@TerriRichardson112 I really liked your first post and everything that you shared 🤩. Also good use of the color and the "spoiler" option. Awesome and colorful paper tracker and fun emoji tracker!! I agree with you about the personal responsibility for our health part. I'm still going to wear my mask when I'm in the stores etc because I saw too many people pulling masks down or wearing it below the nose way before any vaccine was on the horizon. I didn't wear it when I finally got to see my adult kids and the grandchild since the adults were fully vaccinated. These are truly unprecedented times. And so much to figure out. I really give kudos to all those who are still out there working. Getting older can be difficult sometimes, but any more those out there working are having challenges we never had back when I was younger and working.
@Mrs_Hoffer Great way to tie together your morning routine/ habits! Especially with the differing days per week at the office when you start going back to the office 👍. I like how your "just one thing" declutter plan is working for you. And that it can also include trashing it as well as putting back in its home and not just decluttering. Well done for finding something that works for you! I always find it interesting how we all accomplish similar things in differing ways!!
Wow!! walking on stilts! A thousand kudos to you!
Sounds like a pretty smart app if it can prioritize tasks according to time available to clean. That is hard enough for this human to do that successfully even after all these years 🤷♀️.
@SummerSkier Well, I'm certainly glad that I had already swallowed my bite of food when I read your closet post, I don't think I could have recovered otherwise from laughing/sputtering as well as @Mrs_Hoffer did 🤦♀️. At any rate very good insight regarding any unused clothes/shoes still in your closet.
That must be a big adjustment going back to the office again. I think you have a good plan concerning your habits and adjusting for the less time at home now.
@77tes Wow! That is a great idea of doing 10 daily push-ups for your July habit 💪!
I also like to listen to the Bible reading to me. I will listen sometime while doing mundane jobs or other things like watering the grass/ garden etc. Good for you progressing so well with decluttering the school files! You are almost finished with that!
@MadisonMolly2017 Look at all of those bright green check marks ✅👏!! I really like your paper tracker!! So creative. It will be very colorful by the end of the month!!
➡With the new updated name to the current declutter thread for 2021, would you consider renaming (again 😉) the old "Ever Onwards with Declutterfest 2021!!" thread back to 2020 since that was mostly when we used it.
(It is just below "This January “I Will...”. NEWCOMERS, begin here!" thread ( from 2021) .
Hugs 💗 to you for your finger hurting. I was wondering why the hand written notes. I only use the desktop for MFP. And had to stand up and lean in and turn my head sideways to read your notes. Very clever of you to post regardless of the circumstances. Very resourceful. Maybe I got some extra stretches in tonight. Me reading your posts ➡ 🤣 :laugh:
Maybe rename it back to 2020 since it was in use from the summer August 2020 (as the first summer declutter thread) and only continued on through early February 2021 when another new thread was started.
Renaming (again 😂) might help the confusion as to which declutter thread we are using from now on in 2021 and serve as a better record of progress back in 2020.
@clutterqueen you are very resourceful to accomplish your habit while eating pizza 🍕! Welcome to the group.

1. PAPER TIGER 🐯: Later on in the morning, most likely after breakfast, I WILL begin working on paper tiger for a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes.
2. STUFF 🧱: After the paper tiger session is finished I WILL then start to clean/tidy in a planned area with an eye out for what I want to declutter. There are several areas/ rooms that it is time to declutter in again or have become a "temporary" storage area 😲. This will be for a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes also.

@77tes - You have just reminded me that after I retired at the end of 2002 I held on to some school stuff which I really don't need. It's just taking up precious space. I must put that on my Declutter list for this month.
@Mrs_Hoffer - 🙋🏼 fellow fast eater here. Childhood habit to stop my elder brother stealing sausages off my plate after he had finished his dinner 😂
@texasgardnr - I use the spoilers as the photos take up so much space on the page.
@MadisonMolly2017 - I'm so behind you with the attitude of so many people. They're like the mad motorist who causes an accident and blythely goes on their way unaware of the carnage they have left in their wake.
👀 Restarted my journal on the first of July.
👃🏻 Have upgraded my 🤓 TINY HABITS 🤓
👅 Added a 😎 🎉 CELEBRATE 🎉 😎tier to my stacks
🚰 Drinking the water wasn't working for me. I did sooooo... many push-ups Thursday and Friday as I was constantly running to the bathroom 😂 (flush/wash--> push-ups) 😂 I think my hydration was just fine the way it was, so I adapted Habit 3 to '10 kickbacks'.
1) Get up ->!walk -> celebrate This gives me a good kickstart to the day
🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
2) flush/wash -> 5 wall push-ups -> celebrate I have started adding a few extra each time
🚽🚽
3) switch kettle on -> 10 kickbacks -> celebrate Starting this version today
☕️☕️
This is today's page of my journal. I am updating my habit tracker as I go along

