New Year & My Decision

Happy Upcoming New Year Everyone! <3

Ok... well we used to have a lot of fireworks on New Years back in Ukraine...

The New Year is kind of like Christmas for Russians/ Ukrainians  That's the day when Santa Claus comes to visit us and when we have big family dinners. I finished of 2012 by going ice skating with my friends and then spending 3 hours at Second Cup reminiscing the year.

Now with regards to my decision... My blog is a year old now, it was kind of a New Year's Resolution and it's been a pleasant experience. So after revealing my blog to my family I had a chat with them. I've decided to take it more seriously and make it part of one of my university courses. We have this one course where we can do anything we want as long as it help the community. Hence, I think my blog would be appropriate.

So far I've been thinking of doing theme days. At the moment my ideas include:

Monday Miles
Pretty self explanatory as it will talk about my upcoming half-marathon and hopefully marathon training.

Tone it up Tuesdays
I'm not going to lie about the fact that I've lost a lot of tone (other than my legs) since I've stopped regular swimming. So my New Year's resolution has been planks, strength workouts, and hot yoga (all of which I've been doing for the last 2 weeks already) and I will discuss those.

Thoughtful Thursday
This will be more of a Body, Mind, Spirit kind of posts and my random thoughts on life.

Foodie Fridays
New recipes that I've developed or cool things I've tried over the week

Sciency Saturdays
Self explanatory- talking about cool scientific facts, theories, and recent discoveries.

What do you guys think about this? Are there any topics you'd like me to focus on or address?

    1. :) I'm really excited for my last semester because it's primarily a project based one so I can actually learn about things I'm interested in. To be honest I have learned so much from having this blog. Plus for things like Science Saturdays I would actually have to do research and read articles ^^
