Time for action

It is time for action. It is almost a year since I retired and never a year has gone so fast. It is almost christmas again and I dont know why I dont just buy two lots of presents each year as the time between goes so fast. So all the exciting things I had set aside do have not eventuated and I ask myself why. I have a suspicion that it took me a long time to recover from social workers 'burn out' and get life and my body back into pre university and work shape. I am almost feeling fit and healthy with the help of Joe Cross and his wonderful video Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. I also joined the gym and go to aqua arobics. It takes time to stay on top of this process and by the time I have planned meals, dealt with the house and charted my calorie intake I dont feel like doing much. I try to meditate regularly to help me find the peace that I so need and I keep a 'gratitude list'. I am making progress but it is slow and I still need to punctuate my day with regular breaks and a little television!!!! At the moment I am testing a new chocolate tart receipe but disaster struck last night when the dog took the 450gm block of beautiful tart bound chocolate and ate 150gms. It was a difficult night and I sat in the chair hoping he would not die. Instead he raced around the house with my scarf in in his mouth and then he colapsed and we slept on the sofa to await the dawn. The dog snored louding and I kept a watchful eye. Precious dog. I often say to my husband that I know he would find it difficult to choose between the dogs and me and I understand that.....one has to! Chocolate tart
