Dear Coffee, I miss you.......


This is me without coffee.  I used to lie when I said I wasn't addicted to coffee. I am. Totally and utterly addicted in love with the stuff.  I love & miss everything about it.  The aroma of freshly grounded coffee beans, the slightly bitter first taste of a long black before adding a wee bit of full fat milk to it.....  that feeling around 10:30am when I need another hit and the socialisation of me and the barista who knows exactly what coffee I need at certain times of the day (I like to mix things up a long black with or without a dash, a strong latte, a piccolo...)
Today I tried a decaf latte... it was good, enough to satisfy my brain that I was indeed "having a coffee".  Nearly 7 days in... 21 to go.  I need to be strong, like a nice long black.
 
If you would like to sponsor me, please do so. Small cost of a coffee or wine perhaps?

Who is Dons Health, Fitness & Wellbeing?

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
