fall days

Currently I'm sitting in my flat looking out the window and admiring how beautiful it is outside! It is perfect Fall weather here...sunny and 60 degrees. I can't believe how lucky we've been with the weather over the last few months here in London. It really has made such a huge difference in people's moods!

Not much new going on here. I am still really enjoying my job, my students, and my new co-workers. It feels great to be working at a school that encourages the staff to think outside the box and implement strategies that work. I was always so frustrated in NC when we were constantly being told what we could and couldn't do in our classrooms; regardless of the students we had in our classes and their needs. But that experience has made me appreciate this one so much more!

Besides the new job, I have been doing the Dukan Diet for the last 5 weeks. I've lost 9 pounds! At first it was difficult but now I actually really like eating the foods it suggests. I feel healthy. I use to feel bloated ALL the time and that's not the case now. I basically eat protein, veggies, and non-fat dairy (no cheese, just yogurt and milk). It's a limited diet...no alcohol, no bread, no pasta but like I said I feel REALLY good. I have my occasional cheats just so I don't get completely burnt out.

I have two more weeks of school before my half term break. Then I have off two weeks! I don't have any plans to travel or do anything. I want to save money and just get some rest. I am very excited about coming home for Christmas! 

That's all here in London for now! Sending lots of love to everyone. xoxo
