Hello, faithful readers… yes, the dead have arisen! Sorry for the long break.

I have been very busy looking for, getting depressed, and finally finding, work. Then very busy doing said work… couldn’t even do Nanowrimo.org properly this year.  I have been intently following some people’s stories on facebook, and wishing (which does NO good) that I had more time to do my stuff. Then kicked self, as I was off work for a YEAR and stopped blogging back in April. It’s true that busy people get more done. Well, I have stood up, shaken out my skirts, and started the journey once more.

What have you all been doing? I have been chasing around with my grown children and my mum and hubby.  Mid summer my middlest child brought me a puppy!! And I love him. He is a schnoodle and very intelligent (yes, always thinking), and already larger than originally advertised by said middle child. *stern face* He also has a lower canine that is NOT on the outside of his jawline where it should be.  Could be surgery in his future.

Eating for Energy- progress

So I started Eating for Energy by Yuri Elkaim back in November, and I thought I would give you an update: I am learning what to eat without actually looking at the menu and recipes! Isn't that great?  It's like when you progress from looking at keys to free typing!  I now remember to soak and sprout beans and nuts. It's fun! It's like going to a spa for all your meals.. too bad there is no masseuse in the package (sad face!).

[Christmas was an ode to shortbread cookies and fruitcake... but I didn't gain weight, I just didn't lose any.]

I lost about 10 pounds right away, and have sort of levelled off. But I expect more to come off as the weeks go by.  It was the Christmas break that caused the levelling off, so it should be better now that the sweets are gone.

I have also been able to keep my nails neat and unbitten. Only took 49 years.  It's all progress.

What have you made progress on?
