Getting fit

I realized that getting fit isn't about dieting per se. It isn't about joining a fitness club either. It's only a commitment to one's self. Before, I was pushing myself to diet just to shed off that extra fat. I bought supplements that extracts fat, another that has full fiber on it etc .. but it didn't work. I was also a weekend warrior. I tried to do exercise on weekends and push myself to the limit. No matter how tired I get doing the exercise, it simply didn't work. Then, I find myself Migrating to Canada. I was forced to use public transport and walk long distances. I even had the routine of walking my kids to school. These "no-effort" routines proved to be more efficient than the previous things that I did. The key is consistency. I did this "no-effort" routines daily and the results were really great!

Apartment move

We moved in three days ago to our apartment. Finally, we have a place of our own. Living with friends or relatives is tough. Privacy is limited and the comfort of home simply isn't there when you live with others. At least now, we can do whatever we want in our place. Of course, we should abide the apartment rules. This is a part of our journey, our path in Migrating in Canada.
