Mastering the skill... Resolution 3

This particular resolution is in itself a challenge.  For the past year I have been reading, practicing, and reading some more on the subject of photography, trying desperately to move up from being an amateur into becoming a serious hobbyist.  Now, in this year 2009, I want to think I can move towards becoming a professional photographer, and for that, I need to step up my game.

I'm a pretty realistic woman and I know my limitations.  I know I need to be able to reproduce quality images each time I go out and shoot a subject.  I know there are certain technical skills I need to master, and I am already working on it.  So, with some effort from my part, I know I can do this.  I am currently working on a good and solid portfolio, and I am constantly searching for inspiration and ideas.  So, wish me luck and keep coming back for updates on this big project of mine.

Well, these are my three most important resolutions for the year.  I have others that I am currently working on.  Like, for example:

-Running a race (I have one coming up in February, so I'm already training)

-Wearing more skirts

-Overcoming the bad habit of procrastination (this is particularly annoying and I want to be done with it)

I guess I have work to do...

Detox mode... Resolution 2.

Eating habits have always been an issue for me.  I think I eat right but really, I don't.  I try, I really do, but I'm not consistent enough.  I do exercise, so at least that part is covered.  I've been running often enough to be able to run five miles straight, and that's my best record so far.  I also do yoga and swim every now and then.  Again, my problem is consistency so I think there's some space for improvement in this department.

My resolution number 2 is not so much about losing weight but more about quality.  Quality control regarding what kind of food I input into my body.  I want to establish a healthy pattern of eating more veggies and fruits and to follow an exercise routine.  So less sweets, less bread, and more high fiber and greens.

For the time being I started a detox of flour.  No bread, no pasta, no crackers.  At least for a month.  I had a baking spree the last couple of weeks that fed my most hated love handles.  So this detox will help me achieve a fresh start on my own personal quest for total well being.  

Resolutions:Countdown to 2009... Number 1.

Ok... here I go. This year I want to include behavioral adjustment resolutions. I want to improve my well beign by taking care of the things I neglect or take for granted the most.

So, my first goal this years is... to have more intimacy in my relationship.

For a long time now I've thought that our sexual pace was good.  You know what they say, at least three times a week right? Well, not really.  Nobody's keeping score.  I mean, we're not in a competition to win the "Most sexually active couple" award, I know that.  But I also know that couples really need this time for themselves.  The exploration of the bodies is a very basic necessity that synchs the minds of two different worlds.  The act itself is the essence, the basic instinct the drew us together in the first place and it is our responsibility to keep up with it.  Besides, sex is good, really good, so this resolution is not that bad after all ;-) 

This year will be our ten year anniversary.  We've done pretty well so far and it takes a lot of tweaking here and there from both of us to keep up with each other.  So this is my contribution to the relationship:  I choose to seduce my husband more often.  I want more sex and orgasms, and I want to have them with the man I love.
