The next nine..... #photoadaychallenge

Seems I added my snack blurb to my last post.... the picture is in this one! Haha publishing joys.

Missed a few prompts this week and realise that May is nearly over! Ah well, June will give it another crack and maybe add a theme! See what FatMumSlim proposes!


Snack
Into the city today, second time this week after a doctors appt. going to get a breast ultrasound and needed a little snack for comfort. Getting off the train at Town Hall, I grabbed a little Bread Top goodness. Coconut for comfort as I sat waiting to get my breasts checked after a lump and rash appeared on my right boob. All clear, results came back good. Grateful. 

Two Things
Many battles have happened in our rental property as the owners live in the US and don’t really seem to care too much about the property.  The side fence has been falling down for many years and finally got approval for a cheap quote (well the neighbours did, they own their house) to get the fence fixed.  There were way more than two things wrong with the fence once completed but this photo shows two definite flaws in the joinery (or lack of)! Mr Carruthers my woodwork teacher would not be pleased.

In the Kitchen
One of things we do together is bake in the kitchen.  We decided to try and make our own playdough, because the other stuff kept getting eaten, lost, hard, mixed with other colours…..   was a very fun and sticky mess made In the Kitchen.  Good times.

Reflection
Natural reflection of the trees in the water that had fallen from the sky. A mirror of nature’s beauty.  A reminder that we are surrounded by beauty in times that are uncertain and unprecedented. To reset and enjoy nature when the noise gets too loud and we need to enjoy our natural reflections all around.

I isolate here

With a nice hot cup of tea….. in my new cup thanks to Drew’s work sending a thank you hamper…. Which included this great Robert Gordon pottery mug, made in Australia. Lovely way to isolate here.

Routine

Walking my moo to day-care is a great part of my daily routine.   We walk and count the cars, look at the lights turning green, we wait for the green man to cross the road and pick flowers on the way and look out for butterflies. For Maddie it is a morning nature walk with me and for me it is time with my girl and some exercise, not sitting, not driving the car all the time to day-care.

Something Green

Park is open! Words we were excited to hear after spending a few months in isolation and not going to my favourite park – Sydney Park. I knew everyone would flock there to get daily exercise and didn’t want to be going where there were lots of people. So was nice to finally get back there, do some walking around looking at the ducks, birds and seeing the new baby swan cygnets.  We always had to check to see if we could see Eric the eel and we did, he is a fat little thing!

I enjoy Sydney park as it is so lush and green, so many green somethings to admire. It is getting outside and into nature but just down the road.

Breakfast 

Eggs bru is my favourite breakfast.  I could eat eggs everyday for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Breakfast is such an important start to the day to get the body and mind fuelled for the days activites. Good fats, protein and so warm and yolky. Divine.

Lunch

Not the most sexiest food picture but so good and delicious. Bakes salmon and boiled potatoes with butter for lunch. Fuel again, good nutritious food to keep the body going and functioning with the nutrients it needs. Warm and nurturing, and a bonus being at home everyday to cook a yummy and warm lunch.

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
