May 8. Strength training, abs, done this morning before work along with 11 minutes of cardio. I stayed at the office for lunch and had a telephone call with our daughter. We usually get together on Sundays but she had Covid last week. I will finish the cardio later; for sure I can fit in another 9 minutes regardless of what the night brings.3

@texasgardnr it is great to see you back in the group. I was just thinking of you yesterday when I was admiring my roses. I always appreciated your gardening advice. I’m sorry you are dealing with the after effects of COVID. Be kind to yourself. I like your one item plan - that’s smart.
@Jana_2020 - I’ve been doing Flylady for several years, but while I was rehabbing from a broken ankle, my house got a little out of hand, so I thought a reset is in order. I’m also in a Flylady book club, and since I’m leading the discussion for a chapter, I’m supposed to practice what I discuss. Good for you sticking to your guns about your health practices.
@donna25trinity , I gave up caffeinated coffee, but then I went back to grad school. 😂 Having the flu is one way to break yourself of the habit/addiction.6 -

May 9: found an awesome video set on YouTube for learning how to do strength training and it's for 25 days. It's the same person that I started out with but I think I was doing one for seniors lol. It wasn't bad but I can bring it up a notch and this will fit the bill. For today's Day 1 session, she even had a plank at the end which I've always heard ppl do but never really got around to trying it myself. I'm really excited for this 25 day program; I feel like it's a good fit for me: not too easy, not too strenous, challenging yet doable!4

May 10: switching the routine to getting the strenght trainig done in the morning before work. Seems to be working for me.4

May 11: Got it done again before work!3

Oh I am so late my May is slipping by to quickly. I am working hard on my time for a 5K walk in June I decided to give it a try it’s definitely out of my comfort zone but I am excited to try dh is doing it with me as well.
So far still maintaining my set habits.5 -
May 12: Strenfth Training done again before work. I'm really enjoying this new routine (to my surprise).4

@themedalist & @MadisonMolly2017, Thanks for starting us off again. I really enjoyed looking at the May Wishes poster from Quitting the Sitting, and @77tes for sharing the lovely May Day poem by Sara Teasdale. Your opening posts made it feel like May is finally here! Yes the year is going by, but for me May seems like a breath of fresh air! Like Spring and new beginnings might actually be here soon. We finally got our lost "April Showers" ☔🌂 (and a thunder storm or two), and so some of the flower garden is finally bursting into bloom.
@themedalist, your goal to focus on daily stress reduction is a good reminder for many of us I would guess.
@TerriRichardson112, I hope that you are recovering from your recent operation more and more, as time goes by. Thank you for your kind remark. It helps not feeling so alone in this, as I know many who, when they were no longer sick from Covid, there was no lingering leftover symptoms. I also normally bounce back physically also.
@77tes, awww, thank you very much 💐 for kind words. I'm glad that you are able to get back to using FlyLady! A FlyLady reset is an excellent idea after recovering from the fractured ankle!
A FlyLady Book Club!!! What a concept, as well as being great for some built in accountability as well :laugh:. It's so cute seeing your 🚼 baby steps adding up!!
@Jana_2020, good idea to change your routine to getting your strength workout done before work! Then you don't have to face it after a day of working 👍.
@snowshoe072, way to go working on your time for the 5K walk coming up! That should be fun!!
@donna25trinity you are so focused with your many habits that you have been doing!! Well done!
For my habit during May I will get into the daily habit of picking (only) one particular thing that must get done (or started). I will be choosing it for the next day. That way I can pick something, for example, that I wasn't able to do the day before for whatever reason, or perhaps something with a deadline coming up....this can take the stress off of today and by tomorrow it will be easier because having it planned the day, or evening, before makes it easier to do it when tomorrow finally rolls around. (I started this on the 6th)

Wow that’s a big job, @snowshoe072
I am in awe of your fitness - very encouraging! 💕3 -
Successfully navigated a 5-day trip away. Two days later, I Now weigh less than when I left. Figured out I should be drinking 9.5 cups of water not 8. Cut out 2nd cup decaf & now am back up to 75 (my weight in kilograms) ounces per day or more. ~9.5 cups [I use two 16 oz water bottles & refill twice.
Took my measurements today. No really big changes but I do feel leaner in my middle.
Things I learned:
I really do best with SET meal times & an earlier dinner.
9:30-10:30AM breakfast PILLS
1:30-2:30 lunch
5:30-6:30 PM window - (might move this later as my walks will be later as days heat up)
My mantra:
I’m 67; I don’t need snacks 🤣😂❤️

@MadisonMolly2017 - kudos for not gaining on your trip and in fact losing! 🙌 I’m not sure I’m crazy about your mantra. I’m 67 and I love my snacks!
For my primary May habit, I’m going to do the Baby Steps from the Flylady housekeeping system. I’ll still keep doing my PT, staying within my calorie goal, and practicing yoga.
But I’m also taking on some deferred maintenance on my house. 🚼stands for baby step complete.May 1 - 🚼 shine sink___
May 2 - 🚼 dress to shoes first thing - ugh! This one’s hard
May 3 - 🚼review the system
May 4 - 🚼 post post-it note reminders
May 5 - 🚼 recognize negative voices and counteract them with positive thoughts.
May 6 - 🚼 clean a “hot spot” I cleared a table buried under paperwork
May 7 - 🚼 put out clothes for tomorrow.
May 8 - 🚼 start Control Journal - since I already have one, I revisited mine and thought of ways to update it.
May 9 - 🚼 5 minute room rescue (Declutter)
May 10 - 🚼15 minute declutter - started on fabric stash.
May 11 - 🚼 write down inspirational phrases. My favorites: Every damn day…just do it. Any job worth doing is worth doing wrong. Perfect is the enemy of done.
May 12 - 🚼 declutter email
May 13 - 🚼 complete a cleaning mission - I wiped down most of the upper kitchen cabinets
I’m still rocking my solid habits of staying under my calorie goal, doing my PT homework, and daily yoga (I did miss a day after dancing).
Also yay because the scale is finally moving the right direction.3 -

🥰 the progress everyone’s making. It’s inspiring.3 -
May 14 - 🚼 I wasn’t going to do anything cleaning wise on Sunday, especially Mother’s Day. Fortunately, the step today was to start a calendar - I’ve learning to use my online calendar especially with a bazillion medical appointments, so today I explored it a bit. I found the daily and weekly views (duh 🙄 - how did I miss these). I had a lovely Mother’s Day morning, my dear daughters treated me to French pastry and watching their gift - a DVD of Mrs. Harris goes to Paris. Bonus points- With a little if juggling of my menu, I managed to stay within my calorie goal!3
