Brand New Day

Hi Ladies, old and new! I loved our February Challenge so much and I cannot understand why I fell off so badly once it ended. I still kept up a few things but I'm definitely not "flying" like I was. I have been thinking ALOT about the best way to do this. I think accountability is key. Where some of us have done it before, I want the playing field to be equal. I propose we let the newbies begin and the rest of us jump back in to posting every night (if possible) the amount of points we've earned throughout the day. I want it to be motivating but not overwhelming or taking away from the MOST important things: our families. When it was a competition, sometimes I did things at night to get my points when what I really wanted to do was snuggle up with my hubby and veg. Not that I'm against having it be a competition, but let's try just jumping back in and posting our points before we start up a challenge. That will give everyone a chance to do their best without feeling guilty. And it will give anyone new who wants to join a chance to become familiar with all the flylady stuff.

I'm going to send emails to those who previously participated and add some who specifically expressed interest. If you know of anyone else who wants to do it, the more the merrier! Just have them email me and I will add them as an author on the blog so they can post and also sign them up to receive emails. If you don't want to receive emails when a new post has been made, just let me know and I can take you off the list. Have I forgotten anything? Just jump in where you are (as Flylady says). You are never behind! Let's get flying!!!

When we feel ready for a challenge (with a prize involved), we can start one up and anyone who wants to can participate. Good luck, ladies! I can't wait to hear how it's going.

P.S. For the new ladies, here is the link to our first post which will give you the rundown of what our points list entails. If you have any questions, go to Flylady.net and go to the baby steps and it explains everything (or ask me if you can't find it). I will email you a list you can print off and put on your fridge to check off each day.
