In a world that demands more and more of our attention it really is so important that we take steps to make the here and now a priority. I don’t know about you but I find that moments feel like they just slip away from us because we are too concerned with the past, future and what everyone else is doing. . I’m trying to make a few small shifts to be more present starting with practicing mindfulness for 10 minutes each morning when I wake up for one week. Definitely not something I am comfortable with hey let’s give it a go and see where it takes me 😉 . Has anyone else done something similar and found it beneficial?

Jess ✌🏼 . . . . . #funnymeme #mumlife #stellarperformance #adulting #innerwestmums #fitchicks #fitmums My version of A Creamy Ranch Dressing 👇🏼 . Other than maybe some mashed Avocado, hummus or basic Olive Oil + squeeze of lemon I never used to add dressing to my meals. I kind of just felt that they were enough without it and I hated the thought of my meal being coated and weighed down with a sauce I didn’t know the ingredients for. . I’ve realized lately though that I can take my already incredibly delicious and nutritious meals to a whole new level by adding on more adventurous yet still super simple homemade dressings like this Cashew based one. . Ingredients: 1/2 cup (120ml) water 1/2 cup (120ml) extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews, soaked and drained 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 cloves minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Sea Salt . Method: 1. Soak cashews in water for approx. 4 hours at room temp or in the fridge overnight. 2. Blend all ingredients in your food processor/blender to make a creamy sauce. Taste test and add in any additional Salt or Lemon as desired. 3. Serve on your meal or you could also just use it as a dipping sauce with some delicious seeded crackers! . You can change this dressing up by adding additional ingredients eg: Parsley, Chilli, Smoked Paprika or Nutritional Yeast to make it cheesy! . Store in a jar for up to 4 days in your fridge or freeze portions of it. . Yewwwwwwwww! This seriously is the goods! Give it a crack and add it to your next meal…Id love to hear how you like it! .

Today is workout Wednesday but it doesn't have to be Wednesday or even a workout to move your body and reap the benefits! 💪 You can incorporate incidental movement into everyday life for you and the family 👏😉 . Here are a few things I often do with my children if they haven't been active during the day through sport and other activities 👇🏻 . 1️⃣ Walking or weekend hiking! We are blessed with so many beautiful bush walks in Sydney as well as bays/beaches to walk along. Go exploring! 🧐 2️⃣ Go bike riding around the park/bay or to a destination 🚲 3️⃣ Have swimming races in your own or a local pool 🏊‍♀️ 4️⃣ Shoot hoops or play soccer/rugby/netball at your local park or court ⛹️‍♀️⛹🏻‍♂️ 5️⃣ Have a stretch session at home with the family 🧘🏻‍♀️ 6️⃣ Walk the dog (if you have one) of an evening after dinner with the family 🐕 . There is so much you can do. The list is endless so excuses should not be 🤣 . What do you like to do with your children to ensure they are getting enough physical activity in their day? 🤔 We would love to hear from you. I am always looking for fun things to do with my boys 🙌 . Dani xx . #incidentalexercise #beactive #movement #workoutmotivation #motivation #familytime #activelifestyle #stellarperformance #community #thinkoutsidethebox #commentbelow #innerwestmums #keepmoving #combatobesity Are you and your family practicing healthy lifestyle choices? 🍏⛹️‍♀️⚽️🏊‍♀️🥦 . I am currently studying nutrition/weight management and earlier this week I researched the statistics of overweight & obese children between the age of 2-17 👭👬 . I was horrified to discover that 1 in 4 children in Australia are either overweight or obese. While this may not be the case for our demo graphical area it is an alarming statistic for our nation 😱😔 . Our children learn from us each and every day so it's up to us to set the example and teach them about living a healthy lifestyle and what it means to have balance. Sadly ,in the same study it states that 2 out of 3 adults are also overweight or obese 😬 . As a society if we don't act now and start to make change in our immediate adult life the next generation (our children) will follow suit and their statistics will rise. Remember a child's lifelong habits stem from their childhood 👶🏻 . So what can we do now as a family to ensure the next generation are not a rising statistic of obesity 🤔 . 1️⃣ Talk about the importance of daily movement in the form of sport, walking, swimming etc. As a family do an evening walk together, bike riding or a game of netbal/soccer or basketball at your local courts or park ⛹️‍♀️ . 2️⃣ Teach them about everyday foods such as lean meats, fruit,veges, dairy, low GI carbohydrates and sometimes foods such as ice cream, chocolates, cakes, chips, biscuits, fast food chains 👌🏻 . 3️⃣ When a child says they are full, don't force them to eat all of their dinner 🙅🏼‍♀️ . 4️⃣ Serve appropriate portions of meat, carbohydrate and vegetables onto each plate and avoid second helpings 🍽 . 5️⃣ Always provide a healthy breakfast such as yoghurt/fruit, eggs/avocado, toast etc and avoid sugar loaded cereals 🍳🥑 . 6️⃣ Ask for their help to prepare dinner so they learn how to cook healthy food as they are more likely to try new things if they have been involved in the prep 😀 . These are just a few things I try to do with my children daily. If you have any other tips or daily rituals we would love to hear them below in the comments? 👇🏻 . As a community let's collaborate and teach/support each other. Lately Ive been lacking a bit of energy and suffering from bloating 😕 so to say that I am excited to be joining the girls on our Reboot starting on Monday is an understatement 🍓🥒🥑🍋🥦🙌🏼....ya’ll know I can’t say no to a challenge 😆 . Ive been giving thought to what I want to focus on through the Reboot and decided that my gut really needs some TLC. Anyone else feel me? . With this in mind over the next 40 days throughout the Reboot I’m making a commitment to take steps to improve my gut health and look forward to sharing what additional actions I take with the girls doing the reboot so they can benefit too ☺️ . Soooooo I just thought Id throw it out there on the off chance that you might be feeling like me and in need of a focus to kickstart some great habits I’d absolutely love for you to join us on the Reboot too 👭 .

