I wish that was my habit for this month! I adore decluttering but sadly, have nothing left to go through.

Impressive! I will never not have things to declutter, I don’t know where it comes from as I don’t really shop for things. I’ve gone through all the easy things now so I’m hitting the hard stuff, so I’m constantly behind on my days. I still owe three things from yesterday before I get to the 12 things for today!

@LazyCow I wish you could come over and tackle our collective office. Running several businesses which require inventory and all the cords makes our office pure chaos.

I am doing well this week thus far. Been getting up at 5:30 to go on a 3 mile-ish run. Today I wasn’t quite up to a run so I jogged a mile and went to the park to do off ice jumping Exercises and core work and then walked the mile home.
Would like to do a little more but I am proud I have any habit for now

I’ve already lost track of when was the last time I checked in. I dusted and put away more yarn on Sunday. Not sure what I did yesterday. Does laundry count as improving my environment? If so, then I’m good. If not, I think I have failed the challenge.

I think there is no failing the challenge. Just starting again anew tomorrow.

I have been pants at my intended relaxation-without-productivity time – I keep gardening and knitting. The closest I’ve come is playing a bunch of solitaire.
However, I have been doing pretty frequent tarot pulls, which is a different type of pondering time, so that’s good?

Got up this morning, put on boots, went out and gardened before interminable web meeting (which I’m technically still in at this moment).

I’ve done at least one push-up (which usually turns into at least 5) every day so far this month.
However I’ve skipped 3 piano days because it got late. I should try to play during the day but I like playing late at night, except for when it gets too late and I get too sleepy (or technically it becomes tomorrow).

Pachabels cannon is very hard
Also the problem (/fun part?) of playing at night is I drink a lot of whiskey and then I’m not sure if the music is hard or my brain isn’t working.

Week 2: I went for a run yesterday (2.8 miles). It was sunny and gorgeous out. Bonus: I went for a walk with my husband later in the day.

Currently have an 11 day streak in Rewirements, and definitely met my 4 days of 7 hours of sleep for Week 1 and am on track for Week 2.
I’ve been reading large segments of a chapter or an entire chapter a day of The Amber Spyglass, so on track for reading goal as well.

Did the thing yesterday, plus made bread and a mask. So far today, I have gone out into the edge of the woods and murdered a bunch of invasive Japanese honeysuckle.

Yesterday went for a 5.2km run and also did some stretching while watching tv
Some gardening today, but need to plant more tomorrow. Also rode to College city with husband, who needed to borrow some gear for building virtual labs for summer courses. I stayed in the truck, but I got to look at different places than home through the window! He saw one person, distanced, masked, and gloved on both sides.
Then I helped him build online courses (he is new to our system, so I’m tech support) and got a ton of exercise running the treadle through canvas, making cushion covers for our outdoor furniture.

Did garden things in sandals again. Giving up on the boot requirement - not worth the pain. Repotted tomatp starts, soaked a bunch of black eyed pea’s, then planted a whole lot of black eyed peas out in the garden.
Also made bread and sewed more canvas covers for outdoor furniture. My treadle is sure easier to push making masks vs. heavy canvas!

I haven’t been too regular about checking in, but I have been ON THE BALL with all the fitness components of my goals. I’ve taken 2/3 steel mace zoom classes so far, and for one of them I redid half of it later in the week. I’ve been consistent with 4 City Fit Girls workouts per week, and I’ve been doing my mace 360s and active passive hang buildups. My running mileage has continued its slow buildup apace, and I’ve managed 2 trail runs so far this month (I can’t remember if the really short one where I twisted my ankle and hobbled around was this month or last month).
I am, however, behind in Ulysses. Guess the jock side is winning out over the nerd side of me right now! Though there’s still time to catch up.

I put away some yarn and filed some papers both today and yesterday.
Edit: also sprayed the roses with neem oil today, finally. Need to do that more regularly.

I didn’t do the challenge at all last week but it actually helped me realize I was a bit depressed because the idea of doing burpees had a different flavor of “I don’t wanna” that by the third day I realized was familiar. I’ve been so used to Anxiety Beast that I missed when depression snuck up behind me low-key. Thank you past therapy for making this realization an “OH okay time to revisit basic self care stuff” moment and not a “meh, time to go be a lump forever” moment.
Trying to take my meds, drink water, let myself have treats but also not entirely eat like garbage (tonight’s dinner has lots of vegetables). I need to remember to get outside more even if it’s inconvenient. I don’t know if I want to give up on the goal for the month but we’ll see how I feel in a few days.
