I was looking at some old threads and read about FlyLady. It's amazing! I am a great procrastinator and it looks like it might be worth trying! I just wondered if anybody else does this?

I've done flylady since 2002. It's a wonderful way to get more organized without guilt. I hope you give it a try!

Sorry, I should have posted the website. It's Open Original Shared Link. It's a new way to approaching cleaning and organization. They say everything can be done in 15 minutes. It looks really cool. I am going to Target later tonight to get a timer so I can start with it tomorrow.

I'm a flybaby since October 2005 -- it's changed my LIFE!!! I don't do absolutely everything, but I'm surprised at all of the routines I've incorporated easily into my life.

I also subscribe to Savingdinner.com -- the menus she promotes. I use the regular menu mailer for 6, which is usually gluten free (or very easy to subsitute gluten-free ingredients). She also just came out with a gluten free menu mailer on the Low Carb edition -- I got my mom a subscription for her birthday. I could go on and on about the system and how great it is!! And the menus are so great. I've done them for a year now and I'm so proud especially of my kids -- they actually EAT VEGGIES now!!! And I save $$ and am not stressed about dinners anymore.

I used to follow Flylady and have fallen off the wagon for a while now. I am going to give it a try again too. I was thinking about it last night, so it's funny to see this thread here this morning! Maybe we could all help each other!!

Today, I'm getting control of my kitchen and cleaning off the counters (and shining my sink, of course!)

I'm going to check out the dinner site. That is my worst nightmare!!

I did try it a few years ago, but never really stuck with it. I really need to though, lol, my house is a total disaster and every surface in it is a hot spot. :lol:

I tried for a week but just couldn't take all those emails!!! :P:P They have some good information on the website - I've done' some browsing - just to pick up some ideas/hints.

The emails can definitely be overwhelming. You can sign up for the "digest" version, where you get all the emails in one big long email once a day. (Not everyone knows about that!!)

I started yesterday. I am going into a new school year and I;m freaking out because I neglect laundry, my chores, etc. Instead of cleaning the kitchen sink, I do my bathroom sink because my mom does the kitchen sink. That would be great if we could all support each other! I'd love that!

Kassandra

About the emails, they are annoying, but they're really helpful. I get sidetracked by the computer so when I check my emails and get a reminder...it's neat.

I'm not going to sign up again because of the emails. I am going to just go to the website and read the things.

Yesterday did not go so well for me. I was sidetracked by EVERYTHING - the kids, the phone, people stopping by etc. So, I'm trying again today.

I had never heard of this but just saw a story. Amazing that this woman is making millions doing this.

That was an interesting article. I don't really know what I thought about it...it was a little mean to her. I don't think she's nagging at all. It's so easy to just delete the "15 e-mails" which I only get about 4 a day...so I don't know where that number came from? Oh well. ;)

I am on day 4 of Flybabying and I am going to look at the saving dinner book at my bookstore. I'm excited.

Thanks for the article link. I didn't think it was very nice to her either. It really wouldn't make me want to check out the site with all the nagging. But, hey, more power to her that she is able to make this a successful business and help people!! I didn't like all the emails either so that's why I just check the website.

Yesterday was a much better day for me.

I checked out the saving dinner site that was recommended and printed out some of the free menus. Way cool!!

How's all the flybabies?

I've just checked the site and had to ROFL that the zone this week is the master bedroom. That is THE WORST room in my house, I'm embarrassed to say. It's my dumping ground. SO, it will take me way longer than 15 minutes to get everything off my dresser, nightstand and backboard. I've got a load of laundry going and will swipe and swish my bathroom when I take my shower. I also have my menu planned for the week. :P

Kassandra,

Hi, my daughter insisted I check out the flylady after a carwreck sent me into a tailspin and my spotless home went into dissaray. I was a perfectionist that did nothing because I didn't have a month to get it all done. and the flylady was the kindest person in my life. My home is now a home again. All the health issues of Celiac impacted the projects i wanted to do also, but she gave me a vision and encouragement with out the criticism or guilt, for improvement. the 5 minute timer works wonders. and the longer you stick with it the easier life in the home cleaning arena gets.

I love the fact that now I can take a play day and feal good about it. You don't have to buy a thing from her and she will still help you. If it is the same as a couple years ago.

Best of Flylady

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