I am still laughing at the hand written notes (thank you MADDIE!!!) and doing yoga to read them.
Also I was going to say just use voice to text but Siri is always full of surprises. I usually post on my PC because trying to reply on my phone to community posts is hard. I did get a new IPAD a couple months ago which is a bit easier but still I like the computer best.
Still waiting on a kitten report from @PKM0515 and an excited to hear from @nebslp to see if there are future plans to go to Paris.
What an wonderful AND frightening time with the pandemic starting to dwindle down, I am both excited AND a little frightened about the mask wearing changing at work. I am probably going to wear it in certain situations and not while at my desk alone. There is one woman who was SICK and out for 2 days and she came back on Thursday and still looked sick. She kept pulling her MASK down to talk to me and I was trying to stand as far away as possible and kept telling her to pull her mask up. In addition to COVID who wants to get sick with anything else now currently running thru the communities?
Tracker:
Jul1 BP check Declutter pass
Jul2 BP check Declutter check (and how sad I am to dispose of those shoes which are SO pretty and hurt so good.)
I did not sleep well on Thursday night and it was interesting to see how my BP was way UP from lack of sleep which led to a headache and lack of run as well. It's an interesting chain of events.... Today I feel much better and slept well (no meds either!) and will get a good run in so back to my normal. I tend to want to binge when I don't get my workouts in because my mind tells me I don't get to eat as much so if I eat to TDEE even though it is a slight surplus on rest days it keeps me from completely breaking down.
My desert willow and friend.

Adding: After I eat my breakfast, I will take meat/poultry/fish out of freezer to defrost for our dinner … unless we have enough cooked from prior day.
Reason: Hubby will do quick (relatively unhealthy (highly processed + high sodium) and I will eat bread/cheese/apple & lean protein trumps cheese.6 -
There's a LoT going on here! I can't respond to most posts but wish I had time to do so. There are so many good ideas that I will have to take a peek at them again (and take notes) when I get a chance. Thanks to those who "checked" on me when I went missing
I am getting ready to visit my daughter who moved to Corpus Christi, TX, recently. Leaving Monday EARLY
(the frown is for the early part, not the visit!) Wish I had time to stop and visit all of my TX pals, but we're going to try to make the 1100+miles in two days. Maybe going 750 the first day Yawn! We'll leave Monday and be gone until we get back No definite date yet. We'll see how long our daughter will put up with us.
I know any time things are out of routine for me, I forget my goals. So...
This July I WILL remain accountable by using Habit Bull every night before going to bed. I usually update throughout the day and do a final check at night. This is SOLID so I can't count that as a habit I need to work on. So...
This July after after pouring my first cup of coffee, I WILL take my pills. This is something that almost always falls by the wayside when I travel. So I'm going to be vigilant and work toward 90% on this goal. It was 80% last month so it's sorta solid.
I'm also going to work on using my FitBit mindfulness section every day. Even 5 minutes makes a difference. This morning in 5 minutes my heart rate had gone from 68-62. I don't expect to do this every day at a specific time, and I already missed the first 2 days in July, so I'll work it in when I can and be happy with a 50% on meditation. Last month it was 40%.
I'm excited to see what July will bring for lots of reasons. Can't wait to hear from everyone as the month rolls on.7 -
@SummerSkier , I love the Desert willow - there are a couple in my neighborhood, and l’ve been wondering what they are.
@MadisonMolly2017 I like the handwritten notes - gotta take care of your hands. Tree pose is when you stand on one foot with hands raised above your head.
https://youtu.be/wdln9qWYloU
@nebslp , I hope you have a wonderful trip and can keep those wonderful habits going.
@DebyS137 , welcome to the group - you are working on a bunch of the habits I’ve been working on. I love my gratitude habit!
@TerriRichardson112 love the “I have the power!” Lots of memories tied up with that line!
@texasgardnr - it’s great to hear that you are wrestling that paper tiger and winning! 😀
@clutterqueen I need to slow down my eating and my husband is also a slow eater. 🤣 I blame my kids because I had to goggle when I could while feeding babies and the habit stuck.4 -

