Ok so I figured out that starting FLYlady was number my lucky number 13.

So far so good? I guess? I wasn't home all day Saturday so I didn't do it that day which means I am on day 3.

Day one (which is my number 14....yea I am counting every day. hahah maybe it's cheating, but it's my blog, so whatever lol) I had to shine my sink. It took like 3 hours total (had to let each sink soak for an hour, separately so that itself took 2 hours, then there was the other stuff) but at the end I was pretty pleased. The idea is that if your sink is shiny you don't start your day off on a bad note. So I did it, even though I was a bit skeptical I could see how it could be a good thing.

The second day, my number 15 (lol) I wasn't so sure about. My "challenge" was to get dressed, basically, to clean. To fix my hair and face (which I do nothing to, really) and to put my shoes on and clean. I guess I can see how this is helpful too. I feel more motivated and ready to do more when I am dressed in regular clothes and it's easy to stay in your p.js all day when you don't have anywhere to go, which happens often, but I figured that out years ago, and honestly that challenge didn't get any of my house clean lol. But I brushed it off and moved on.

Now today, day 3, seems very very silly, and it's hard for me to not give up and say nevermind and go back to doing it my way, which wasn't working. Day 3 was to......do what we have already done. Seriously. Keep my sink shiny and get dressed.

It's all about forming habits, and the website does call it "baby steps" but I guess I was expecting a little more. I'm sticking it out because at the end of the day I guess it does make a difference. I have a shiny sink and I feel better about myself because I am not still in my pajamas lol, and the more I do it the more habit forming it will be...blah blah. I'm trying...lol
