Check back with us in January

Check back with us in January for Amanda and I have crashed and burned with our fly duties. But never fear we will be rearin to go with NewYears goals and good intetions in January.

Do your daily fling

Fling boogie ladies!! Set a timer for 10-15  minutes, 

then run around with a garbage bag in one room

and start chuckin' stuff. Don't think too much about

it. When you're done, take your bag to the donation

box (DI) or the trash. This is one of the things on our

daily routine. Try to finish your routine but  really 

put some emphasis on this one. Good luck! I think I'm 

gonna work in my overflowing laundry room.

Now get out and fling girls!

A week long project

I know it seems like a cop out, but I still need 

practice with my routine. So that's what we're going

to do. However I'm still planning on posting everyday

so keep checking back. If you havn't completed your 

morning routine don't fret over it. Just plan 30

minutes before you go to bed tonight to do your evening

routine. You can pick up the morning one tommorrow.

Ultimately, this whole process should help us to be 

more organized, less stressed, and happy. It shouldn't

be an all consuming thing. All we're doing is building

good habits. If you don't do it perfect that's okay. 

Baby steps ladies.

Task 19

Our task today is to drink 60 oz of water throughout the day. Easy enough right.

Task 18

Our task of the day is 20 minutes of excercise. Mostly because my baby will be 8 months on Tuesday and I havn't done anything about getting in shape yet. So I thought mabey yall would like to get in shape with me. Today I will probebly do crunches and pilates. But feel free to substitute in any excercise you like.

Weigh in....but not really

I want us all to "weigh in" so to speak. Tell us all

how you're doing (routine wise) and comment on 

how this whole thing is working out for you. As for 

myself, when put into action this Fly Lady stuff is

great! I read the book A couple of years ago for a

book club I'm involved with. I followed the "program"

for about a month and I'll tell you my house was in

awesome shape. Then I found out I was pregnant and

I fell apart....so did my house. For some reason I've had

a harder time getting into it this time. I almost feel like 

I'm some rebellious teenager again. I drag my feet to do 

(or not do) the things in my so called routine, however 

the last couple of days have been good. Not perfect but 

better. And I have to say that the routine is key in the

whole affair. Keep going, moving, and smiling. You're

doing great!!

Nice little quote

Again, we're practicing our routines. Try to fine tune them

to your needs. I was looking for some Fly Lady quotes and

found this little number. I thought that I would share it 'cause

it made me feel all warm and fuzzy and maybe you could

use some fuzz too.

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. 

I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, 

believe in them, and try to follow them." -Louisa May Alcott

I love this quote. Good ol' Louisa! I think it's really important 

to have high aspirations. I think it's more important to 

understand that it's ok to not be perfect.  Don't beat yourself 

up! Do what you can and then call it great!
