Billy!!! So, when will you be getting a dog, then?

I like to make resolutions I know I won't break...I resolve to continue with my shamelessly flirtatious ways, continue to love my son, do the best I can with my kiddles, and spend time with my 'someone'.

But, if while doing these things, I can manage to eat and drink less, and move more, I don't think it will hurt.

Love to you and the family!!!

It's not hopeless Billy, if you really do want to get healthier. My resolutions last year were to quit smoking, eat healthier and exercise more. I did quit smoking and I am eating healthier and exercising more, although not as much as I could be. So my New Year's resolution this year is to continue doing what I'm doing and maybe I'll progress a bit further this year. The trick is to not ask too much of yourself. If you decide you are going to quit smoking, eat only healthy foods and exercise every single day, it's just not going to happen. One step at a time. maybe cut your smoking in half. Once you get used to that, cut it in half again. And make rules, like no smoking indoors and no smoking in the car (or wherever it is you usually smoke). Don't plan on quitting all at once, do a little at a time.

Anyway, that's what worked for me. I cut down and cut down until I was only smoking one cigarette a day, and then it wasn't so hard just to cut that out. Also, if you do find time to fit in some exercise, that helps with quitting smoking too. Or it did with me because I didn't like not being able to catch my breath. Also, I took a fun class (belly dancing) so that made me want to exercise because I enjoyed it. The treadmill just doesn't do anything for me. I enjoy yoga too, it's very peaceful.

My other New Year's resolutions are to find more time for myself (I spend most of my spare time doing things for my kids and boyfriend) and strangely contrarily, to appreciate my kids and my boyfriend more. Actually, come to think of it, I think those two things probably go hand in hand.

LOL...I have a mental image of Billy taking belly dancing classes...

I try to not make New Year's resolutions because I NEVER keep them and then it just makes me feel guilty. Instead I try to have an "end of the year goal" (Maybe I'm fooling myself? lol) "By the END of 2005, I will..." That way, in my true fashion, I have 11 months to procrastinate and then 1 month to run around and panic. Usually by then I'm so into panic mode I just get it done. Works for me...

;-)

I still need to decide what I'm going to spend 2005 procrastinating about...

LOL!! Well, no, I wasn't suggesting tht Billy take belly dancing classes. But you know, something else, like... I dunno... ballet or something... :oP

greetings Billy and fellow Doheny monkeys

Family crisis, B? I hope it wasn't anything really serious and that everyone's ok...

Ah, new years resolutions... It's hard to believe that 2004 is just about over. What a year! It has definitely been a great one for me. I moved to LA where I've always wanted to live and I finally have my own place and a steady job with good benefits. Not only that, but I went to a variety of fantastic concerts and met so many people who are fans of the same bands as I am. I feel truly blessed and grateful for everything.
Next year I'm going to make it a point to do more charity work, adopt a cat or 2, and start exercising again. Can't wait for all the new music currently being created and recorded to come out (especially from bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Panic Channel, and Camp Freddy I hear!) My final resolution is to practice my bass as much as I can and get to where I am pretty good and can actually play something for real.
This is a longshot and maybe even a bit naive, but for the world in general I wish people that are fighting to come to their senses and learn to live together in peace, and for corrupt politicians to realize the error of their ways.

Hmm...I don't usually do New Year's Resolutions because most of my goal's end up getting accomplished one way or another and I need to be in the right mood and frame of mind to challenge myself. BUT--I do hope to kick some grad school ass (if I get in). I do also need to start eating like a normal person again. This holiday season has been rough with tempting food everywhere I look...and next week I am going to Florida where there seems to be an abundance of good food everywhere. I would also eventually like to move to a warmer climate. This ice and snow just isn't cutting it for me. I almost skidded a few times because of ice. I guess that's about it.

hey all...

resolutions? hmmm...

I'm afraid mine is the all encompassing "get more organised" deal.

And make more time for making music, naturally!

I'm back from Reading. Still waiting for the house to warm up, sitting here wrapped in blankets, hat and jacket. Luckily my dog has decided to dose off lying on my feet, so they're warm.

I hope everyone had a good xmas. Mine was simple: eating, lounging around, xmas pressies, yes socks were included, and tv. I fell asleep through the soaps. ;)

Love Lisa xxxx

No resolutions here, just livin' every day to its fullest.
