Marcy's New Year's resolution - to smile!
Although Marcy is quite a happy pup, she realizes that her face doesn't always show her inner joy. Her New Year's resolution is to smile more.

A new year is just around the corner, and one of my goals for 2018 is to UNPLUG more often so that I can get outside more, read more, exercise more and live more. Happy New Year!
I love to get flowers... This one brings me a whiff of spring

I was told that I need to post more photos of me smiling. I've not had time to go back and look through the old ones, but I thought I'd post one as requested. (I was doing yoga... forgive the nappy hair)
The yoga really relaxed me. It's a new years resolution.
Veja abaixo, se realmente é possÃvel, #crescer #definido. Ou seja, hipertrofia muscular, sem ganhos de gordura.
Muitas pessoas se perguntam, se é possÃvel crescer ou ganhar massa muscular e ficar definido ao mesmo tempo.
E isso, acontece principalmente se você tiver um biotipo, chamado de ectomorfo.
Que são um tipo de pessoas que geralmente, são magras, são altas e têm um metabolismo acelerado. Assim tem muita dificuldade de ganhar peso.
Por conta desse metabolismo acelerado, seu organismo consume muitas calorias, apenas para manter você vivo.
Desse modo, não sobra calorias nem para construir músculos, e nem para acumular gordura no seu corpo.
Crescer definido hipertrofia
Quando uma pessoa que tem biótipo ectomorfo, ganha músculos, é porque ela precisou consumir muito mais calorias do que ela estava acostumada.
Por conta de a pessoa ter que consumir muitas calorias muitas vezes, ela acaba ganhando um pouco de gordura, e principalmente na região da barriga.
E isso, para quem sempre foi muito magro e com baixÃssimo percentual de gordura no corpo, incomoda bastante.
Também você já deve ter visto muitas pessoas do mundo fitness, seja em vÃdeo ou até mesmo nas redes sociais falando, assim, ‘’ a eu to fazendo dieta para ganhar crescer’’.
E em outra ocasião e depois de algumas semanas, você ver essa mesma pessoa dizendo assim ‘’ a agora eu to fazendo dieta para secar’’.
"This year: Be yourself, BEyoutiful"
2011 you gave me more than I could have ever imagined, Alhamdulilah.
Thank you everyone who made this year what it was.
And 2012 I expect the same if not more, only this time I embrace you with an even stronger faith.
I've started to drink chamomile tea to help with my nerves. I guess that's my New Years resolution, to drink more healthy stuff and cut out all the diet drinks.
Right now I'm drinking diet coke and my box of chamomile is sitting un-opened on top of the microwave.
Damn.
May this year bring world peace
and a new Kind Leadership to us all
World Wide Health
Consideration of One another
and Food for every one of our Neighbors!

My New Year's resolution for 2013 was to write a complete second draft of a novel because that's something I've never done; I've written one novel first draft a year during National Novel Writing Month since 2006, but I never edited them.
Well, 2013 was a bit of a failure in that regard. I didn't write one second draft.
What I did was draft four novels in a series.
It's been a very strange year for me. 2012 was a horrible year, arguably the lowest point of my life. In 2013, through a combination of life changes (diet and exercise and cutting out the negative influences in my life) and gradual rediscovery of old beloved pastimes (sewing, photography, hiking, biking, writing) I've gotten back to the mental and physical health I had in college. That has been a beautifully productive thing, and I credit a lot of it to this series.
The reason I stuck with this story was because I made one big change in my writing habits: instead of just daydreaming and not getting anything but short stories down, I started a writing journal. Now, I can't even count the teachers and professors who told me to do this ages ago in creative writing classes. I never had the patience or the routine down to make this work. But now I have one thing: a 30 minute work break spent entirely alone. 5 days a week: just me and my journal. Some days I just freewrite about how I have no ideas, and then that gets boring so I think outside the box. Some days I get so excited I plot out entire novels and character arcs, and then I go home and work on my chapters. Instead of letting ideas slip from my brain, I anchored them on the page, and now here I am.
I completed book 1, Nomad, at the end of July. This was my first novel ever completed outside of NaNoWriMo. I finished book 2, Deadhouse, on November 1st of this year, and wrote two novels, Frostbite and Breakdown, for NaNo'13. This is what they look like (...on my unmade bed, sorry) all printed out for me to peruse and annotate on my aforementioned work break.
Because I already have my New Year's Resolution for 2014: I'm going to write second drafts for four novels. And I think I'm actually going to have something to celebrate December 31st, 2014.