Hi Everyone! I am smiling ear to ear reading your posts! Great goals for July, and I love the beautiful trackers! And I’m so happy to see so many new members join us! Yay!
Last weekend my daughter and future SIL were home for an extended family 90th birthday party and celebration of life for my FIL, who passed away 2 years ago. It was a great long weekend, but not much opportunity to chime in here. The nursing home where my parents live has lifted their COVID restrictions and we can now take them out whenever we want and wherever they’d like to go. Except that we have no wheelchair accessible options for Dad yet, and that’s been added to my short term to do list, along with securing a CNA. I know how fortunate I am to have my wonderful parents still with me, but the list of things I need to help them with is long and it gnaws at me everyday.
Like @SummerSkier and @Mrs_Hoffer I’m returning to work..this week. Fortunately, I’m able to still work a few days at home which is my preference. My husband and I took my mini elliptical to my office last night so it’s already in position and ready to go when I arrive Wednesday morning. @texasgardnr, did you get a mini elliptical? If so, it it helping you?
My July focus will be a simple balance exercise. Haven’t figured out the cue (“After I…) yet.5 -
Figured out the cue!
After I finish my treadmill walk, I’ll pull out my balance discs, select a song from my playlist, and try to dance while staying on the discs.
Voila!

July 3
July 3 perfect!
Back in the saddle! My gentle tightening up of food, exercise in late June and thinking about what I needed to improve 1st, 2nd, 3rd going forwards into July is working.
GRADUALLY I have:
Boosted my steps over 10K 🎉
Got all food out of sight (no bread on the counter, etc) to reduce food cues 🎉
Cut out raw almonds 🎉- FINALLY identifying what had caused my issues the past 4 months. ❤️❤️ Sometimes we have to be our own detectives. Along with I successfully reduced Fiber to recommendations if medical team.🎉
Set up a tracker for July to reinforce my intentions & lose the 1 kg back to my Goal Zone (which is what I decided to call my maintenance range!) 🎉
Figured out clever lol swaps or reductions …for my unhealthier or calorie laden items.
Swapped two 2% lattes to nonfat - saved 120 calories
Ate 1.5 chocolate croissant instead of 2.0, then 2 1/2’s and then one 1/2. For a savings of 510 calories.🎉
Added a 2nd serving fruit vegetable “Freggies”in & felt fine so added a third & ditto YAY🎉 it WAS the dastardly almonds.
Added Eat 15 oz Freggies to tracker.🎉
Baby steps work.
Great to see you @themedalist 🌷
Big hugs,

@77tes what an amazing photo of a powerful youngster~ It looks like she hasn't changed much either.
@nebslp please wave at Austin as you drive by to Corpus.. LOL. I feel so much closer to you already. And looks like you have a great start on July as well.
@MadisonMolly2017 I am so impressed with how you are roping in your issues and getting back to positive and strong again. The tracker and seeing you so engaged brings a smile to my face!
@themedalist it sounds like you are ready for back in the office time. I would be REALLY happy with 3 days a week but full time it is. Well except when I have "ahem" appointments and choose to work remotely.
I am still plugging away with my 2 habits for the month. So far 1005 on the BP check but not quite that much on the shoes altho that is a very easy one I keep forgetting to grab and old pair and put them in the donation sack in the garage. oooppps.

