WELCOME! We are followers of FLYLADY principles for decluttering our homes, as well as WEIGHT WATCHER guidelines for healthy lifestyle choices. We are working on consistent, daily steps to achieve our goals.
Food, activity, sleep, and mindset. These are the four pillars of WW’s approach to weight loss.
We are in Zone 4: The Master Bedroom

Good Morning and Happy Monday! Yes, I also enjoy not dreading Mondays now that I'm retired. Although, I never did much pre-prepping of meals when I was working. In recent years (after being on WW) I did get in the habit of having oatmeal & fruit at home almost every day for breakfast, which I still do now. I kept a bunch of frozen low-point entrees and a big bag of frozen broccoli in the freezer at work to bulk up the tiny portions of veggies in those frozen meals. And I scheduled my lunch break later than most of the other folks, so that I wasn't competing for the microwave. I think it was easier for me because I didn't have a very long commute...office was just over a mile and a half from home. In a pinch I could just go home for lunch or get a takeout salad from a nearby shop. Before WW my eating habits were dreadful, lots of McD meals and big lunch specials at other places. Lots of fried foods and bread.
Monday possibilities:
--zoom exerciseâś… audio was not working on their end! I also did some indoor walking, as it was rainy all afternoon.
--grocery runâś…
--laundryâś…
--water indoor plantsâś… outdoor plants are looking a little waterlogged
--decluttering
--practice

Happy Tuesday! Carol, obviously what you did to make your meals work while you were working paid off. I was fortunate to have a microwave and fridge in our office (it belonged to my officemate and when she retired she was kind enough to leave it). Everything went well yesterday, however, DH is having a lot of probs. with his nose from the oxygen. We may just hang out here today. I was happy to come home and while he napped I got a training done for my CEUs.
Tuesday possibilities:
—make sourdough bagels (dough rose over night)🧚‍♂️ (came out flat)
—practice🧚‍♂️
—make birthday card
—do filing on desk🧚‍♂️
—hang up clothes in dryer
—declutter🧚‍♂️ (I can see my desk again)

Good morning. I’m getting lots of decluttering and organizing done in my craft room. It feels good. Exterminator never came. He was suppose to be here between 3-5 and called after 5 and said he would be here about 7:15 which I told him was too late so I rescheduled. He wasn’t happy because he wanted to get it over with and I wasn’t happy because he should have called earlier since we hung around waiting for him.
Thursday possibilities:
—DH PT appt.🧚‍♂️
