I am still a long way off of where I want to be in both my home and my diet but I have to say I am feeling more and more alive and want to experience more!
I want ADVENTURE!!!!
I am not sure if it was not having the time or the energy (more the latter) to go exploring, I am embarrassed to say that I haven''t even explored my home town...... Sad I know!
My excuse it I have been to busy, but the reality is that I have been to wrapped up in the hustle a bustle that is life...... But it doesn't have to be that way, I see that now.
So I have just taken another 4 bags to donation, my front entrance has finally returned to a lovely clear open space where I have full access to my beautiful bearded dragon Luna, she waves to us to greet us when we get through the door..... Its the little things like this that mean far more to me than any other possession! Although I think she owns us more than us own her hehe
My cleaning routine has already reduced and I have been able to spend more time learning, reading, cooking up potions :)
Time to start using that time to create lasting memories with the family!!!
So its time to find some local wonders to explore..... Has anyone got any places in mind for us to start?
To help power us along on our adventures I have found some yumi whole food plant based recipes and started to buy us all a stainless steel drink bottle, lunchbox, cutlery, hiking backpack to put it all in and some new hiking boots :)
I'm thinking to work our way from small hikes to larger ones with a bit of camping when its warmer weather. But I am thinking for now of lashing out with the money we are saving from our new way of life on a cabin somewhere, Hubby has been working super hard and with all the recent sickness we've been battling a nice long weekend would be the perfect way to recharge the old batteries :)
Updates:
I joined my local Co Op, Ballarat wholefood collective. The ladies have been so welcoming and helpful as I had no idea how it all worked...... So my advice for you is take a pen, piece of paper and your Zero waste shopping kit (mason jars, produce bags, shopping bags) and when you first join up it's $50 (take cash) wheen you ready to do your first shop you write down what you have bought along with the weight (they have scales at the front desk to use) and they can email you your receipt another win for zero waste. I found they had a wonderful selection of staples, they also had our local mushrooms, cheese, milk, eggs, bacon and amazing fresh bread that was still warm from the oven :)
To get your Veggie fix head:
Spring Creek Organics is a local farm that produces so many wonderful organic veg that taste like nothing you've ever tasted before! Here you can only buy whats in season which means you are getting quality fresh veg, you are also supporting the farmer and this farmer is not only good at what he does but also an absolute scream to chat to :) And you can take your veggie scraps back to the farm to feed their piggies!!!
In the journey to waste free & healthy living I have found that I have cut down on a lot of things that I saw as a luxuries or that I just had to have to make me happy BUT I have found that what really makes me happy is gym!
Spartans gym is not only the place my Hubby works out and trains but also the place that I feel the most confident and comfortable! My training goals have swapped and changed ALOT over the years but Spartans and the team have always been there for me and have always encouraged me to chase my goals. My goals have changed (again, poor hubby lol) I am currently working towards strength, I want to have a go at Powerlifting :)
I've been struggling with my diet so I am back on Emma Roche, my excuse is LIFE but with that said I haven't fallen off the wagon completely I just need a plan to follow as I simply can't be creative enough on my own.
So how is your journey going?
