I'm currently sitting in a William's cafe in London and I felt it was fitting to order a "London Fog" - with soy of course! I'm here hoping that a change of scenery will help me write my new big important blog. What better way to procrastinate than to update this blog first?! It was a long weekend and I took an extra few days to reorganize my place and just enjoy the city.
London really is a cute little town! Everything is about 15-20 minutes away...everything. One mall is maybe 5 minutes closer but the city planners managed to make both malls equally necessary to go to. For example one has Forever 21 but the other one has H&M, or they both have The Bay but one store doesn't have housewares so you have to go to the other one.
The downtown is a cute area as well, lots of little shops, cafes and restaurants. Now I just need to make more local friends so I have someone else to enjoy them with! I do have a few friends here already, but people have their own lives and I can't constantly bother these friends. Luckily my Windsor friends are still amazing and have come to visit almost every other weekend.
The past few days I've really gotten extra strict with my gluten and dairy free diet. So far I'm going strong! I cleared out my fridge and cupboards so I can't even cheat at home if I tried. The most difficult is when I'm out with friends. I have also increased my exercising! I'm doing workout videos in my living room (I realllyyyy hope that the apartment below me cannot hear me doing jumping jacks...) and today I went for a 3km walk and jogged a total of 5 minutes of that. The walking is getting easier but the jogging made my legs feel like a bowl of jello and I couldn't concentrate on my steps. I got nervous that I'd trip and fall so I slowed back down to a walk. They didn't build rome in one day, right? Just need to be patient with my body.
If I have time today I want to swing by the MS society. I've taken a peak at their website but I do better when someone explains things that pertain to me and I don't have to weed through other information. Speaking of MS society, our MS walk team raised a total of $3400!!! I'm so happy :)
