During the holidays I was lucky enough to get an iPhone. This is my second PDA style phone. I started out with a Treo 680.

My friend Nick and I researched for months about the Treo 680. We knew everything about it, when it was coming out and what color we wanted. I can still remember Nick calling from the store telling he got it and to run out to my store to get mine. We loved our Treo’s and we were phone buddies.

Getting the iPhone was great but Nick and I had said we would wait until the next one came out. It was a surprise when I got one as a gift during the holidays. I was excited about it but a little down too. I lost my phone buddy. I have to be honest, it was alway Nick who would come up with the great things to add to our phones and he always helped me when I needed help. I hated not being able to share this with him.

I had the iPhone for a few days and hadn’t activated it yet because I was nervous and going on this adventure alone. It wasn’t until Nick decided to go get one himself that I really got excited! Like dorks, we activated our phones together and he keeps sharing with me all these great tips and features to add to my phone. My phone buddy is back!

That is what friendship is all about. Being together through all the silly adventures, life’s ups and downs and sharing in each other’s accomplishments. It may just be a little thing that Nick and I share the same phone but it something we share TOGETHER. Friendship is all about sharing your lives together.

The new year is here and it is time for resolutions. We all make them and some we keep, some we break and most we just carry over to the next year.

 This year I am working on fitness. I know EVERYBODY has this one on their list so I joined the bandwagon. I am not trying to lose weight but just get myself doing physical activity more often than not. I am going to have to let go of the reality TV, get off the couch and MOVE!

So how do I make this successful? I know that I need to do. I know I want to do it. But, will I really do it? I do not know because Intervention and reruns of America’s Next Top Model will call me back to the couch. The only way to keep committed is to make it fun.

I sat down and made a list of ways to make fitness fun and here is what I came up with:

1. I loved yoga. It was great to release stress and I loved how I felt when I did it. Why not get back into yoga? I can get a DVD and do it at home. After awhile I could join a class to  fun with other people.

2. I love to swim. When it gets warmer, I can get back into the pool. Simple and easy without sweat. Sounds great to me.

3. Muddy Buddy. Wouldn’t it be fun to do the muddy buddy with a friend? I could sign up and then train for the event. I would only have to train to run a mile and bike a mile. How hard is that? I think I could do it and you get to get muddy!

4. Recruit a friend. It is best to share fitness with a friend. You can talk and laugh together while you do whatever activity you chose.

5. Wii. I know this is not always the best but wouldn’t a wii make you active by playing the games? See it is a good way to get a wii and to met the fitness goal, sort of.

6. Clean. I know this is weird but I do love to learn a house and I mean CLEAN. So if I would just pick a room a night, I would get a nice cardio work out for at least 20 to 40 minutes. Plus the house would be clean.

7. Dance. I use to dance all the time and this was one of the best ways I stayed fit. Maybe if I just go dancing at least once a month, I will add some great cardio into the mix.

So I am armed with a list of ways to make my resolution stick! I want to make sure it is fun because as long as it is fun I will stick to it. Coming up with a plan is the best way to make your resolution work. It helps you plan how to reach your goals and back up plans if things do not go the way you expected.

Good luck with your resolutions and I will keep you updated on mine.