If this is too much volume for you, just do one round of the warm up and make them 25m sprints if needed or reduce the number. On the other hand if you want something more challenging do 10 sets of the sprints 💃🏻 If anyone would like to come and do this with me one day, just holla and I’m keen beans 🤩 Jess ✌🏼 #swimming #swimmingworkout #hiit #workoutideas #fitness #fitnessmotivation #exercise #healthy #fitchicks #fitmums #innerwestmums #innerwestsydney #stellarperformance 🌏🦍🌱🦶🏼🐟 Over the last 6 months my family have made a commitment to make changes in our household and in our daily living so that we can reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to saving our planet. Previously I honestly thought I couldn’t make a difference so why even bother to do anything more than put my household recycling into the correct bin. If however we be the change we want to see in the world and create conversation we will inspire others to do the same 🙌🏼 . So...I wanted to share with you a few things that we are doing and I hoped you would share what you are doing in your household to give me and others some more ideas 😉 . 💡Ive realised that the best way to reduce waste is to not create it. Meal plan to avoid food wastage & when buying personal/household items only purchase what your really need. Everything you bring into your home will end up as landfill if it can’t be recycled. . 💡Reduce your consumption of animal products. Animal agriculture is one of the biggest contributors to climate change! . 💡 I haven’t tried this out at Coles/Woolies yet but our Deli at our local Supermart allows you to bring your own re-usable container when purchasing any items 👌🏼 . 💡Reusing items where possible. Wash out jars and use them to store things in or I’ve even started using them as a water bottle so I haven’t had to buy new ones. . 💡Avoid buying bottled water, say no to plastic straws and use reusable shopping bags. Keep in mind that “disposable” plastic products are anything but disposable and can take hundreds and hundreds of years to biodegrade, if at all. . 💡Avoid using a dryer where possible. We don’t actually own a dryer and although at times it can be inconvenient we do manage to dry everything on the line or on clothes horses inside. . 💡This week we are focusing on researching worm farms or a compost 👏🏼 By using one I reckon we can reduce our rubbish waste by over 70% AND we will reduce the number of bio-degradeable bags that we currently use in our bin 💃🏻🙌🏼 . So please 🙏🏼 comment below 👇🏼 and share with me what you are doing in your household and in particular if you have any tips on worm farms v compost Id love to hear them! . Jess ✌🏼 There’s not many things better than this... Achieving something you doubted you could and having your cheer squad there to celebrate 👩‍👩‍👧 #thebest . I managed to come up with what I thought to be about 10 very valid excuses as to why I wouldn’t do the 2km Cole Classic Ocean Swim yesterday. Turns out they weren’t actually valid 🙈 and I was just creating excuses because I was scared of failing as this was double the length of the longest ocean swim I’d ever done 😬 . So after giving myself a massive pep talk and a sleepless night of nightmares that featured these guys 👉🏼🦈 😬 I headed to Manly with my cheer squad yesterday and am proud to report I did 🏊🏻‍♀️🏁🏅 . If I’m honest with myself often I tend to be slightly conservative when I set goals and yes when I achieve them it’s an amazing feeling but doing this swim yesterday made me realise that it’s a completely different level of satisfaction that comes when you achieve something you thought was out of reach, something that truely scared you! #nomoremediocregoals . The moral of the story and my hot tip for your Monday....SET A GOAL THAT SCARES THE SH*T OUT OF YOU 😉✌🏼 . . . . #didntgeteatenbyashark #nomoremediocregoals #timetopushmylimits #whatsnext #motivationmonday #coleclassic #oceanswim #stellarperformance #swimming #xtraining #groupfitess #manly #innerwestmums #fitness #fitchicks #fitmums #cheersquad #motivation Love this 🙌 It’s so true! Lets start lifting each other higher! Always 😍 . Dani Xx . #lifteachotherup #bekindalways #love #compassion #everybodyneedsafriend #stellarperformance #womensupportingwomen Has it been long enough between my bowl spam posts? 🤔😬😂 . I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself, I just get so freaking excited about food in general and between you and me, my bowls have been pretty bloody amaze-balls lately 💃🏻🤩🤤 . These are a few from over the last week that I wanted to share in the hope that it provides even just one of you with some #inspo to get some good stuff on your plate or in this case in your bowl 😉 Oh and all of these are Gluten and Diary Free if that is something that floats your boat. . 🧐 Zoom in on the pic and check out whats in each of them to get a closer look but I pretty much just follow the steps I shared with you last month on how to make an incredibly delicious nutrient dense bowl...speaking of which did you give it a go? If not, I encourage you to have a read as it makes your bowl making adventure simple whilst ensuring a delicious outcome! . In the meantime, I’ve got a challenge for you 👇🏼 . . When you do your grocery shop over the weekend buy 1-2 new veggies that you haven’t bought before (or at least in a while) and add them to your next meal! We often get into the habit of buying the same ones which a) means you get bored of the taste of your meals b) your body isn’t getting a variety of nutrients from different foods. I have recently been adding in raw snap peas which I’m loving and yes I know these aren’t veggies but I’m obsessed with my new addition of a dollop of coconut yogurt and homemade Dahl 🙌🏼 Seriously I can't get enough of the stuff 🙊 . 📬 PM if you have any questions about any of the meals! Jess ✌🏼 . . . #fuelfriday #plantbasedliving #plantbaseddiet #nutrition #stellarperformance #groupfitness #outdoorfitness #fitchicks #healthy #fitmums #innerwestmums #innerwestsydney #fitnesscommunity
