa citesc mai mult in aer liber, am incercat recent experienta din copilarie, pe iarba in parcul de langa casa si am avut duminica perfecta in mult timp. Chiar azi mi-am comandat 3 carti si astept cu nerabdare sa vina. Daca sunteti curioase am procurat 'Ekaterinburg - Ultimilele zile ale Romanovilor', 'Anana Karenina' care cu mare rusine inca nu am reusit sa o citesc pana acum, si ultimul volum din trilogia 'Millenium - 'Fata care a distrus cuibul de viespi'.

En: And the least but not the last from today's list, I wish I planted some flowers in pots at my balcony, what do you thing would peonies grow in Texas?

Ro: Si la urma dar nu si ultima, sa imi pun ghiveciuri cu flori la balcon, cum credeti bujorii ar creste :)?

En: These are four wishes out of a long list, which I'll describe or brag about accomplishing them later, maybe with pics as proofs :) It seems I am not giving up to blogging yet, it's just I am becoming older (and here an histerical laugh in the background :D) Anyway Happy New Year once again, may all your old and new wishes came true!
P.S: Did you like the postcard Lalo made out of a photo from the last shooting?

Ro: Astea sunt doar patru dorinte rupte dintr-o lista lunga, cu mai multe vin pe parcurs, poate cu poze ca dovada, asa cum am facut si cu lucrurile bune care mi s-au intimplat anul trecut. Se pare ca inca nu renunt la blogging, pur si simplu imbatrinesc (si aici un ras isteric in hohote :D). In fine inca o data la multi ani, fie ca toate dorintele si vechi si noi sa vi se indeplineasca in urmatoarele 365 de zile! 

P.S: V-a placut felicitarea pe care a facut-o Lalo dintr-o poza de la ultimul shooting?!
