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.

Settlement Agencies

To cover all bases, be sure to check your settlement agencies. Each province have several of these and they help in making the settlement for newcomers much easier. They can provide your information, references, networks ... etc ... A list of this agencies can be found in this Migrate to Canada.

Two weeks

It's two weeks since we arrived here and now its start to put the game face on and start Working in Canada. The settlement is almost done, only the school and the OHIP remains so I guess its pretty much wrapped up.

2nd week

Two weeks after we Migrate to Canada and things are now starting to fall on its right places. The last few weeks back home and the first week in Canada is what i call a "swirl". I believe that is mostly called preparation and transition. There are lot's of things to prepare for in a migration and careful planning is needed.

Goderich

We had a good time in town called Goderich. This small town in south west Ontario is the first place we visited after we landed. The town is full of heritage and history. It is also near a beach since the town is at the coast of Lake Huron. Migrating to Canada is a one true good experience for us.

Back Ache

My back hurts again. I think I pulled a muscle when I was taking a shower. I had to reach down to get the soap when I heard that "pop" on my right side. It hurts bad. I hope it heals before we travel and fulfill our Canada Immigration. My health insurance won't be activated immediately and would take 3 months before I can avail of it. That's why I need to be physically healthy on the near term. Otherwise, it would cost me a lot. I'm now seriously thinking of getting a temporary health insurance.
