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 WWâs approach to weight loss.
This week we are in Zone 4: The Master Bedroom

Youâre never too late to get something done.

Good morning, thanks for getting us started this morning Carol. I did answer your question about changing my piano teacher. My teacher is very good but he tends to tell me too much about his personal life because he knows Iâm a counselor. I should have put a stop to it when it first started because he uses some of my piano time and I do feel frustrated so I decided to look for another teacher.
Monday possibilities: âpractice đč âdeclutter âwater plantsđ âgrocery run âexercise âread

True confessions: I got some things done yesterday but basically sat most the day. This is not how I thought retirement would be but I am finding myself being very lazy. Donât take me wrong, Iâm find just sitting but itâs probably not the best thing I should be doing.
Tuesday possibilities:
âdrive with DH âlaundry (started) âgrocery run âvirtual Bible study âphone calls, emails, and texts regarding different things I need to do âpractice đč

Well I didnât get any decluttering done yesterday because we decided to go for a long bike ride in the afternoon, because the weather and scenery are so great right now. We started the ride at a point about 40 miles away on the canal trail and rode east 19 miles to where we had parked the van. It was fun, but we started late and ended up riding in the dark at least half the ride! Came home to have a very late dinner.
Tuesday possibilities âgroup walk at a local cemetery (really a beautiful park!)â
âdeclutteringâ
emptied 2 boxes of kitchen supplies, tools, and misc junk. âpractice đžâ
ârelax in the backyard for awhileâ
âguitar classâ
âwind down early!â I did wind down, but started late
Be well! Carol
