Week 7 #fmsphotoaday

So behind on my blogging.. here is Week 7!

 
 


9 Energy
Feeling a little sluggish means I need to exercise more to get more usable energy and swimming is the place that I need to be more often.  For me following the black line is time when I can just let go of all the stress, tension and worries and give my body a good swim session.
 
10 Inspires Me
Part of the sluggishness means I need to get myself back into exercise. It makes you feel good, inspires me to be more creative in my life, gives me more energy and reduces the cortisol in the body.  This photo of Drew and I on our first trip to Thailand together I felt so fit and healthy and alive.  This is what inspires me to train hard, eat well, rest, recover, be at one with body and mind.
 
11 On the Wall
Our security system at home is our fluffy ginger SH Tiggy. He likes to be up high and keep an eye on the other units behind us, always on the wall chilling out and keeping an eye on things.  Love this little bundle.
 
12 Pointy
Taking some time out this week to relax and pamper myself with a little pedicure on the way home from a busy day at work.  Love that you get a nice massaging chair, someone to scrub and make your feet pretty plus you get a nice foot massage, leg massage and hot towels. An hour of bliss for $28. not a bad way to spend I say.
 
13 Temptation
Dark chocolate with nuts. My favourite chocolate ever. The darker the better.  The taste of the cacao and the nuts together is a marriage made in heaven. You don't get that mad sugar high, low and it tastes divine.  This is my temptation today.
 
14 Love
Love is a many splendid thing, love lifts us up where we belong and for me love is something I will always cherish with this gorgeous man.  Love is being there for each other in the good and bad times/days, to be supportive, to give hugs and just be together knowing you are enough. the security that comes with love is amazing but also so scary that you could lose it at any moment. I love looking at Drew and just knowing that with my entire body and soul I love this man.  I spend time thinking about how lucky I am to have him in my life, how happy he makes me and focusing on the good and not the bad. I hear many women whinge about their husbands, men are simple creatures.
 
15 Spot
Spot on the ground. Was walking to the train station on my way home from work and noticed this spot, took a picture as it shows of my newly manicured toes too!  yay.  Hometime makes me happy, spotting things makes me happy. Didn't think this would be the photo for this prompt for today but like that it is.

Who is Dons Health, Fitness & Wellbeing?

Image
Another year older,  I realise I have come so far with my health, fitness and wellbeing beliefs. I am like a sponge, I love learning new things, reading articles and keeping my Facebook and Instagram published is something I am passionate about, doesn't matter how many people read it, I am drawn to writing posts and publishing. I was driven to start my FB and Insta pages,  to spread the healthy message out there instead of the unhealthy diet & exercise messages that you see on social media, I am passionate about the body and the mind being healthy.  Check me out   Facebook  and  Instagram . Even though I am not a trainer anymore - I still have so many training routines in my head, not to mention choreography to dance classes I have done (albeit badly)! The not giving a shit what people think is the main thing I would say to everyone - be you, be loud, be proud, dance like people ARE watching if that is your thing, never apologize for being you.  My purpose is to be a voice - to

All about breathing in, out and letting go.

  Had the most enjoyable yoga class today at Hard Candy... I try and get to Deb's class every Wednesday lunchtime because it really makes me appreciate life, and forget the shit that we hold onto and how unimportant it really all is in the big scheme of things.    An hour of stretches, breathing in a room heated to 37 degrees makes me let go of unnecessary worry and also stretches out and strengthens my tall body.   It is truly a perfect way for me to get fitter and also look after my mental state, because sometimes we can get so caught up in life, that we forget to just let go.  We hold on to far too much energy that can make us feel heavy, flat and we need to let that shit go, the conversation you had three days ago with a friend, let it go, the guy who cut you off in traffic this morning, let it go.   Life is too short to worry about crap... we need to get out of our own mind and experience other thoughts and experience instead of playing the same record in our mind

Just Start Today

Image
  Just Start today. There is never a perfect time to start towards your goals and changing your habits.  Just Start today, here. It can take up to 21 days to change a habit, there is your first milestone to reach, let’s focus on that, just doing something different/new/changing for 21 days. How hard can that be? Time to get out of that Lockdown or winter funk - you are important, you matter and your mental and physical health is important for you and your family/friends.   So, where to start I hear you ask, choose only 1-3 goals at a time, and choose goals with a measurable timeframe - i.e. reduce screen time before bed, increase mindfulness to 15mins a day, try yoga once a week, do a walk with friends every Sunday, eat less processed foods daily, keep a gratitude journal, go for that check up before end of October etc -  start with the following 5 action steps before you just start:     1 - Awareness - Change starts with awareness - you know you need to make a change, this i
