Week 11 #fmsphotoaday


This week was a great week for #fmsphotoaday - I really felt this week captured moments that truly reflect how I was feeling, not having to find something for the daily prompt.  

9 Make
Happy National Meatball Day.  We had mince out of the freezer to make an easy Monday night bolognese and ended up having meatballs after my friend Jo reminded me (how dare I forget) that today was indeed meatball day.  Needless to say these were the best meatballs I have eaten in a long time. Scrumptious.

10 Floral
Hydrangeas I love. I walk past them everyday on my way home from work and they just always seem to say "hello, how are you going today"!  They always have a certain class about them and I love how the colours change depending on the day/weather.  

11 Happy Place
Wednesday night at the Ivy, tasting Wines from Around the World with Sarah R.  In my happy place. With a great friend who I haven't seen for a while, drinking wine from all around the world. Perfect.  The list had 126 wines on it... I could not tell you how many I indeed tasted but I know my head felt it the next day.  Two surprises - Underwood Pinot Noir from Oregon and Beyerskloof, Chenin Blanc/Pinotage from South Africa.

12 Details
Greenespresso cafe does the best homemade food. Even with my seediness from the wine last night I wanted something relatively good for me for lunch.  A small homemade beef/vegetable pie with spiral pasta salad with sweet potato, kale, curried cauliflower was amazing. Love how the platters of salads are on the table (not in a germ infested bain marie).

13 Colour
Fire warden training today took us to our new office on Erskine Street where they  had these gorgeous pink lillies in the floral display!  Love love flowers at the moment as a reminder of nature, colour and colourful flowers make me smile.

14 Favourite
Another flower themed prompt.  The smell of the frangipanni is amazing and always makes me think of tropical holidays, sun, sand, surf and swimming.  

15 Small
Decided to do a clean of my crystals and stones yesterday and realised that my collection is quite small.  I think I need to get this up and get some new colourful runes to work with.

Love how I can keep this online journal of my weeks. having done the 365 challenge before I like that this time I have a prompt to make me think.

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
