Week 15 #fmsphotoaday


6  Shape
Easter Sunday was Elissa's 3rd Birthday - our gorgeous little niece.  She was super spoilt by Uncle Drew & Aunty Donna receiving her square wrapped present she was super excited to see what was inside and was very happy withe TMNJ tent.  

7 Beauty
Flashback to travelling to the Great Ocean Road this year, which is just truly mother nature showing of her beauty.  Gorgeous and beautiful creations carved out by the energy of the planet and tides.  

8 Breakfast
I just luurve blueberries!  I don't remember the first time I ate fresh ones but I know it wasn't until in my late twenties, maybe even in London or Europe.  They were never available where I grew up and only were in tins or pre-made muffins etc.  I love them. I eat them out of the container, with almonds or on cereal, in yoghurt, with chocolate!!  I always get value for money as i eat the entire punnet in two days!

9 Inspired
Heading out to my osteo appt on the 9th April I had to duck into Westfield's nearby at Bondi Junction to purchase a thank you present for a colleague at work.  I was looking for a great coffee table book on architecture or room design.  I found many a cookbook and this inspiring row of chefs with cooking books.  I am super inspired to cook many different recipes in the next couple months.  Will share soon (starting below).

10 Dark
Dark night and a gorgeous candle glowing in the kitchen.  Sometimes it is just nice to have no light on and relax in the surroundings of candle light. Nameste.

11 This smells so good
Red Thai Sweet Potato soup made in the slow cooker. Divine.  So Easy.  Simple ingredients and tastes truly amazing, it is our favourite!!  I just fry some red thai paste in the slow cooker (on sauté) then add coconut milk (440mls) and boil for 8mins or so and then add 1kg chopped up sweet potato and 1L chicken stock. Put lid on an let it do its thing for two hours. Yum yum in my tum.  I put into a bowl and use the stick blender to get it a good consistency and dish up, freeze some and serve with some dinner rolls fresh from the oven or crusty bread. 

12 Something Green
Today was a great Sunday, the Coogee United boys were playing football in Maroubra and I managed to get a good 35min walk in before the game. Did a big loop of the oval and then onto Anzac parade and then stopped at a fruit and veg shop to get mandarins and just noticed all the delicious greens they had stocked.  Delicious, looked so healthy and great prices.

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

  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