You all seem to be doing so well on all of your habits!
@themedalist your balance discs look pretty cool. I got a mini trampoline last Nov and need to get back to using it. It has really helped me with my balance. I used it almost everyday in the winter.
@TerriRichardson112 you are doing AMAZING at your new habits! Kudos!!
@MadisonMolly2017 your tracker page is starting to get pretty!! I can't wait to see it become more and more colorful as the month unfolds! And congrats on getting yourself back on track. I know you were beginning to "struggle" near the end of June.
@77tes What an adorable picture!
My habits didn't go very well while we were at my MIL's home. I don't do very well when my routine gets jacked up. Ugh. For starters, my sweet MIL doesn't have a coffee maker! Lol. I also didn't have my normal breakfast. But I decided right away that I wasn't going to stress out about it. We came home late this afternoon so I'm ready to start fresh tomorrow!
😃😃😃😃😃 After I ... get up and while I'm drinking my morning cup of coffee..... I will spend 10 mins on my bible reading and morning devotional. While at my MIL's home, my routine was a little out of whack, but I did still get in my bible reading time sometime during the day. I'm gonna call it a win!
😃😃😃❌😃 After I ... have breakfast, I will .... do 5-10 mins of yoga/stretching and then immediately upon finishing I will walk 500 steps down the driveway to the mailbox and back. On Sat I was able to get 10 mins of yoga in, but on the 4th I did not. Today (5th) I did get it in after I got home from our trip.7 -
Thanks all! Yes, I love the trackers, as not wanting to wreck the designs helps keep me on track!!
My big win is I am actually bringing down my daily calories!! Today was the best yet!
Also my trend weight is slowly coming down…
I am very pleased to have caught this quickly. I have my limit 157.3 lbs & I have my absolutely don’t have a monthly average weight over 160.
Reason: even though 160 is a healthy weight for me, one time I let it go up there & it seemed to take forever to whittle it back down. I promised myself I’d catch it sooner next time!! 💪🏻

6 July Day 2 of 5 day course on tinyhabits.com yesterday. My coach says tomorrow is often the crunch day, However, I have been implementing my 3 habits since 1st July, so not anticipating any problems.
👀 Weird science: Morning routine is now 1) -> 2) -> weigh in
👃🏻 🤓 TINY HABITS 🤓 process has rekindled my enthusiasm
👅 Maintenance has become so much more fun
Tracker is coming along nicely. I like to create art everyday so the tracker is gradually getting covered in tiny sketches. I'm also experimenting with digital art on my iPad.
Yesterday I got ahead of myself with the emojis 😂 I plan to do them in weeks. It will be another way of marking milestone
1) Get up -> walk -> celebrate This gives me a good kickstart to the day
🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
2) flush/wash -> 6 wall push-ups -> celebrate I have started adding a few extra each time

Recent iPad art experiment.
@DebS137 - Family time is so important. I hope you can find a way to enjoy without overindulging. I know I find that difficult. 😍 Your flying fairy.
@MadisonMolly2017 - Tracker is coming along nicely.
@77tes - 💖 The warrior princess.
@Mrs_Hoffer - These holidays are something we all have to deal with. We are having an 18th Birthday celebration for DYGS next Sunday. DGD has flew home yesterday for a week, so there will be other celebrations. Fortunately family no longer tempt me to overindulge, so I can keep it to a minimum.
Have a great day everyone 💕💖💕5 -
@TerriRichardson112
That’s the idea! More fun; more success!
Yes, we’ve been in some of the same on-line art groups!! It’s one of the main ways I use the time that I used to use eating out!!!
Have a fantastic week! And I’m so glad this is working for you!
This group & its tenets & methods really DO work - if folks just give them a try!

@77tes I was always a fast eater but I think my fast eating got turbo charged when my kids were very young. I was always having to hop up for one thing or another and just learned to wolf my food down before I got up from the table.
I’ve failed miserably trying to eat more slowly all day long. I think I need to back up and take baby steps. For now I’m going to just focus on eating more slowly any treats I enjoy each day. Once I’ve gotten control of that, I can add snacks and then gradually add meals when that’s consistent.
I love seeing everyone’s trackers, so beautiful! I’m not artistic at all but certainly enjoy the efforts of others!4 -

Sounds like a great plan @clutterqueen! I’d begin with whatever is easiest & then go from there!
One thing that helped me was realizing I’d I did t pay attention to a food when eating it, my mind didn’t register has having eaten it!
Left handed eating works well too!!

July 6
It’s going well. Averages are looking great. Tomorrow marks one month of my arm exercises. It’s definitely a habit now!
It will be nice when scale shifts downward, but I know always takes a bit of time (at least for me!)
