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 5: The Living Room/Family Room and

You’re never too late to get something done.

Happy Monday, July 29. It's one of those weeks that spans two months and two Flylady zones, so plenty of areas to choose from!
Although I didn't do any of my own decluttering yesterday, we helped out friends who are like family. Their son just bought a house and he has been prepping the "new" house and packing up the old apartment. Some friends have helped, and his family has helped him with painting etc. and some moving. But, it's the end of the month now, and his family was away this weekend. And of course, several friends who promised to help him were not available, so yesterday evening we went with our van and helped him with some moving. Most of the heavy furniture was already done, but there were lots of "things" that had to be transported, and not enough boxes to hold them all. But we got a lot done. I think he will have one more load of "stuff", i.e. tools, etc. and then he gets to vacuum the whole place and have the building owners come for his walk-through so he gets his security deposit back. He lived in that apt. for 5 years, and we were all amazed at how much "stuff" he accumulated in that short time. Anyway, we slept very well after all that work!
Monday possibilities:
--laundry
--groceries
--decluttering
--walk or workout
--practice
--tackle some email clutter
--wind down early

Good morning, totally forgot to post yesterday. Carol, when we moved into our house 21 years ago, we did have enough furniture to furnish the place and many empty shelves and closets. Now we can’t find space to put things. It’s amazing how quickly it fills up.
Tuesday possibilities:
—finish July’s budget
—start Aug budget
—practice
—pick up RX
—dental cleaning
—declutter craft paper (I own so much)

Good Friday Morning! Yesterday was consumed mostly by lots of grocery shopping, also visited the farm stand and bought a few annuals to brighten up the yard. Washed sheets, practiced a little, monthly budgeting, a little yard work late afternoon, trimming forsythia which were trying to encroach the driveway. I did not get out for a walk (too tired) but it was really muggy, about 85°.
Friday possibilities:
--declutter
--more laundry
--practice
--walk
--wind down
