Today is the second day of a year that I decided to change my life. I know that I have many challenges ahead, but if I do not do it now, I will be frustrated for the rest of my life.
Finally, after so many tries, I quit smoking!! I still crave it, but every time I think about my mom, I know how much she wished I could quit. Mom died of pancreatic cancer and according to recent studies, smoking is one of the causes of the disease.
My second decision was to make sure that I am living a healthy life. To do so, I will need to lose weight. Today is not a good day to talk about dieting as I am going to meet some friends for lunch at Fogo de Chao, but it does not mean that it cannot be done!!!!
I will keep a log of everything I eat and the days that I exercise so it can be a motivation for others.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Rio - Where half of my heart is - Rio - Onde metade do meu coracao esta
What to say about Rio? In the news we hear about the violence, kidnappings, the slums, the poverty, the traffic, the pollution, but I wish that people could see Rio through my eyes once in a while. A city where I leave behind half of my being every time I have to come home. Friends, family, people that have been part of my entire life; places where I grew up, an unknown chemistry that only those that are in a similar situation can understand how I feel. Where do I belong?
O que dizer sobre o Rio? Nos jornais ouvimos sobre a violencia, sequestros, favelas, pobreza, o trafico, a poluicao, mas eu gostaria que as pessoas pudessem ver o Rio atraves de meus olhos, assim como o vejo. Uma cidade onde deixo parte do meu ser toda vez que tenho que voltar para casa. Amigos, familia, lugares onde cresci; uma quimica desconhecida que somente aqueles que estao na mesma situacao como eu podem sentir. Aonde pertenco?
