Weekly Flylady Thread 1st January 2018

Morning, all.

I've done my usual of my sleep patterns just getting sorted in the last week of term, only to have them go haywire the instant we break up. As a result, 3am came and went, as did 4am and 5am and, at 5.30am, I decided to stuff this for a game of soldiers and get back up.

Where I was bored. So, much against my better judgement (which was telling me to eat some food, drink tea and crawl back into my nice, warm bed), I got my stuff together and walked to the gym for the first time in forever. It was alright walking there in the dark, but it's turned into a right dull and desolate looking day. And I'm sure it's colder now than it was at 6.03am.

Had the Ladies' Gym Room to myself for an hour, then the pool between myself and one other person for an hour, the steam room and sauna to myself and only a couple of people came in as I was drying my now very fluffy hair.

Felt that being ill, then on meds, had affected me more than that, but I suppose I've been so busy at work in the period, I've not lost any strength in some muscles, increased in my legs and my heart rate just kept at a steady 145 max, as I wasn't about to overdo things.

Walked out via Messrs Waite & Rose, where I picked up some YS steak and a big pack of sushi, as it's superfresh on Tuesday mornings (I know when they get their delivery - late Monday night after the store closes).

Decluttered all the hideous face fuzz at the salon - first and only customer for a change - and then started walking the final 1/2 mile home.

Wow. That 1/2 mile was hard work - my little stumpy legs were wanting to just stop working.

It's the first time I've ever been at the gym at sparrowfart and the first time I've not eaten beforehand, I just had a small oat drink when I got up.

Fed splats, booted them out into the garden and put my swimming costume and towel in to rinse.


I've now had the sushi for breakfast, am about to inhale a large mug of strong tea, and, depending upon how my legs feel, I'll either continue with sorting out the last bits of the front room or, if they can still carry me - I'm going to bed.



I'll try and join in with the slinkiness, but I don't do scales. I'll stick to clothes fitting/not fitting and fitness/strength instead, as they are far more important to me than numbers, if that's alright.

*staggers in*

Happy New Year flyfriends :hello: :beer::j
who's idea was it to party last night, oh yes mine :cool:

I'm in if you'll have me, thanks to Natty and Valli for the threads and all you lovely flyers for your help and support xxxx

Seriously my scullery looks like a bomb hit it and smells like a stale brewery _pale_ I'm not even sure where to start. I'm sitting in the LR with a cuppa hoping that when I take my cup through it will all have magically disappeared and it will look as it did at the exact same time yesterday morning before anyone arrived.

As usual no New Year resolutions from me I only break them couple of days in :rotfl:

No putting it off any longer I'm going in......

As expected, the SW scales show that I have put on 5 lb this week :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I have changed my signature and resolve to update it weekly until I reach my new target.

WM x2 done or in, third load waiting.
Guest bed tidied.
Spare duvet put away.
Lunch planned.
A small amount of reading done - more needed.

GWS Dizzy - but please be kind to yourself and only do the minimum today: your body clearly needs rest. Sorry your friends' visit was a disappointment: sometimes people just grow apart, and we have to be thankful for what has been but then move on to what will be.

Mrs-mp, I echo the advice given by MrsChaos and Mumof2 that you should get yourself to a doctor asap - we don't want you falling downstairs again.

Being a bit dumb here, but what's a Fly-Marketeer?

Off to run some errands in town shortly.
