5494141✨ Reintroducing Myself - Thank you for following along on my journey - all 22k of you wonderful humans!! I wanted to take a moment here to reintroduce myself. I love this little community called IG & I love and appreciate you all 💎 I’m 43 and grew up in the west of Ireland as number 7 of 9 children, with English parents. I’ve had a diverse journey, studying and working in law, spending many years modeling, and dabbling in acting. My adventures have taken me across the globe, living in various countries. These days, I’m a health and nutrition coach, personal trainer, and still modeling. I work online (www.cristionaaston.com) and from the beautiful Stable Studio at @killruddery in Wicklow. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from life and studies and use it in my work, coaching people around the world on how to live a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle, which I’m truly passionate about. But here’s the real story. I’ve loved deeply and lived fully. I’ve made my share of mistakes, including marrying the wrong guy. After my divorce, I dated a few guys who each taught me huge lessons and made me dig deeper to rediscover and connect with the true me, for which I am grateful. Through it all, I’m on a continuous journey of self-discovery. Now, more than ever, I’m learning to love myself and accept what the universe has in store for me. This reel captures just some highlights of the first 6 months of 2024, each memory and all of the people who are part of that memory I am grateful for. Thank you for joining me on this Instagram part of my life’s journey, where I mainly share my daily routines. Here’s to embracing life’s ups and downs and learning to dance in the rain. I’m excited to see where the future takes me as I’m open to so many more adventures and I know the BEST IS YET TO COME!!! Love you all. Don’t forget your morning walks 😄🌅❤️🌱And don’t forget, quit drinking, quit toxic people, quit smoking, hell quit anything, but never, ever quit on yourself. Be your own rock, your own best friend. YOU ARE Gods creation and beautiful in every way. #SelfDiscovery #LoveYourself #LifeJourney #HelloAgain #22k #healthylifestyle #ireland
18538Modelling has brought me so much joy - amazing people, fun shoots, and stunning clothes - but it’s also been a journey. At 43, I’ve finally learned to recognise the triggers and treat myself with love and respect. Not fitting into a piece of clothing doesn’t define me. What defines me is how I feel: strong, confident, and fueled by nourishing food, lifting weights, and climbing mountains - both literal and metaphorical. 🌿💪 @irelandamvmtv the other morning wearing @casualcompany.ie styled by @styleisleirl booked @assetsmodels ✨ As always skin treatments by @southwilliamclinic help boost my confidence also so much!! They’ve been in charge of all of any aesthetic treatments of my face for the past three years 👌🏼 #SelfLove #BodyConfidence #StrengthNotSize

28436To rest!!! 🌸 This morning, I felt so off—slept badly, period pain, bloat etc. I had planned to crush a workout, especially after spending so much time at the desk lately, but sometimes, rest is exactly what’s needed. Instead, I dragged myself for my morning walk (HABIT), before usual classes @killruddery, then met a friend for a good chat, followed by a sauna, ice baths (THE single best decision I made today ❄️🔥 - twice weekly HABIT), and even more great convos with a new friend on his own journey. He reminded me of something I already know (but sometimes forget!): don’t be so hard on yourself. I struggle with that, NGL! 😅 Here’s me, feeling “bloated” and still showing up. Because, let’s be real, we all have those days! 💫 I treated myself to @daata_restaurants before hosting my first-ever Weight Lifting For Women Masterclass with @mairenig_alchemy. Such an inspiring group of women who took to the weights like naturals! 🏋️♀️ Here’s to another cycle on this beautiful monthly clock. Follicular stage is next—bring on the weights and miles! 🌅 Just show up - or rest. Some days even a bit of both! Love you ladies ❤️
